Template

Do not present a statistically significant result as automatically important. With a large enough sample, a trivially small effect clears a significance threshold, so a low p-value says nothing about magnitude. Do not report significance without the effect size and its real-world meaning, and do not let "significant" stand in for "large" or "consequential."
