Excerpts

This is likely reflected in the borderline level of statistical significance found for some analyses, particularly comparisons involving data from men, who comprised just slightly over one third of all individuals in the cohort.

Moreover, we observed a positive trend over the years.

Being overweight, obese, or a former, or current smoker was associated with an increase in the number of comorbidities; while healthy diet, physical activity (borderline significant) and moderate alcohol consumption were associated with decreased number of comorbidities.

The former (Pearson’s r = .45; p = .06) but not the latter ( p > .5) showed a trend for a correlation after Bonferroni correction and the strength of the two correlations differed significantly as determined by Steiger’s z ( z = 2.05; p < .05; see Fig 2B ).

In the case of flowers, the relationship only approached significance for groups S2 and L3 ( Table 3 ).

As shown in Fig 3 , The number of recommended collaborators has an obvious influence on the metrics with a clear trend.

However, pretracheal LN metastasis, multiple lateral neck metastasis, and revision surgery were highly associated with SMLN metastasis in our study, and these could be considered significant predictive factors of SMLN metastasis.

Cluster size correction is an alternative method to FDR control for multiple comparisons correction, though in the context of this study, where fine-grained mapping of highly significant regions is preferred to detection of larger area regions, we chose to employ FDR control.

QTL 1B_1 (likely QLr.cimmyt-1BS, Table 3 ) is highly effective (p.MLM = 3.77E-4, p.QGLM = 2.67E-7) against seedling race mixtures, but is not among the most significant ones for BLUE estimated coefficient of infection (COI) trait (Field.COI), despite a moderately significant p-value (p.MLM = 1.07E-3) ( Table 2 ).

The relationship between the CV in fawn counts and NDVI was only significant during the period surrounding parturition, with marginal significance extending this effect to May-August.

Interestingly, endocrine tumor studies were particularly characterized by female-only trials for ovarian or breast cancer, which indicates an increasing trend in the development of new ovarian and breast cancer treatments in 2010.

There has been an increasing trend in its incidence, which may be attributed to early diagnosis and a concurrent increase in screening and surveillance intensity.

With respect to main bile acid species, there was a highly significant and positive correlation between FGF-19 levels and total bile acids, free bile acids, primary bile acids, secondary bile acids, taurine-conjugated bile acids and glycine-conjugated bile acids.

However, a highly significant correlation was identified in a subsequent analysis when the total RNA level was correlated against the multiplicative interaction of two factors, the blood DNA level and the RNA content per WBC.

There was a statistical trend for females without young infants to groom with non-dominant males more than females with young infants did (with young infants: mean = 0.04%, SD = 0.15, n = 40 dyads; without young infants: mean = 0.22%, SD = 1.6, n = 66 dyads; S1E Table ).

The destabilizing effect of a mismatch is depending on the base pair type with a clear trend for the order of decreasing stability: G-C > A-T > G·G > G·T ≥ G· A > T·T ≥ A·A > T·C ≥ A· C ≥ C·C [ 33 ].

Second, although the highly significant association between HJURP and susceptibility to HCC is derived from a biologically based a priori hypothesis, our initial findings should be verified in other independent populations with large number of subjects.

They found a highly significant relationship between GGT and breast cancer risk with hazard ratios of >2 for quartiles three and four in comparison to quartile one in a multivariate model.

They found their hypothesis supported by the finding that a positive trend for an association between GGT and overall cancer incidence was observed in current drinkers, but not in ever drinkers.

Expression of CD32 on CD141 + DCs showed a decreasing trend already after 8 weeks, but this change did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.0651; S3 Fig ).

Consequently, we may expect that the extracted features in terms of the KLT coefficients will less accurately emphasize the presence of ischaemia, since ischaemic ST segment change shapes may be significant in one ECG lead, but less significant, or even absent, in the other ECG lead.

However, the association between the highest serum folate category and risk of cancer incidence only approached significance (HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.33–1.05).

We found a longer incubation period for the 173 fatal cases with a mean of 3.7 days (95% credibility interval, CrI: 3.4–4.1), compared to a mean of 3.3 days (95% CrI: 2.9–3.6) for the 222 non-fatal cases, and the difference in means was marginally significant at 0.47 days (95% CrI: -0.04, 0.99).

And, while the instrumental variable analysis of [ 5 ] found evidence of selection bias in open access, they still estimated a statistically and practically significant citation advantage even after controlling for that bias.

In contrast, spathulenol (oxygenated sesquiterpene) presented an increasing trend during the dry season at 6:00 am and during the wet season at 5:00 pm ( Table 1 ).
