Excerpts

The incidence of chronic diseases showed a trend in younger persons, especially among the middle-aged in urban areas.

One marmoset (A#32829), with severe parkinsonism showed a significant increase in LA at 1-month post MPTP while the other 2 animals showed a trend towards increase in LA.

In this study, ascorbic acid showed an increasing trend up to 2.4 dS m -1 , but did not significantly increase over this EC level.

All resulting models were highly significant (all ps <0.001).

Analysis of plasma lipidomes have identified previously undetectable, highly significant differences in lipid species and classes between HIV positive and negative participants as well as between individuals with and without coronary artery disease (CAD) [ 8 ].

The Wald chi-square values are highly significant, confirming that our models fit the data significantly better than a null model (we also use the number of renewed patents of an inventor as dependent variable instead of the ratio in our analysis and the results were the same.

The productivity of coots showed a decreasing trend with later breeding dates; however, this trend was significantly supported in only the Longfeng wetland.

The result of the model in the second column of Table 5 shows that the voting rule had a positive and highly significant effect on the contribution rate before receipt of payout ( β 0 ) and that the punishment rule had a negative but insignificant effect on β 0 .

Critically, even given the small sample size, we were able to detect a large and highly significant difference between tube tasks (dependent on task order).

Interestingly, only performance on the “beliefs about ability” tasks (IRAT and IRAPM) was related to an independent measure of grit, although this relationship fell just short of significance.

Group differences were marginally significant for reasoning.

Interestingly, further analysis indicated that the highly significant correlation between VRK1 overexpression and poor clinical outcome was only seen for ER+, and not ER- tumors.

The HBV-DNA levels displayed a decreasing trend as necroinflammation became serious while similar trends of declined HBV-DNA levels were observed as fibrosis progressed.

Because only published and nominally significant values are considered, this makes effect estimates arguably insensitive to non-retrievable unpublished (and therefore likely non-significant) results and makes it possible to assess more insidious forms of dissemination bias such as p -hacking (e.g., repeated calculation of significance statistics in primary studies by means of different methods or inclusion of different a posteriori-selected covariates, until nominal significance is achieved).

Highly significant differences were obtained between pooled SMA or pooled HET and WT at P10 and P21 but also between pooled SMA and pooled HET, clearly allowing discrimination of all three groups ( Fig 2B and S5 Table ).

A trend toward significance was also observed for a lower proportion of patients with moderate to marked hyperemia (Power Doppler grade 2 and 3) upon rituximab (5/32, 15.6% vs. 15/44, 34.1%, P = 0.072).

Results We found lower HIV/STI incidence density in the intervention relative to the control group in 5 sites we labeled as “program effective sites,” but not in 8 sites we labeled as “program ineffective sites.” Using generalized estimating equations controlling for site and computed mean difference effect sizes, we examined statistically and practically significant differences, respectively, between the two groups of sites along various client-, provider-, organization-, and structure-related characteristics.

Our results show that from the variables associated with hearing loss and CI use, the only highly significant predictor of high self-esteem was a high level of satisfaction with their CI.

There was a slight trend towards smoking history in the crude analysis, but it was not significant in the adjusted analysis (OR = 1.23; 95%CI: 0.61–2.49).

However, latency becomes shorter during childhood and adolescence, while in adulthood it is relatively stable with a slight trend to increase in the elderly.

Of the 32% who selected an incorrect response regarding their understanding of the term “1 in 5 people...”, almost a quarter of respondents (22%) perceived that the risk meant a 5% rather than 20% risk, indicating that misunderstandings may be significant in some cases.

We observed a decreasing trend in the age-standardized prevalence of polypharmacy, from 65.8% in 2002 to 43.7% in 2013.

The threshold above which the degree of correlation between genes in L 0 and L path could be considered significant and a gene in L 0 classified as pathway/network associated gene was determined based on a resampling-based method as follows.

For the two AMPS-2 nominally significant results the R 2 values of approximately 10%, suggesting that these PRSs could potentially be useful clinically.

In previous studies, however, the average difference between male- and female-emitted signals was less than 5 kHz and differences were described as marginally significant.
