Results of the overview of reported statistical methods and their interpretations. The distribution of the number of articles by statistical methods and specific words used to interpret their estimates are within the brackets. The interpretation of the odds ratio (OR) and prevalence ratio (PR) was assumed as inappropriate when it was interpreted using words as “risk,” “(more/less) likely,” “probability,” or “likelihood” of the event and was assumed as appropriate when it was interpreted as the ratio between odds for the OR or prevalence for the PR.
