Due to government regulations, the population return in densely populated and well-developed regions shows a positive trend.

Absolute counts of double negative B cells were significantly decreased while memory B cells also showed a trend towards reduced numbers.

The associated finds bore quite significant taphonomic alteration, which was heterogeneous both within and between the two ditches.

Line 35 and elsewhere - Rather than wording like “marginally insignificant”, it might be more clear to just say “showed x trend” or “tended to..” just to make the direction of the almost significant relationship more clear.

On the other hand, ZO-1 expression after iAsIII or MMAIII treatment showed a decreasing trend (Fig 4A, C).

How is your claim supported by your results with both CI and p-value showing lack of statistical significance? Response: We were interpreting a p-value of less than .05 as a trend toward significance but recognize this may not be standard practice.

As for age adjusted standardized annual incidence of MS, it remained quite stable among men between 2010 and 2014 (3.7–3.9/100,000) and slightly diminished only in 2015 (3.1/100,000), without showing a significant trend.

Additionally, loadings have highly significant coefficients on their corresponding latent group, which implies validity and reliability of the model.

In fact, I suspect the borderline significance of the 30 day findings would be lost (further supporting the authors’ assertions) using the correct but more stringent test. 4.

While not reaching full significance, these factors showed a notable trend towards influencing participants’ engagement in the project as citizen scientists.

Also, the SNP rs669676 showed a close to significance protective effect with the development of MM.

The F value of the model was 151.99, and the p value was less than 0.0001 (2.84×10 −7 ), indicating that the model was highly significant ( Table 3 ).

Moreover, the association is marginally significant also when we control for risk attitudes.

In addition, the analysis revealed that the younger age of the participants, a larger number of mobile applications, and the absence of accessibility problems were found to be marginally significant predictors of actual participation as citizen scientists.

Treatment means comparisons were made by Fisher’s protected least significant difference; P values were considered statistically significant at P ≤ 0.05, and those with P > 0.05 < 0.10 marginally significant, but the latter mentioned only when considered relevant.

• The text mentions the DCS and T cells are strongly increased at 50 microgram of poly IC, but there seems to be a nonsignificant trend only.

The authors observed a statistical trend towards worse survival for patients with higher SUV max of the primary tumor [ 36 ].

Univariate regression of patient-reported satisfaction with patients’ age as the independent variable revealed slightly significant association for patients aged 25–44 years, however this association was not significant after controlling for the effect of other variables on patient-reported satisfaction.

Men under 15 years old showed decreasing trends from 2006 to 2014, after which they showed an increasing trend until the end of the study period.

Tendency toward leprosy according to sex and age ( Fig 4 ) shows a decreasing trend for all age groups and sex, except for men younger than 15 years old and women aged 60 years old or over, reflecting specifically the AMPC by age and sex.

As a result, the soil BD (0–10 cm) under heavy and moderate grazing could have an increasing trend over the years.

MMP-2 expression increased significantly after ureteral obstruction at d7 and d14 in WT and Tlr2 -/- mice ( Fig 7D ), with a slightly increasing trend for Tlr2 -/- kidneys, but without significant differences between the two lines.

As expected, searches for “gun(s)” significantly increased the week after the mass shooting events, and “mental health” showed a strong trend toward increasing the following week, suggesting a heightened salience and interest in these subjects.

Although phenolics were not assessed past week 16 due to an emphasis on one infection at a time, by week sixteen a clear trend was observed whereby cell wall compounds such as hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives (HCAs) appeared to increase in all grapevines studied, regardless of genotype or infection status.
