In the literature

Replication in multi-ethnic cohorts is needed to assess the broader relevance of these findings.Second, although we applied rigorous multiple testing correction and multiple approaches (PLACO, CPASSOC) to detect pleiotropy, marginally significant loci may still be influenced by population-specific LD structure, weak cross-trait effects, or LD contamination.Third, the reliance on publicly available summary statistics may introduce heterogeneity due to differences in data quality, study designs, and analysis pipelines.
Exceptions included ‘satisfaction with tasks’ where there was no significant difference between groups, and ‘level of extrinsic motivation’ where workers in the previous PBF group scored higher (marginally significant).
I have a few requests: 1) The authors should probably refrain from referring to "marginally significant" results as this is technically a violation of frequentist statistical approaches from most points of view, although this is an admittedly minor issue. 2) 2)More importantly, it would be useful for the authors to provide both confidence intervals on point estimates and effect size information.
Results The estimation results of ( Eq 1 ) for the three birth cohort groups (the older, middle and younger birth cohorts) summarized in Table 2 suggest a steepening of the SES-mortality gradient with an increase in the year of birth: There is no significant SES-mortality gradient for the older cohorts, a marginally significant gradient for the middle cohorts, and a significant and strong negative gradient for the younger cohorts.
