Excerpts

In North America, abruption rates increased in Canada while the rate in the US fluctuated over time, but overall there was an increasing trend over time also in the US.

Unexpectedly, the frequency of induced IL-10 + B cells correlated positively with FT 3 and FT 4 levels (the latter borderline significance), within the GD patients.

Furthermore, when we investigated the combination of KLC3 Lys751 and XRCC3 Thr241 alleles, a highly significant association with smoking was observed in the subjects carrying three or more risk alleles.

Similarly, the quartile estimates of EC a show a decreasing trend from 2009 to 2011.

In spite of these limitations, we still observed a statistical trend, which suggested that vertebroplasty was more effective than sham treatment.

Relationship between lesion length and latency delay There was a highly significant correlation between lesion length asymmetry and mfVEP latency asymmetry at 1 month ( r = 0.94, p = <0.0001, adjusted for age and sex) ( Fig 2A ) that remained significant at 12 months (correlation at 12 months: r = 0.75, p < 0.001) ( Fig 2B ).

A highly significant quadratic model was developed to investigate MG decolorization with LacA, and the maximum MG decolorization ratio of 91.6% was predicted under the conditions of 2.8 U mL -1 LacA, 109.9 mg L -1 MG and decolorization for 172.4 min.

The derived alleles based on sequence alignments and θ 2 showed substantial trends in GC-biased gene conversion; whereas the derived alleles based on θ 1 showed only a slight trend.

Interstate parasite stress significantly predicted two, with a marginally significant effect on the third, but the effects became non-significant when the analyses were stratified for race (as a control for extrinsic risks).

The authors observed highly significant sequence effects: subjects randomized to receive placebo at their first session (naloxone administered at the second and third sessions) demonstrated a higher difference in pain scores compared to the naloxone sessions, than when placebo was administered at the third session (naloxone administered at the at the first and second sessions).

In fact, only MIR-SWI guarantees a positive trend in CNR in every vein within the considered range of n values.

Of interest is the fact that we observed a trend toward significance for two SNPs in the HSD17B12 gene, namely rs10838184 and rs11037575 ( Fig 1 , Table 3 ).

When paired with different female partners, repeatability estimates for egg mass in males were markedly lower, albeit still highly significant ( Table 1 ).

When the samples were grouped on the basis of dietary habits, the PLS-DA models showed a trend of differentiation according to the geographical origin of the samples in the omnivore and vegan subjects (at least for Bari, Parma and Bologna), while the samples from Torino were only clearly separated in the case of the ovo-lacto-vegetarian population ( Fig 5 ).

Gene-level association analysis revealed one gene, PRKDC , with a marginally significant association with SGC risk in non-Hispanic whites.

The gene-level association analysis revealed a borderline significant gene, PRKDC .

All population analysis showed a favorable trend for the addition of angiogenesis inhibitors to the present standard second-line chemotherapy.

Along the same line, ‘Unfolded Protein Response’ (UPR) showed a trend for enrichment ( Fig 3A ).

Comparing the percentage reduction of non-diabetic versus STZ-diabetic HDAd-LDLR treated mice revealed a significant impairment of the regression of CD68+ cells in STZ-diabetic mice; in non-diabetic mice CD68+ cells decreased by 77% versus a 57% decrease in STZ-diabetic mice (p<0.01) The percentage difference in plaque size regression between non-diabetic and STZ-diabetic mice also showed a trend to decrease less in the latter (36% vs. 51%, respectively).

An increasing trend in remnant pancreas tissue weight has been observed in Swertisin treated animals on 3 rd day, notifying regeneration of small fraction of new pancreas, although it is not statistically significant compared to control animals (Figure B in S2 Fig ).

Although this finding should be interpreted with caution—the effects were only marginally significant and based on a relatively small number of groups—we believe that it provides a potential direction for future research.

Controls and Model Comparison The results of these analyses do not change substantially when controlling for income disparity (GINI) and cultural individualism (see S4 , S5 , S6 , S7 , S8 , S9 , S10 and S11 Tables; one exception is happiness, which was only marginally significant with the controls added, see S3 Table ).

(2) "Almost significant" values will be most likely to be reported directly (3) Values below the threshold will be least likely to be reported directly .

Nor can we tell between manipulation checks (that tend to be highly significant) and treatment effects.

The lack of a significant trend in the proportion of positive fecal samples during 2013–2014 may be due to small sample sizes during January and March.
