Excerpts

The highest Asc level in sycamore cotyledons was observed at the dry seed stage, and a decreasing trend was detected up to the germinated stage.

In addition, it is generally considered to be biologically informative to evaluate terms, especially when they are “nearly significant”.

In our study, even though we found a marginally statistically significant association between prophylactic anticoagulation and mortality, our analyses were not designed to ask this question but instead looking at interventions affecting overall inflammation associated with death.

The cervical volume does not have a clear trend of increase or decrease in volume when looking at all patients and configurations ( Fig 9 ).

Nevertheless, it is possible to see a clear trend with respect to the ratios of the dye substances in each species [ 27 , 35 , 58 , 61 , 84 , 91 , 93 ], that helps to identify the species of the murex used in the dyeing of the archaeological textiles with a high level of certainty.

This is very much in keeping with the weight of reviewer opinion in our experience, wherein we have regularly seen authors chastised by reviewers for describing effects with p = .07 or p = .08 as ‘approaching significance’ or ‘marginally significant’.

While this is an important trend relating to the objective of this study; the reliability of this difference is unclear because its statistical power was weak.

The inappropriate use of antibiotics in human has been suggested as the cause of this alarming prevalence in the community, however, clearly significant associations between the presence of ESBL-E and antibiotic use is missing [ 21 , 22 ].

Unlike the tests reported previously, this test yields somewhat significant ( α = 0.068) results in relation to two periods for all questions corresponding to the subcomponents of the CRR hypothesis.

A mixed effects model must be employed to better appreciate the differences between the groups, taking into account possible individual-specific confounders and a possible trend/growth effect.

Following the glucose challenge, the three highest doses of both drugs significantly increased glucose intolerance, with a strong trend for the 0.5 mg/kg dose of risperidone to do so, but not with the equivalent dose of paliperidone.

Apart from the works by Andersson and Britton [ 5 ], scarcely significant mathematical contributions were made in this direction until Nåsell [ 6 ] reformulated CCS for Bartlett’s Susceptible-Infected (SI) model using quasi stationarity under more realistic assumptions.

Fig 3(a) is an example of a decreasing trend in the post-intervention time, displaying a negative impact after the appearance of El Niño.

It showed a decreasing trend as the solute radius increased, with absorption of 5.8% for 1 nm solute and 3.2% for 110 nm solute.

However, the pandemic-related restrictions over time were also associated with the SDNN (p = 0.008), showing a decreasing trend of the SDNN during the weeks during the restrictions.

In further analyses, we explored whether inadequate power was responsible for the finding that incident mobility disability showed a trend for an association with death.

Gemcitabine, Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, Avastin etc.) and other treatment modalities such as radiation, radionuclide therapy and immunotherapy may be significant contribution to cancer research.

As the urine cotinine level increased from Q1 to Q4, the urine microalbumin level did not show an increasing trend (P for trend = 0.35).

When controlling for the modifying variables which were statistically significant at the 5% level in the univariable model (age, knowledge, perceived barriers and self-efficacy scores), the multivariable logistic regression showed that independent factors associated with Pap smear uptake were age, perceived severity score and perceived barriers score, while knowledge score was marginally significant.

Flow cytometric analysis on day 7 demonstrated that V-iTregs as well as C-iTregs showed a trend toward suppressing allograft infiltration of CD45 + leukocytes, CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, and F4/80 + macrophages compared with that of the control group without iTreg transfer, albeit without statistical significance ( Fig 4C ).

Finally, a small trend for a higher correlation between STST and 6MWT performance in children ≤ 10 years of age, compared to older children (> 10 years of age) was observed in this study (r = 0.54 vs r = 0.43, respectively).

Habitat type and FI, as well as the interaction between them, were highly significant predictors of AGB, dead biomass, absolute biomass change over time, and Fisher’s alpha diversity index ( Table 3 ).

We agree that the is a strong trend in our study in young NAION patients with Tobacco consumption, and although it did not reach statistical significance this may have been due to relatively low sample size.

A significant trend toward improved long-term survival was observed in women and not in men.

These features are highly significant in identifying the more acceptable changes in triangle property during emotional facial expressions than other statistical features [ 31 , 32 ].
