Associations between Dietary Iron and Risk on Elevated Fasting Glucose Stratified by the rs10830963 Risk Allele in the MTNR1B Gene After adjusting for age, sex, region, years of education, physical activity level, intentional physical exercise, smoking status, alcohol use, and total energy, a borderline significant trend was observed across the quartiles of total dietary iron and risk of elevated fasting glucose among G allele non-carriers ( p = 0.066), while a linear trend was found among G allele carriers ( p = 0.033) in all participants ( Table 3 and Figure 2 ).

Conversely, high STING in the stromal compartment showed a borderline significant trend toward reduced DF ( P = .067; Figure 5A ).

In the fully adjusted model (Model 4), which included demographics, lifestyle factors, and comorbidities, significant inverse association remained evident in the combined analysis (Q2: HR 0.841, 95% CI: 0.741–0.954, p = 0.007; Q3: HR 0.817, 95% CI: 0.686–0.972, p = 0.023), with a borderline significant trend for Q4 (HR 0.800, 95% CI: 0.629–1.018, p = 0.070).

Further inclusion of lifestyle factors in Model 3 attenuated the effect, yet CRP > 2 mg/L retained a borderline significant trend (HR 1.14, 95% CI 0.99–1.31, P = 0.076) (Table 4 ).

There was a borderline significant trend for different effect sizes across geographic regions (Q = 4.8, p = 0.09).

The lateral extension 14 of the PFNA blade compared with that in the image taken immediately after surgery showed a borderline significant trend (Group A, 3.3 ± 1.3 mm (min, 0.5; max, 5.1) and Group B, 5.1 ± 2.1 mm (min, 1.5; max, 8.4); p = 0.092) at 3 months and statistically significant difference at 24 months after surgery (Group A, 3.6 ± 3.1 mm (min, 0.5; max, 7.8); Group B 7.8 ± 3.7 mm (min, 3.0; max, 12.5); p = 0.017).

Higher education (tertiary and above) showed a borderline significant trend towards lower disease stigma (β=−0.108, p=0.122), but did not reach statistical significance.

In the present study, no significant relationship was found between the basic clinical and pathological parameters and the presence of central fibrosis/hyalinization area, except for a borderline significant trend toward less frequent occurrence in higher-grade tumors.

On the other hand, women showed a borderline significant trend toward a higher risk of dysphagia as physical activity levels increased ( P for trend = 0.055).

, reported a borderline significant trend, where children were more likely to meet their recommended daily dairy products intake if they reported that their mothers drank milk every day (OR = 8·56; 95 % CI (0·96, 76·25); P = 0·05) ( 47 ) .

Compared with PCI, CABG was associated with a borderline significant trend toward lower risk of all-cause death and MACCE in patients with normal renal function and mild renal dysfunction but not in those with moderate renal dysfunction.

The discrepancy between the results of these two systematic reviews is likely a consequence of broader inclusion criteria as Zeiler and colleagues included pediatric studies [ 117 , 118 ], one study that demonstrated a borderline significant trend between CSF-IL-1β and outcome [ 119 ], as well as one study predominantly describing increased CSF levels of IL-1β without a clear relationship to outcome [ 120 ].

Another study from the British Regional Heart Study reported that a high-sugar dietary pattern, including a diet high in biscuits, was associated with a borderline significant trend for an increased risk of CHD events ( 41 ).

For admission with heart failure, group 2 was associated with a lower risk than group 1; however, group 3 did not show a significant difference compared to group 1, while group 4 showed only a borderline significant trend toward a lower risk of admission for heart failure compared to group 1.

On the other hand, ESPB was associated with a borderline significant trend toward reduction of block-related complications.

Among them, coping and stress management showed a borderline significant trend between groups at T1, and it became better at T2.

[ 35 ], data for the diabetic population were reported in 10 RCTs (N = 30,448), and the authors only found a borderline significant trend towards less cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal MI, and nonfatal stroke with aspirin (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.82–1.00, I 2 = 0%).

In contrast, stratification by PD-L1 status in the same arm (IMPower150 ABCP) showed a less pronounced difference in survival outcomes, with an HR of 0.77 and a logrank p-value of 0.0539, suggesting a borderline significant trend but not a strong enough distinction between the PD-L1 high and low groups.

When assessing the prevalence of osteoporosis by 10-year age categories, there was a borderline significant trend towards an increasing prevalence of osteoporosis with increasing age (Fig. 2 ).
