showed a trendp = 0.0992.0× alpha
Association of serum BDNF level with AST/ALT ratio and FIB-4 index After adjusting for age, serum BDNF levels were significantly associated with the FIB-4 index (β = -6.439, 95% CI -11.067 to -1.810, p = 0.007) and showed a trend of association with the AST/ALT ratio (β = -4.554, 95% CI -9.990 to 0.882, p = 0.099) ( Table 3 , Model 1).

In this experiment, the pooled linear regression underestimated the variation of the effect (std err = 1.90) and brought to p -value to a borderline significant level ( p = 0.099 compared with p >0.5 for all other models, Table 3 ) The lower p -value obtained from the pooled regression may bias researchers towards thinking an association may exist, when the other models indicate clearly that there is none.
