英文摘要	Muff et al. [1] suggest that ‘when each paper only contributes a piece of evidence in the cumulative process of creating knowledge,’ practical decision makers should act on this cumulative knowledge rather than on single studies. But sadly, cumulative knowledge has a huge gap: ‘statistically nonsignificant’ results, arising from a point estimate near the null or a wide interval estimate, are underrepresented in the published literature [2]. Muff et al.’s [1] proposal to rewrite results sections in the language of evidence may help to bridge this gap by allowing authors to interpret their P values as graded measures of evidence about a certain finding or effect, so that also results with larger P values could be described as providing ‘weak’ or ‘little’ evidence rather than as being merely ‘statistically nonsignificant.’ We agree that this would be a step forward and that a call to describe evidence provided by P values across a range of magnitudes could help bring more of the larger P values into the published literature.
