q2 i? For STEM tenure, STEM patent, and STEM occupation, the combined-cohort gain-ratio confidence intervals include 1, so no statistically significant difference between dose groups was detected; equivalence was not tested. → Wai 2004

q2 · i? · associational · r?

Combined-cohort comparison for STEM tenure: 4.4% high dose versus 2.9% low dose, with gain ratio "1.558 (0.909, 2.820)" and proportion-difference CI (−0.010, 0.041) including zero. Patent (1.110, CI 0.838–1.471) and occupation (1.178, CI 1.007–1.377) ratios are reported in the same table.

"STEM Tenure 2.9% 4.4% (−0.010, 0.041) 1.558 (0.909, 2.820)"
