As expected, there was a strong trend for decreased variance overall for the longer tracings ( Figure 2B ).

For these victims, a marginally significant association was evident between TL (measured at baseline) and PTSD which led the investigators to suggest that rape victims with pre-existing shorter relative LT might be more susceptible and thus less resilient to developing a major depressive disorder (MDD) or PTSD related to rape trauma.

For the remaining sources, the improvement was less dramatic but still quite significant.

The result of this analysis is still a highly significant inverse correlation that in fact, matches the slope and intercept of the Eocene taxa treated alone (PGLS regression: ln [CDL/CTL] = (−1)*(0.066–0.069)*ln[BM] - (0.39–0.38), n = 98.

It is noteworthy that only in the last six cycles a decreasing trend in mosquito infestation could be observed, indicating the need for a continuous surveillance.

After filtering outliers, the LE RMS decreased for all sky availability classes, with an overall trend of smaller error values as sky availability increased.

This highly significant negative correlation demonstrated that the more double strands existed in DNA, the less DNA repair reaction was induced to repair the strand breaks.

In terms of the second form of trial result reporting, basic results submission, our analysis points to an increasing trend of trial record managers making these submissions to the registry (increase from 10% in 2006 to 30% in 2009; Table 3) .

There was a clear trend of increasing prevalence as altitude and rainfall increased.

CK showed a decreasing trend (from 6.31 to 2.99 μmol mmol −1 ), as did IW (from 5.29 to 2.54 μmol mmol −1 ).

DS, IW, and CK maintained an increasing trend from jointing to anthesis stage ( Fig. 5B ).

In an artificial grammar learning experiment, Perruchet and Peeremans found a marginally significant effect of the letter set (low vs. high frequencies in the participants' native language) [64] .

Other than that, a pooled analysis of three trials showed that specific mutation in KRAS codon 12 also had different impact on treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients and tumor bearing a KRAS G12D mutation showed a strong trend to a more favorable outcome comparing to other codon 12 mutations [12] .

For BMI and waist circumference the identified SNP combinations contained SNPs which were also nominally significant associated in the single SNP analyses (for BMI: FTO rs9939609 and both MC4R-SNPs).

Where terms were of borderline significance (e.g. associated P value when included in the model of 0.05–0.10) then alternative models (i.e. those that retained or excluded the factor) were both reported [45] .

No significant correlation (Spearman’s rho = 0.077, p = 0.557) is indicated between expression level and tumor stages, however, there is a positive trend.

This result confirms the published QTL mapping for LMA in the WW1842 x Whistler doubled haploid position which showed segregation of the Rht-B1 locus with the Rht-B1a allele of Whistler tightly linked or co-located to a highly significant QTL for LMA in the population [10] .

As summarized in Figure 4 (A, C), the cell viability of PEG-Bu, PEI-Bu and PEI 25 kDa displayed a decreasing trend with increasing polymer concentration, indicating that the cytotoxicity of these polymers was concentration-dependent.

We found a marginally non-significant tendency for a relationship between differences in parental feeding rates ( = when using the growth rate as a proxy) between foster and focal parents and the future reproductive investment of the daughters.

In 27 SNPs of ESR1, ESR2 and PGR by Sequenom MassARRAY assays, p values <0.05 were defined as nominally significant, and samples were further subjected to Bonferroni correction to correct multiple comparisons.

The regulation of miRNA-196b by DNA methylation has been shown to be involved in the development of many other cancers and may be significant in CML.

We cannot exclude the role of birth weight in our study since it was of borderline significance in univariate analysis and because this parameter was not available for all the children.

In the three GO categories, although the statistical test above did not show highly significant differences, the ratios of frequencies in GO slim terms between the fruiting bodies and the mycelia are high in some GO slim terms ( Figure 2) .

Our models investigating whether individuals exhibit plasticity in their signaling behavior were highly significant, explaining 71–97% of the variation in signaling traits ( Tables 2 – 4 ).

Note that although a quadratic effect is apparent for the right precuneus in Figure 2B , this effect just failed to reach significance ( p FWE = .06).
