However, we found that the association between HTN and development of CKD stages 3–5 was marginally significant.

There was also an observed trend with a higher proportion of overweight and obese mothers in this group, but the difference did not reach significance.

For example, child’s age was not significantly associated with wasting in urban households in the Maldives or Nepal, and only marginally significant in Pakistan.

Patients in the complication group showed a trend to have higher plasma levels of IL-8 at the end of surgery and on the first postoperative day compared to the non-complication group (21 (interquartile range: 13–53) vs. 16 (interquartile range: 11–22) pg/ml and 31 (interquartile range: 13–49) vs. 19 (interquartile range: 12–33) pg/ml; P = 0.065, P = 0.16 respectively) ( Fig 2 ).

The peak in yearly temperature coincided with an increasing trend of gamete abundance in males and females at Wirrina Cove, while this pattern was not as consistent at North Haven.

Exposure to 1.5h of hypothermia did not affect the levels of TUNEL+ cell death ( Fig 3B ), and showed a trend towards reduced microglial activation based on αMβ2 integrin immunoreactivity but did not reach statistical significance overall (Mixed Linear Model treating region as a repeated measure p = 0.332) or in any of the examined brain regions ( Fig 3C ).

The absence of a clear trend in this subset of our data may be the result of pressure-induced perturbation in sediment community.

The level of significance was set at P ≤ 0.05 and P values between 0.05 and 0.1 were considered to indicate a tendency towards significance.

Thus, whereas a highly significant correlation was found between mass size and the size of the continuity area in AM, where the continuity area increased along with the size of the AM, this correlation was very weakly significant in DC.

The statistical framework (maxP) identified highly significant biomarkers that are differentially expressed in all studies: 335 DEGs including 224 overexpressed and 111 underexpressed genes satisfying the significance threshold of FDR < 0.05 (see S2 Table ).

DOC qwc was marginally significant with the NDVI.

The last dominant descriptor was calm with an increasing trend from 54 to 90 s when it reached a dominant rate of 73%.

Nonetheless, this non-inferiority of IMRT for disease-related outcomes is reassuring in that the highly significant reduction in xerostomia is not occurring at the cost of disease control.

At large-scales the description of latitudinal and elevational diversity patterns have occupied a central place in ecology and most studies reveal a decreasing trend in richness with latitude and elevation [ 1 , 10 – 14 ].

Cesarean-born children showed a borderline significant decrease in the pDC/mDC ratio, suggesting an immunological imbalance in cord blood.

The pDC/mDC ratio was decreased in neonates delivered via C-section with a borderline significance level (β = -21.9; 95% CI:-39.3,04), due to a more pronounced reduction in pDC than in mDC counts (β = -33.8; 95% CI:-50.5,-11.4 and β = -15.1; 95% CI:-37.0,14.4, respectively) ( Table 4 and Fig 1a ).

It is important to note that these mice are a C3H strain, not DBA/2J, as it is well known that there are highly significant mouse strain differences in susceptibility to the development of DKD and to the effectiveness of treatment.

The instruments are highly significant in the first stage regression (J statistics between 13.2 and 22.2 corresponding to p-values of zero for the instruments’ joint significance in the first stage regressions); over-identification tests fail to reject the validity of our instruments and Wald test of exogeneity fail to reject the exogeneity of the popularity of smokers and non-smokers’ suggesting that a single equation probit model may be more appropriate (we can reject exogeneity at the 10% level in one regression, having ever smoked regularly by 2009; yet, results still hold).

Utilization of the partograph was marginally significant among obstetric caregivers who had good knowledge about it.

Genetic origins had no significant effect on Wr in piscivorous populations, although there was a positive trend of an effect toward local fish having the highest condition index values.

We find that while the model more precisely estimates the effect of income, the predictive capacity of our four variables of interest, as well as of the model in its entirety, appears to be lower compared to the one-year model predicting behavioral trust (column 2), however, differently from model 2, we find that the income estimate is marginally significant.

In the patients, the highly significant improvement of the STs at all levels of difficulty took place mainly in the first 4 weeks of the training (Level of difficulty 1 and 2).

[ 17 ], showed a trend towards a lower incidence of active CMV infection in the TT genotype stem cell donors (even not statistically significant).

We also tested for a correlative relationship between abundance of Δ9-THC in leaves and flowers and detected a slight trend between Δ9-THC content in leaf and only the flowers from the upper portions of the plant however there was insufficient statistical support for this relationship ( S1 Fig ).

Indeed, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was highly significant for mediators that weighted PCA1 (MCP1, IP10, and IL-15): MCP1 versus IP10 (r = 0.642, p = < 0.0001), MCP1 versus IL-15 (r = 0.669, p = < 0.0001), and IP10 versus IL-15 (r = 0.907, p = < 0.0001).
