The sentences

an unexpected trendp = 0.016actually significant
In CMS4, aflibercept was associated with an unexpected trend toward poorer OS (median OS: 13.7 vs. 23 months, HR 2.38, 95% CI 1.15 – 4.89, p = 0.016, q = 0.128), and shorter PFS (median PFS: 5.7 vs. 7.9 months, HR 1.48, 95%CI 0.77 – 2.85, p = 0.230).

nominally significantp = 0.025actually significant
Among iCMS2 tumours, aflibercept was associated with numerically improved outcomes without reaching statistical significance, whereas iCMS3 tumours exhibited a nominally significant PFS benefit (HR 0.66, p = 0.025), but this did not withstand FDR correction ( q = 0.100) and was not accompanied by an OS benefit.

showed a trendp = 0.039actually significant
CMS1 group showed a trend towards PFS benefit from aflibercept (median PFS: 6.6 vs. 3.0 months; HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.39–0.98, p = 0.039, q = 0.156), though OS improvement was modest (median OS: 10.7 vs. 7.4 months; HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.57–1.36, p = 0.564).

PFS increased from 6.8 to 9.3 months but did not reach statistical significance (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.42–1.20, p = 0.202) (Fig. 5e, f ).

2.9 months; HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.45–0.95, p = 0.025, q = 0.100), which approached but did not reach significance after correction for multiple testing, while OS did not show a clear improvement (median OS 9.2 vs. 8.5, HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.63–1.29, p = 0.564) (Fig. 5a, b ).
