This is an imported word from Azeri into Farsi, which is ; Saymakh
The word "Sayasan" is actually an Azeri term from the Saymakh ســایماخ which means counting. Sayasan سایاسان means ...count which is actually used in a sentence like ; agar san sayasan.....if you should count....
so the saysan in this context means, the value and the count of .....
so the saysan in this context means, the value and the count of .....
Example sentence:
agar san sayasan.....if you should count....

Comment: "Thanks for the explanation. It seems strange though that someone would use such a word in a medical study. It wasn't recognized by any of the Iranian ProZ members. Everyone who responded did agree that the meaning was clearly "count/number/amount"."

Thanks for pointing that out.
I think, regarding the meaning of 'sayasan' I must have jumped into conclusion a bit quickly,
however I still think my suggestion offers reasonably acceptable meaning to the sentence:
حجم نمونه با اطمینان 95 درصد و خطای نوع اول 0/05 سایاسان مصرف
آنتی اکسیدان ها حدود 200 مورد در هر گروه درمان و کنترل
بود
in the sample, with %95 confidence and 0.05 type one error, 200 prticipants in each control and treatment group, connsumed Anti Occidan.

Note from asker:
| Your reference is the very same one I mentioned. Can you offer any links to other research? When I Googled it, the very same study was the only hit that was found in Persian. I have checked every Persian dictionary I can and it doesn't seem to exist. |
