It is likely that the difference would have been greater and possibly significant had more samples been available.

The sentences
The OD of the lower ERG1 protein band is 27.2% greater in the abnormal tissue than in the normal tissue; however, the p -value ( p < 0.1) does not indicate statistical significance for this difference; nonetheless, it is still a low p -value and could be considered to be “approaching significance” ( Figure 4 A,C).
Thus, because the upper band is statistically more abundant in the cancer patients than in the healthy ones and the difference in the lower band ODs is close to significance, we conclude that the increased ERG1 protein abundance in the muscle of cancer patients is important.
