borderline significantno p-value reported

Response: We defined P <0.05 as significant (not P =0.05), but acknowledge your concerns about P =0.05 being borderline significant, which can occur with a small mean ±SD difference due to the large sample size, and low variability in LIMA length as mean (SD) decreases with increasing sample size and low variability in data, making even minor differences more detectable.
