Excerpts

When analyses were re-run by reviewers of this article using different statistical approaches (Chi-squared, Fischer's exact) some comparisons showed only borderline significance.

In addition, bFGF demonstrated a dosage dependent inhibitory effect on freezing/thawing recovery across all cell lines, which was reflected by the statistically significant differences observed between different bFGF culture conditions within each accutased group, as well as an overall trend of decline in the number of colonies recovered from freezing/thawing in response to increased bFGF concentration in culture media within each collagenased group ( Figure 9 and Figure S2 ).

In addition, p-values ≤ 0.07 defined a statistical trend worthy of future study.

non-user) remains a highly significant predictor of non-adherence [ 48 ].

Closer inspection of the data revealed an interesting trend.

Values of the three indices of insulin sensitivity highlight for each studied subject a decreasing trend from the first to the second phase of the experimental procedure and an increasing trend from the second to the third phase, suggesting an intraday variability of the insulin sensitivity.

In this study, TK exhibited an increasing trend of kyphosis.

The results, shown in Table 3 , reveal an interesting trend.

temperature regressions showed a negative trend below the median TP′ of 9 μg P L −1 and a positive one above this value ( Fig. 2A vs. 2C, Table 5 ).

The values of baseline DHI showed moderate disability, which is a positive trend [ 22 ].

The mean cross-sectional area of the untreated het triceps myofibers was 43.9% smaller than the normal control myofibers, which was highly significant.

In step 2, we found a significant trend of friends' and sibling smoking on adolescent smoking.

In our study, by simply focusing on the recurrence of clinical mastitis, the mastitis-susceptible group was more homogeneous, allowing us to identify variants with lower p-values (highly significant).

A Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed to assess whether the chondrocytes showed a significant trend in response to each GDF5 and to TGF-β1.

However, a notable trend emerged: urinary retention occurred in two caudal patients (13.3%) and none in the SMPB group.

When the BPA concentration was increased to 50μM and 100μM, cell viability decreased further, with highly significant differences.

Level of education was associated with incident ischemic stroke, and a significant trend for association also with incident CAD and CVD-mortality could be observed across education categories.

Treatment with both amines alone reduced Nile Red fluorescence and showed a trend to further reduction when in combination although not significantly ( Figure S1 C ).

Specifically, N170 amplitude to names was higher in the left hemisphere than in the right one and to faces higher in right than in the left one, however the second effect was only marginally significant.

Those differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.14), but a significant trend was detected in our secondary endpoint analysis, when the sample was divided into four different age subgroups (≤45 years, 46–60 years, 61–79 years and >91 years, p = 0.03) ( Table 4 and Supplementary Table S5 in File S1 ).

EPAS1 knockdown was associated with a significant reduction in CDC25C and CCNB1 protein levels, with CDK1 exhibiting a decreasing trend that did not reach statistical significance.

When using ice as a haul-out platform, the association between haul-out behaviour and tide decreased, although a slight trend persisted.

The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Regional PM2.5 concentration shows a decreasing trend with a stable spatial pattern (continuously decreasing from 60.77 μg/m 3 to 29.52 μg/m 3 , with reductions ranging from 29.55% to 40.61% across individual cities).

Similarly, when genes were tested individually for their correlation with nicotine SA, none of the nominally significant genes passed a genome wide correction for p values.

In the full model, the effect of location (eastings and northings) was not significant, but increasing the number of mines had a weakly significant negative effect on parasitism ( Table 4 ; Fig.
