almost reached statistical significanceP =0.08so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Serum levels of CRP and the NLR showed higher values in the CVD group, differences that almost reached statistical significance ( P =0.08 and P =0.10, respectively).

showed a trendP =0.19not close (p > 0.1)

Both parameters were higher in the CVD group, although only the differences for CRP reached statistical significance ( P <0.0001), while the mean NLR showed a trend ( P =0.19) ( Table 1 ).

did not reach statistical significanceno p-value reported

A further limitation is that we employed a relatively small sample size that could make that some of our results did not reach statistical significance and, consequently, the ability to describe the association between some variables might be limited.
