borderline significantP = .052so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

A borderline significant temporal trend was observed within the autologous blood group (Kruskal Wallis P = .052), whereas no significant changes over time were detected in the talc group ( P = .228).

Fibrosis scores, however, showed a significant reduction at day 30 in the ibuprofen group (1.75 vs 2.75, P = .024) ( Figure 4 ), and a near-significant reduction at day 15 (1.37 vs 2.37, P = .063).

Fibrosis was significantly lower in the talc + ibuprofen group at day 15 (1.12 vs 2.50, P < .008), while the difference at day 30 approached significance (2.00 vs 3.00, P = .076).
