Those effect sizes are quite small. If be surprised if they were statistically significant.

Haven't done the math, but about an 8 percentage point difference and a sample size of 1000, that seems significant to me

It’s significant (and the 95% CI indicates it is reasonably so), but this is a post hoc analysis of an outcome they already ‘knew’, in a trial that already had many outcomes, making this result at pretty high risk of being a chance false positive. This is probably why they don’t give actual p values - the findings are hypothesis generating, not confirmatory.

That sounds reasonable indeed. Interesting result though, the future will tell us more.

Rounded off.
A: 579/1000
B: 656/1000
p=0.0002
Like the other comment said, remember it's post hoc.
