Surprisingly, we observed an almost significant association for unconstrained NBN .

One study found a statistically almost significant increase in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in the rosiglitazone group when compared to placebo [ 60 ], while there were no significant changes in VAT between the glitazone and placebo arms in the other studies.

Examining the activation to target following the directional vs neutral cue, we found reduced occipital activity in Alzheimer's disease which was also almost significant for the control group (Fig. 7), suggesting that the cue, by drawing attention to the target location, leads to less visual search.

A large and almost significant effect of 2.05 (95% confidence interval: −0.03 to 4.12) kg milk/cow per day, was also found in the cows in the 4 th quartile of anti- O. ostertagi antibody level pre-treatment (ODR ≥0.72).

An almost significant difference was observed in histological findings between patients who had their last screening within 2 years and those with longer intervals.

The height of biofilm on stainless steel was significant lower than with gold, and almost significant lower compared with ceramic.

Another study of 99 early RA patients reported a small, almost significant correlation between baseline serum ACPA levels and radiographic progression after five years [ 18 ].

On the other hand, the difference of -18 ms ( p = 0.313) obtained for control muscles in four of five RG1 rats and the difference of 1 ms ( p = 1.0) for control muscles in the RG2 rats was not significant, while the difference of -21 ms ( p = 0.026) obtained for muscles with SNC in the RG2 rats was almost significant ( S8 and S9 Tables).

(2018), "There is no definition of a trend toward statistical significance and, therefore, describing 'almost significant' results as a trend introduces substantial subjectivity" and constitutes biased reporting practices.

In terms of potential reliance on simpler strategies, only one strategy (DMO) showed an almost significant effect on the general probability of correctly solving the tasks: individuals tended to choose the option manipulated by the experimenter in the COMB task and avoid it in the DISS task.

This result is more evident in relation to steel plants, with an almost significant 90% excess risk in age 0–1, and with some evidence of excess of hospitalization for neoplasms also in the 0-19- (S – males n = 121, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 1.08 (0.90–1.28), (1-p)%=55%, females n = 102, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 1.12 (0.93–1.35), (1-p)%=71%) and 20-29-years age groups (S – males n = 145, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 0.99 (0.80–1.22), (1-p)%=6%, females n = 140, SHR pooled (90%CI) = 1.08 (0.85–1.36), (1-p)%=44%) (Additional file 2).

Educational background does not have a significant effect for any LMI prototype (although it is almost significant in LMI B ), and its SE values are high.

Overall survival was almost significant in favor of the Iscador group in the combined data set of the randomized studies: estimate of the hazard ratio with 95% confidence interval 0.59 (0.34, 1.02).

An almost significant relationship was found in the subgroup analysis by sex between Lp(a) with CAD in males (Exp(B):1.01, sig.: 0.054) and Lp(a) with AF in females (Exp(B):1.022, sig.: 0.055) ( Supplemental Table S1 ).

6 However, an almost significant increased number of overall and severe postoperative complications was identified in FIGO stage III with respect to FIGO stage IV patients. 6 Similarly, a trend toward a significant increased number of G3–G5 postoperative complications was detected in women receiving > 4 cycles of NACT.
