The sentences

borderline significanceP = .06so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

In another study, number of PSMs carried only borderline significance when ≥3 foci were positive compared to one ( P = .06) and not significant for 2 foci compared to one [ 50 ].

fell short of significanceP = .076so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

[ 53 ] found a PSM length >3 mm to be a significant outcome predictor by univariate analysis but it fell short of significance by multivariate analysis ( P = .076) [ 53 ].

a nonsignificant trendP = .09so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

In the study that found the open approach better, the result was confounded by nerve sparing, so robotic prostatectomies showed a nonsignificant trend toward lower PSM for a non-nerve-sparing approach ( P = .09) [ 10 ].
