Excerpts

In the primary tumors with MET overexpression, negative conversion showed a trend of better OS than no conversion, but it did not reach statistical significance ( P = .132).

Although frequencies of tandem repeats of Glu, Pro and Leu showed an increasing trend in more complex organisms, the frequency increases were much smaller (Leu repeat, <2 fold in human over E. coli ) or inconsistent (Glu repeats), compared to those of Pro repeats ( Fig. 5C ).

The H&E staining results showed that 16.5% of the lymph nodes were positive for tumour cells, which represented a highly significant difference.

Article type was only marginally significant, with intersection articles being more likely than specialized psychology or education articles in both separate domain networks to receive new contributions.

The increasing burden of T2D and major depressive disorder makes the search for an extended understanding of etiology and for the development of additional treatments highly significant.

albicaulis patches displayed a strong trend towards contraction into high elevation zones.

Models including experience and biopsy/tag in addition to range had ΔAIC c <2, but only range was a significant or near-significant predictor in these models ( Table 3 ).

With a similar approach but shorter simulations, we can explore the seasonal variability of clusters boundaries that may be significant [62] .

We found that retrogression showed a trend towards higher values after electric shock termination which was statistically significant for the first step ( Fig. 1D ).

There was a significant trend of increasing NLR with increasing BMI (p for trend: 0.002).

External syntenic regions are rare, with only 0 to 4 such translocations per syntenic region in all genome pairs, and show only a slight trend for a higher number in longer regions.

Inspection of the bivariate correlations reveals marginally significant associations between physical aggression and language ability at varying times, consistent with previous studies of normally developing children.

Since the chi-square test is likely to be significant with large samples [57] , we also provide approximate indices of fit including the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) [58] and the comparative fit index (CFI) [59] .

An earlier study based on analyses of 726 stations' data (1951–2004) in China showed an increasing trend of 0.39°C/10a in winter, 0.28°C/10a in spring, 0.20°C/10a in autumn and only 0.15°C/10a in summer [8] .

There was a considerably spatial variability in the increasing rate of AMT, ranging from -0.09°C/10a to 0.43°C/10a ( Figure 3a ), with only one station (i.e., N4) showing a decreasing trend (i.e., −0.09°C/10a).

In addition, mice vaccinated with either peptide 2 or peptide 4 VLPs showed a trend toward reduced dermonecrosis (ulcer area) on days 2 and 3 post-infection, although this did not reach statistical significance ( Figure 3C ).

The sharp decrease in catheter related complications that we observed after switching from catheter locking with heparin to taurolidine had a highly significant impact on the clinical burden that HPN care imposes on our clinical ward, as proven by the sharp decrease in number of days that HPN patients spent within the hospital.

The power dropped to 18% to detect the same difference between 440 AD+P patients and all 729 other AD subjects, which may explain the borderline significant difference on 16p11.2 in the comparison of these two groups.

Our user-mentions results are in slight contrast to previous research, which found these to have (marginally significant) negative associations with retweeting [47] .

We inferred that the mixed feature of high-grade gliomas may cause more heterogeneous cellularity compared with gliomblastomas, thus resulting in a significant trend [10] .

found a decreasing trend in surveillance utilization for more recent index colonoscopies.

Furthermore, an increasing trend of annual diffuse radiation in China has been proved to be 7.03 MJ.m −2 .yr −1 per decade from 1981 to 2010 [32] .

The difference in tissue parameters between the reference group and MS patients were highly significant, p 0.001.

The transgenic plants exhibited highly significant increases in both the fresh and dry weight biomasses compared with the corresponding WT plants ( Figure 6D, E ).

In the EGFR gene, rs763317 in intron 1, rs4947986 in intron 6, rs9692301 in intron 19 and rs6970262 in intron 21 demonstrated marginally significant associations with the adjusted phenotypes.
