Excerpts

Because the distinction between RP, NP, and SP was determined based on progressive CD4 changes, individual CD4 slopes were dispersed in a continuum distribution where the difference between adjacent groups would not be significant but there would be an expected trend that produces significant differences between the extreme groups (RPs and SPs).

The same test was also conducted to test the proportions of significant probe sets that are from the same gene across the three categories (P/P, P/A, A/A), and the result was also extremely highly significant (with p values less than 2.2×10 −16 ).

However, in the dorsal blade and in contrast to the P(Ser10)-Ac(Lys14)-H3 data, this enhanced response was not as apparent because the difference between the stressed control and stressed exercised animals only showed a trend ( Fig. 4E ).

It can be seen that there is a clear trend of increasing MSE and astigmatism (both mean and median) with an increase in each of the four study variables.

It is clear that for any birth weight group, the MSE across the gestation groups are not very different as compared to an increasing trend of values across weight groups for any gestation group, suggesting that birth weight has a more important role than gestation.

Although we observed that each net could fold into a well-formed polyhedron, a clear trend emerged for the number of defects in the assembly among the different nets.

Using the default setting, BEST identified 28 target genes; 27 of them (96%) were in the RegulonDB target set (highly significant for enrichment with p-value of 1.27×10 −6 ).

Although these associations have highly significant p-values, the effect size of each SNP is small and most of the loci contributing to variation in height still remain unidentified.

It is highly significant to this study that nutritional status has also been shown to modify immune outcome in humans by preferentially altering the differentiation of CD4 + naive T helper (Th) 0 [21] .

Table 4 shows the final model, which includes all variables that were significantly or with borderline significance (days of CPAP) associated with any of the main outcome parameters in multivariable analysis.

Based primarily on data from small studies, the meta-analyses found reductions in 30-day all-cause postoperative mortality (odds ratio [OR] 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54–0.90), deep vein thrombosis (OR 0.56; 95% CI 0.43–0.72), pulmonary embolism (OR 0.45; 95% CI 0.29–0.69), pneumonia (OR 0.61; 95% CI 0.48–0.76), and respiratory depression (OR 0.41; 95% 0.23–0.73) and showed a trend toward reduced postoperative myocardial infarction with the use of neuraxial blockade (OR 0.67; 95% CI 0.45–1.00) [16] .

We also demonstrate a significant trend for those residues that are annotated as participating directly in a protein's catalytic activity to coevolve with each other.

Although the difference in life-expectancies between carriers and non-carriers for females and males separately was only marginally significant at the 0.05 α -level, a test of association for the difference combining males and females based on Fisher's sum of chi-square statistics was significant with a p-value of 0.024.

There is also weak, however statistically highly significant, correlation between differences in the three physico-chemical properties on the one hand and the mean codon distance on the other hand.

In a stable population the population growth rate is equal to 1 while lower values indicate a decreasing trend.

less than 0.93, rat eradication is not sufficient to reverse a negative trend of the population growth rate.

IGFBP3 SNP rs6670 (A allele) was not directly associated with IGFBP-3 levels but was weakly associated with a decreasing trend in circulating IGF-1 levels [36] .

Our analysis of VEGF revealed only one nominally significant SNP in the promoter region (rs833058; Supplemental Table S1 ) which is correlated with rs699947 (r 2 = 0.65).

This cluster was only marginally significant after correcting for multiple comparisons (t 33 = 3.54, p FWE = .083) ( Figure 2 ).

Correlation with survival for these patients with high levels of miR-199b expression showed a positive trend to better overall survival than for the low-expressing patients.

A test was deemed significant if the p-value was <.01, and marginally significant if the p-value was <.05 but >.01.

However, the replication of our data in two independent sets of populations suggests that these associations might be significant.

The estimated total number of newly generated neurons of ARA(+) diet-treated rats examined at P37 showed a trend of increase, although statistically not significant, compared to those from the control diet-treated rats.

Non-invasive 1 H-MRS revealed that, even in regular diet groups, ATZ treatment increased intramuscular and intrahepatic fat accumulation, with borderline significance after adjusting for body weight ( Fig. 1F and 1G ).

ARMs showed a trend toward an opposite Ear of Delivery×Hemisphere interaction from that seen for sensory responses: ARMs tended to be larger over the hemisphere ipsilateral to the stimulated ear than over the contralateral hemisphere (F (2,16) = 4.00, p<0.09).
