showed a trendP = 0.064so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Greater preoperative edema (higher CCT) showed a trend toward larger changes in astigmatism ( r = − 0.25, P = 0.064) and absolute astigmatism ( r = 0.26, P = 0.052) on ARKRT, although these associations did not reach statistical significance (Figs. 3 A, B).
