Also, while no significant improvement was observed in the average power developed during the test, a trend towards significance was noted ( p = 0.08) [ 55 ].

The SMD in BMI and waist circumference reduction was not associated with statistical significance but approached borderline significance in favor of the ketogenic diet groups: p = 0.08 and p = 0.09, respectively ( Figure 4 ). 3.5.

In addition, there was a tendency towards significance in serine ( p = 0.08) and hydroxyproline ( p = 0.06), which indicates that these amino acids may be higher and lower in the WG group, respectively.

This was true, too, among participants with both asthma/COPD and vitamin D-deficiency, despite the effect being large (109 mL) and borderline significant ( p = 0.08).

The rate of saliva production decreased over time ( p = 0.02) and was almost significantly different between the trials ( p = 0.08), with a significant interaction found between trial and time ( p = 0.04).

The median (Q1–Q3) CoMiSS value showed a trend towards being higher, with more prevalent loose stools in breast- than in formula-fed infants (4.0 (2–7) vs. 3.0 (1–4), respectively; p = 0.08); however, the difference was not significant.

Significant reduction of mRNA expression for the adiponectin receptor, ADIPOR1 , observed in our study after two weeks of supplementation, was accompanied by a borderline significant decrease in ADIPOR2 ( p = 0.08).

Comparison of the two groups showed a trend for lower left DS after 16 weeks in the 85 g group relative to the 250 g group (severity scores for 85 g: 5339 ± 3153 vs. 250 g: 8105 ± 1840, p = 0.08).

The interaction between duration and sex was marginally significant ( p = 0.08), with a positive association in males (β = 5.5; p = 0.02) but not in females (β = 0.9; p = 0.41).

These differences showed a statistical trend ( p = 0.08) ( Figure 1 B).

However, the mid versus low tertile association was borderline significant ( p = 0.08), with a 39% lower risk (HR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.34, 1.07).

There were no significant changes in PTH from baseline over the two years ( p = 0.08), but a clear trend of an increase over time ( p = 0.08).

Cardiac specialty was a significant predictor (OR = 6.85; 95% CI: 2.06–22.78; p = 0.001), NECPAL stage III ( p = 0.013), PPS < 50 ( p = 0.001), low Barthel Index ( p = 0.007), nutritional follow-up (OR = 3.91; 95% CI: 1.29–11.86; p = 0.022), protein supplementation showed a trend toward statistical significance (OR = 2.55 (0.93–6.96); p = 0.080.

In the PCS score from the SF-36, the Time × Variant interaction showed a trend towards significance ( p = 0.08).

Compared to non-treated immobilized mice, in the limb muscle of the recovery animals, CSA of type II fibers almost significantly increased ( p = 0.081, Table 2 and Figure 2 ).

Analyzing the results by sex, male SI showed a negative trend in association with thigh skinfold ( p = 0.081) and a positive trend with thigh perimeter ( p = 0.060).

In terms of Satiety Responsiveness, the improvement effect of the BCTP was near-significant compared to this dimension in the control group, with an LSM.D of −0.664 (95% CI: −1.47 to 0.14, p = 0.081).

SR and Emotional Undereating (EU) showed protective trends near significance ( p = 0.081 and p = 0.082, respectively).

SR and EU displayed near-significant protective trends ( p = 0.081 and p = 0.082, respectively).

In addition, peptide B7 showed a trend to decrease the secretion of pro-inflammatory IFN-γ ( p = 0.081) and increase chemoattractant CCL-2 ( p = 0.076), while peptide B12 displayed a trend to increase the secretion of IL-23 ( p = 0.125).

A nonsignificant trend was observed in children with normal weight, with lower pre-bed fasting times than those with overweight/obesity ( p = 0.081).

However, the interaction effect between age and sex was not statistically significant but tended toward significance ( p = 0.081).

For the lipid profile ( Figure 2 E–H), the C-WD mice presented an increasing trend in total cholesterol ( p = 0.0819), HDL cholesterol ( p = 0.0582), and LDL cholesterol ( p = 0.0705) levels in comparison with those of the SD mice, while I-WD mice presented a significant increase in total cholesterol ( p = 0.0339), HDL cholesterol ( p = 0.0192), and LDL cholesterol ( p = 0.0456) levels.

In our study, we did find a nearly significant correlation between the age of the volunteers and IL-6 levels ( p = 0.082).

Only PPT1 (β = 1.42; 95% CI −0.19 to 3.02; p = 0.082) and PPT2 (β = 1.34; 95% CI −0.19 to 2.88; p = 0.082) showed a trend toward a sequence effect, suggesting a minor, non-significant influence of treatment order on the outcome (β = 1.34; 95% CI −0.19 to 2.88; p = 0.082).
