▪ The difference approached significance ( p = 0.049).
▪ The difference approached significance ( p = 0.049).
While differences were observable, they did not reach statistical significance ( p > 0.05) ( Figure 6 ). 3.5.
The near-significant p -value indicates a potential trend that may reach significance with a larger sample size or improved control of variability.
