Select… Yes No, stop here

Note: ICEMAN was developed to assess the credibility of a suggested effect modification (interaction p ≤ 0.1). It does not apply when there is no suggestion of effect modification. Assessing the credibility of an absence of effect modification requires a different approach not covered by ICEMAN. See user manual for scope of ICEMAN →
