“a statistical trend”

In this context, what was the criterion to classify a given result as a trend? This information should be included in the manuscript, because a p = 0.08 was considered a trend (lines 601 to 604), whereas a p = 0.09 was not (lines 583 to 586).” << We thank the reviewer for this question and the opportunity to address how we define a statistical trend.

Of studies where this relationship was investigated ( n = 6), two found that with increasing ball speed, there was a statistical trend [ 87 ] and a statistically significant relationship with increased head acceleration [ 91 ].

While a statistical trend was noted between assessments of ROC curves for MRPP and APMHR, overall this failed to reach significance (z = 1.8, p = 0.072; Fig. 2 ).

Furthermore, there was no clear and strong direct dependence of any of the g‐factors on the externalizing dimension of p (n.b., the dependence of the P/NVR factor was a statistical trend).

In turn, p values between 0.05 and 0.1 were considered to indicate a statistical trend.

In Study 1, when compared to placebo + exercise, LM combined with three sets of low-intensity resistance exercise had no significant effects on the outcome measures, although a statistical trend was found favoring LM + exercise group on increased anterior thigh muscle thickness.

A statistical trend was also observed in BDKRB2 (+9/−9) and LEP (G–2548A) heterozygous genotypes among male and female Greek athletes, and in ACE (I/D) only in male athletes.

There was a statistical trend for the full‐thickness constructs to also be more resistant to deformation compared to the partial‐thickness within the cruciate suture pattern specimens with mean (SD) values reported at 2.79 (1.03) N/mm compared to 8.36 (5.93) N/mm. 3.1.3.

The correlation coefficient between cognitive screening scores and years of education (shown in Table 2 ) revealed a significant relationship between MMSE and CLOX2 scores, Mungas correction of MMSE and both CLOX1 and CLOX2 scores, and a statistical trend association between CLOX1 and CLOX2 scores.

Although the change in relative volume of the olfactory bulb was the only statistically significant outcome, a statistical trend for a change in volume of several brain regions warrants investigation.

There was also a statistical trend associating the levels of oxidation and packaging colour.

SUL-DUR met the primary end point of 28-day all-cause mortality showing noninferiority compared with colistin in a microbiologically modified intent-to-treat population, with a statistical trend toward lower mortality among patients who received SUL-DUR vs colistin (19% [12/63] vs 32.3% [20/62], respectively).

Albumin level showed a statistical trend toward being lower in the NOAF group.

There was a statistical trend for a reduction of self-reported BPD symptoms after 10 weeks of CBASP [BSL-23: t ( 49 ) = 1.96, p FDR = 0.10, d = −0.31].

Across DSQ subgroups there are statistically significant differences in FIS and COMPASS 31 scores, and there was a statistical trend for a monotonic increase of self-reported cognitive impairment with increased DSQ category.

Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed a statistical trend of association between disease-specific survival duration and M stage.

Significance was defined as P < 0.05, while a probability level of 0.05 ≤ P < 0.10 was considered as a statistical trend.

Differences were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05, and 0.05 ≤ p < 0.10 was interpreted as a statistical trend where appropriate.

Our study failed to provide any clarity on the mechanism behind the reductions in blood glucose concentrations, as only a statistical trend for greater insulin levels were found in BHB infused cows.

In addition, we found a reduction in subjective time in bed (TIB) and a statistical trend towards a reduction in subjective total sleep time (TST); the Sleep Score (combined value including sleep duration, sleep regularity and subjective sleep quality, scores between 1 and 10, while higher scores represent more favourable values), however, did not change significantly (see Table 2 for descriptive values and statistics).

For the semantic fluency task, the number of vascular burden factors showed no significant prediction (p > .1), while hypertension (β = -.053, p = .084) showed a statistical trend towards a prediction of decreased left IFJ hemodynamic response amplitudes.

In this case, neither the results of the main ANOVA model nor contrast analysis of the four time points revealed significant differences, but data did suggest a statistical trend (see section 3.1.2).

For all 14 BS together, this difference only reached the level of a statistical trend for overall prevalence and the frequency requirement ( Table 3 ).

Mean source wave form resting-state data revealed only a statistical trend for an age-related decrease in slow wave activity, which was, however, in line with data reported by Fehr [ 20 ], who also reported a decrease in delta source activity (Minimum-Norm, L2) but also reported an increase in higher-frequency bands.

Both groups showed significant VS activation during reward and loss-avoidance anticipation compared to neutral conditions, but UHR subjects demonstrated a statistical trend toward reduced activation during loss-avoidance anticipation.
