“a statistical trend”

With respect to our fourth hypothesis [(iv) differentiation between patients with ALS regardless of onset type and healthy controls], the group of patients with ALS showed a statistical trend toward completing fewer sweeps compared to the group of controls, while there were no significant differences and no trend toward a significant difference in sweep duration or in sweep errors in the patient group compared to healthy controls (see Table 4 for statistics), as shown in Figure 3 .

A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant; a p-value between 0.05 and 0.1 as an indicator for a statistical trend of significance.

Similarly, in the domain of sexual arousal, we could recognize a statistical trend towards differences between IG and CG, where patients in CG showed a tendency towards gradual deterioration while in IG, the average score numerically improved despite the lack of statistical significance.

None of the other considered correlations was significant or showed at least a statistical trend (Tables 5 and 6 ).

A statistical trend toward a decrease in the time associated with the sedentary state was also observed.

Furthermore, analysis of the same RCTs revealed a statistical trend of greater treatment efficacy compared to placebo, identified as an absolute risk difference, with increasing initial ultrasonic measured mean abscess score (cm); whereby, monotherapy groups follow the same increasing efficacy trend as do concomitant therapy groups (Figure 3 ).

There was a statistical trend toward a shorter duration of antibiotic exposure before obtaining the CSF in those with a positive culture (24 hours in culture positive vs 48 hours in culture negative, P = .052).

A p -value less than 0.05 (i.e., p < 0.05) was considered statistically significant, whereas a p -value between 0.05 and 0.10 (i.e., p ≤ 0.10) was considered a statistical trend for all analyses.

There was also a positive change in the objective social situation which however reflected only a statistical trend and did not reach a significance level of 5%.

Secondly, the concordance rate for the thyroiditis group declines when C3 aspirates were considered positive, accompanied by a statistical trend of inferior concordance compared to the non-thyroiditis group.

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.

In our primary hypothesis testing, we assessed a statistical trend for raw EDIP scores with cohort (sex)‐specific ceilings at 5th and 95th percentile values to eliminate outlier effects.

0.82–1.01) were in the optimal model as judged by overall χ 2 , though PEFR and UCO were not significant, only showing a statistical trend.

( 26 ) In our study, there was no statistically significant difference between the histological and cytological methods in the ability to determine the diagnosis of lesions, as well as as in differentiating benign from malignant lesions, but it is observed a statistical trend in favor of the histological analysis.

The average values by age group did not follow a statistical trend . 3.3.2.

TLE patients showed significantly reduced prosody recognition compared to CG, and in the morph task, there was a statistical trend towards significantly reduced performance for TLE.

The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network’s [ 9 ] multi-center pilot of electronic health record (EHR)-based pre-emptive pharmacogenetics (PGx) of the following gene–drug pairs ( CYP2C19 /clopidogrel, CYP2C9 / VKORC1 /warfarin, and SLCO1B1 /simvastatin) [ 10 ] showed that patients prescribed warfarin within the CPIC dosing guideline range had a statistical trend toward faster time to first stable target international normalized ratio (INR) compared to a starting dose outside this range [ 11 ].

Hippocampal subfield profiles The evaluation of hippocampal subfields in PLS revealed focal atrophy in the dentate (GC-ML-DG), molecular layer, and CA4 subfields compared to controls as well as a statistical trend for volume reductions in CA1 and CA2/3.

Statistical significance was determined at α = 0.05, and because of the small sample sizes for some of the variables a statistical trend was determined at α = 0.10.

The association between valve surgery type and VP burden >20% showed a statistical trend but did not reach significance (p = 0.066).

compared local quadrantic injection of 40 mg of triamcinolone after EBD of short ileocolic anastomotic CD strictures (<5 cm) to saline placebo [ 23 ]; 1 in 6 patients in the placebo group required redilation compared to 5 in 7 in the steroid group, with a statistical trend towards a difference in time to repeat dilation, which was worse in the steroid group ( p 0.06, HR 6.1).

In addition, a statistical trend test (SAS procedure REG) was performed to assess a possible dose-related increase of micronucleated cells.

Unexpectedly, high levels of CD8 + TCF1 + cells revealed a statistical trend towards worse DFS in the TC ( Figures 1B, C , Table 1 ).

This difference did not survive Bonferroni correction across the family of habenula volume group comparisons (Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.080) and is therefore interpreted as a statistical trend.

The finding supporting this explanation is shown by the correlation between patient's MELD score and the NLR/dNLR with a statistical trend of worse OS (P 0.09 and 0.12).
