“approaching significance”

Variables were retained multivariable models based on statistical significance (p < 0.05) or established clinical relevance for variables approaching significance.

Slightly higher SBP values were observed in Group A at 30, 60, and 90 minutes, with p-values approaching significance (0.058, 0.097, and 0.070, respectively), suggesting a trend but not reaching statistical significance.

Similarly, the parameters of bone mineralization (tibia ash, Ca, and P) showed no statistically significant improvements, although a clear trend towards increased values in the OS 0.30 and OS 0.45 groups was observable, with p -values approaching significance (0.054 to 0.079).

The general trend of higher chondrogenic gene expression in the MT than WT was maintained even under proinflammatory conditions, with the difference in Sox9 being statistically significant and that of Col2 approaching significance.

Nevertheless, after 6-days of co-culture and 6 h of Env peptide pool stimulation, T cells co-cultured with DCs from Ad-SIV-immunized macaques showed enhanced frequencies of cytokine + cells approaching significance compared to those co-cultured with DCs from macaques that received Ad-Empty vectors ( Figure 9C ).

However, the significant variables and those approaching significance were introduced into linear modeling after transforming the QoL_Utility, using a mathematical function (i.e., ldl.Normal) to obtain normally distributed data.

There was statistical difference between the different groups of KC and the control group in the gland dropout with a total score approaching significance.

The α-level for significance was 0.05, but we considered levels between 0.05 and 0.2 as approaching significance and providing “evidence of an effect that should be tested with additional studies” [ 4 ].

It is important to interpret differences in behavioral measures that were approaching significance with caution.

3 Note that while the difference in mean amplitude is approaching significance, the pattern is such that female names are higher in amplitude, which leads to the opposite expectation of what was observed if amplitude were causing the results (i.e., higher amplitude was associated with spikiness, while female names were associated with roundness; Lacey et al. 2020 ). 4 The pattern is the same if age is treated as a dummy coded categorical variable for age in years, with 5‐year‐olds as the reference level.

Also, while only approaching significance, more people who were randomized to the RA arm indicated that they were confident in acupuncture alleviating their fatigue compared to either the LIS or HIS arms (RA = 64%; LIS = 29%; HIS = 27%; P = .10).

These patterns were broadly consistent across simpler specifications: the workplace systems domain was already significant in Models 1-2, while psychological impacts and workplace support showed similar directions with P values approaching significance.

Although relative preferences for modality of blood pressure monitoring were broadly consistent between ethnic groups, South Asian and African Caribbean participants rated all modalities of blood pressure monitoring less favourably than did their white British counterparts, albeit only approaching significance for the South Asian group for ABPM.

Correlations with demographic, clinical, and cognitive measures No correlations approaching significance were identified between the left IPS-dACC fixed connection, and behavior, current IQ, premorbid IQ, age, SAPS, SANS, or chlorpromazine equivalent dose.

It is of note that the difference in this metric between loads was apparent in the most load-bearing inferosuperior dimension and approaching significance in the second-most load-bearing, anteroposterior dimension.

Additionally, significant associations with ADL disability were also observed for manganese, copper, and arsenic when other metals set at their 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile, though the association of cadmium was approaching significance ( p- values: 0.50 and 0.53) when other metals set at their 50th and 75th percentile ( Figure 1B and Excel Table S2).

Although we identified several serum ceramides as rhythmic, once adjusted for FDR these lost significance; however, many had low FDRs (≤0.08), approaching significance.

For alcohol dependence, Phelan ( 2013 ) reported fewer words recalled over Trials I-V for alcohol dependent participants (approaching significance), and alcohol dependence was also associated with poorer recognition performance.

Similar to the FISH data in the NSCs, both scrambled controls exhibit sporadic effects, although these results are non-significant except for treatment with 30 nM ASO3_Scr, with reduction in foci approaching significance.

Ideal glucose ( P =0.05), nonsmoking ( P =0.08), and ideal diet ( P =0.05) were approaching significance.

The Wilcoxon signed-rank test did not support the rejection of the null hypothesis (p-value = 0.09120000), therefore while this value is approaching significance, it was concluded that there was no significant increase in the participants' confidence in knowledge regarding the path to becoming a physician (Table 1 ).

Conclusions The results of the study yielded significant differences between elderly individuals with CLBP and NCLBP, with the CLBP participants scoring higher in the psychosocial dimensions of pain interference, fatigue, and the approaching significance in regards to the dimension of sleep disturbance.

The implications of AnCred are also striking when applied to the outcome of trials S3 and L3, whose p -values are in the range 0.05 < p < 0.10, leading to euphemistic descriptions such as ‘fairly significant’, ‘approaching significance’ etc.

Post hoc power analyses were performed for results approaching significance to ensure sufficient statistical sensitivity.

Older adults residing in urban municipalities had higher odds of reporting an increased level of chronic morbidity compared to those in rural areas, but the relationship was statistically approaching significance.
