In the literature

Clinical data analyses showed the lower expression of FBXW7 significantly correlated with metastasis, TNM stage and differentiation in both IHCC and PHCC, however, only a statistical trend was found in DCC, which may be due to the absence of more advanced (stage III and stage IV) tumor specimens in the dataset we analyzed (Table 1 ).
Our findings revealed that oxidative stress levels did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the EX and CON groups; however, a statistical trend toward slightly lowered oxidative stress was observed in the EX group, suggesting that regular participation in circuit training may contribute to a statistically significant reduction in oxidative stress.
19 , 27 , 28 Considering the hypothesized biological mechanisms of metformin and insulin, we investigated their impact on cancer progression however, failed to show any significant beneficial or worsening effects of antidiabetic drugs with respect to PCa pathological stage, PCa specific mortality as well as BCR, albeit both metformin and insulin users showed a statistical trend towards a lower recurrence rate.
As a proof of concept study, we analysed the MMP11 plasma levels in the NMRI (nu/nu) tumor-free healthy mice and in the NMRI (nu/nu) mice bearing subcutaneous head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) xenograft tumors and found a statistical trend toward increased MMP11 levels in the tumor-bearing mice (Figure S6D).
For one of the secondary outcomes, hydroxychloroquine was associated with a statistical trend to improved pain (p values between 0.06 and 0.10 at 12, 24 and 48 weeks) although it was not superior to PLA for articular involvement; with respect to fatigue, no statistical differences were found. 16 No cases of retinal toxicity or severe adverse events were reported in any of these studies.
Although 6 specimens per group (18 shoulders in total) is a reasonable number and significant differences were observed, the groups might still be underpowered, which may also explain why the higher ultimate load to failure in the CH group compared with the LPCC group showed only a statistical trend but no actual significant difference.
