Excerpts

Additionally, the association was borderline non-significant and the effect sizes were not dramatically altered from the main analysis, suggesting a loss of power may be responsible for these results.

Similar relationships between maternal 25OHD and IR in the children of underweight mothers were not observed, but a slight trend could be seen on graphical analysis ( Fig 3 ).

The association between testing HCV positive and being single was marginally significant, while the association with being sexually active was no longer significant.

With the inclusion of this control, the female dummy coefficient decreases slightly, as expected, but remains highly significant.

The ethnic affiliation does have a weakly significant effect, but given the dominance of Mossi in Ouagadougou and Bobo in Bobo-Dioulasso it is difficult to disentangle this effect from the location effect.

The average fructose intake was 4 mg/kg/day and the caloric intake did not differ between animals, but those drinking 10% fructose solution showed a trend towards lower consumption ( Table 2 ).

In the subgroup of low risk of bias studies (n = 4), effect sizes remained in favour of CB, were smaller and more precise, and were either approaching significance (n = 4) or significant (n = 1).

Marginally significant downward trends in statewide tornado frequency are noted for South Dakota and Ohio ( Fig 11 ).

The haplotype rs1800925T-rs20541G showed a trend to increase the risk of developing into late-stage S . japonicum compared to healthy controls No association was observed when comparing chronic cases with uninfected controls.

(2010) found a highly significant difference in the ability to produce mature seed between the fragrant and non-fragrant rice in the presence of salt [ 2 ].

Because the previously identified nsSNPs having moderately significant p -values showed an obvious impact on osteoporosis-related phenotypes [ 12 , 35 – 42 ], some of our discovered nsSNPs were anticipated to be meaningful genetic variants involved in osteoporosis etiology.

Accordingly, the effect of domestication status on constitutive BX levels was highly significant ( Table 1 ).

However, Spearman's rank correlation (rho = -0.36) showed marginal significance with a P-value of 0.02 for the H3K27ac dataset.

Especially the branched chain amino acids valine and leucine, 4-methyl-oxovaleric acid and PUFA-containing long chain TGs tend to show an increasing trend between the three groups, with significant differences between the G+/LVH+ and the control groups.

When comparing the three groups (one-way ANOVA), one of the lipid clusters reached significance level (LC3) while one lipid (LC5) and one metabolite (MC4) cluster were marginally significant ( Fig 1a ).

There was a near-significant interaction in Word reading between pre-post training and all the trained groups (except the CG), suggesting a possible generalized enhancement.

At 32 weeks GA, power shows a negative trend for rapid protocol alternations (around 16s) when the analysis was conducted using the adult HRF.

We found a highly significant negative effect of urban areas on mongoose expansion across the two first studied temporal ranges ( Table 2 ).

The mean effect was about half the size at 7.2 ± 1.4° (HCGV) and 12.8 ± 1.8° (HVGV) but remained highly significant with combined visual and inertial headings ( Fig 3E & 3K ).

While the ambiguity × aspect interaction did show a trend towards significance at lateral sites in the N400 time window, reflecting a numerically larger disambiguation effect for imperfective vs. perfective sentences, there was no hint of an ambiguity × aspect interaction at midline sites in the N400 window or in any analysis for the LPS window.

The J-shaped associations between BMI and the risks of all-cause and CVD mortality were still present among patients with elevated hsCRP concentration (≥3mg/L), while the association of BMI and mortality changed to a positive trend among patients with normal hsCRP concentration (<3mg/L).

However, they could show a positive trend towards spiral CT regarding artifacts and subjective “overall image quality”.

IR 5 method had a statistically highly significant better subjective image quality in all examined scoring category than the sequential CT (Wilcoxon sign-rank analysis—for details see Table 5 ).

Six-point UCDAI scores showed a trend toward improvement at 1 week (mean change 1.6) and 4 weeks (mean change 0.8) but the change was not statistically significant.

Although this established a highly significant connection of PrP to proteins whose levels changed in EMT, the direction of protein levels changes in cells which underwent EMT (dataset I) was not correlated to the protein level changes caused by stable PrP-deficiency in TGFB1 treated cells (dataset II) (Spearman correlation; ƿ = 0.419).
