neutral Christine HOUDY : What's about *big numbers*? La traduction proposée : statistiques significatives ne veut pas dire qu'il y a des *big numbers*

Thank you.
agree Daryo : yes, that's the point: unless your sample is large enough (= big numbers) your results are meaningless [of no statistical significance] ... OTOH you might need to reshuffle the whole sentence.

two regions have revealed a high occurrence of male breast cancer
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : "which has given us some strong conclusions about its pathology and biology." => it's about the statistical significance of the results, not the incidence or prevalence

English term (edited): put some big numbers on the disease

a chiffré la grande envergure de la maladie

To put numbers on sth = chiffrer quelque chose
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : that's not what this ST is saying - it might very well be a rare disease, or a very common one - the ST is about something else
