The sentences

a positive trendp = 0.05actually significant
Exclusion of these outliers resulted in a loss of statistical significance, although a positive trend remained between PEG3 methylation and HDL cholesterol (p = 0.05).

trend toward significancep = 0.07so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)
A similar trend toward significance was observed for this gene between the controls and all metabolic patients (i.e. the MetS and T2D patients) (p = 0.07).

nominally significantno p-value reported
Arner et al did not observe significant differentially methylated loci between those individuals identified with and without insulin resistance, although some loci were nominally significant[ 46 ].

Results Differential DNA methylation between patient groups Differences in DNA methylation levels between the three subgroups were small and did not reach statistical significance for any of the genes, although a trend towards significance was observed for the PEG3 gene (p = 0.07) ( Fig 1 and Table 2 ).
