Q8 - What was the precision of the estimates of treatment effect?
All estimates are just that, estimates, and thus they will have some degree of uncertainty about them. The less uncertainty there is about an estimate due to chance variability, the more precise the estimate is said to be.
To answer this question look at the confidence interval (or P value) for each estimate of treatment effect.
