Table 4 Table of example for the transformation of Beta-Values to M-values and the differences, respectively. The Beta-value difference between the Placebo group and the Treatments group is constant at 10%. Due to the transformation, the M-values differ and the differences in M-values can not be mapped to the differences in Beta-values
