Another consequence of low sample numbers is that, unlike some published studies with larger patient groups, the NMR metabolites were not significantly different between the mild and moderately severe groups, with only lipid CH 3 approaching significance with a reduction in the moderately severe group ( P = 0.06) compared to the mild group.

approached significanceP = 0.06so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

A reduction in NMR measured plasma relative lipid-CH3 levels approached significance (median [IQR]) (0.081 [0.011] vs. 0.073 [0.024], P = 0.06).
