The sentences

highly significantP < 0.001actually significant

The ablation mode and impedance level demonstrated a significant interaction, which differentially affected the lesion parameters: highly significant for maximum depth and mean volume ( P < 0.001), significant for superficial diameter (P < 0.05), and non-significant for maximum diameter (P = 0.587).

marginally significantp = 0.076so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

For lesion volume, the interaction was marginally significant (F2,5.980 = 4.085, p = 0.076), while for maximum diameter, no significant interaction was observed ( p = 0.589).Given the significant interaction effects observed for superficial diameter, depth, and volume, simple effects analyses were performed.

Although the mean lesion volume was larger in the PC group, this difference did not reach statistical significance (74.08±30.02 mm3 vs. 65.98±21.99 mm3, p =0.097).
