A clinical researcher evaluates a drug's efficacy using a Wald-type interval for the log-odds ratio β\betaβ. They find β^=0.5\hat{\beta} = 0.5β^​=0.5 with a standard error SE=0.3SE = 0.3SE=0.3. If the researcher uses the Wald interval β^±z0.025SE\hat{\beta} \pm z_{0.025} SEβ^​±z0.025​SE, why is this approach potentially flawed when the sample size nnn is small?
