“barely significant”

At very least, our conclusions and the adoption of bold statements should be reflective of the statistical evidence; where results are barely significant, it may be more prudent to suggest that the results are indicative of something rather than that they confidently state fact.

TNM stage was barely significant in predicting survival in OPSCC at the cancer-specific level ( Table 6 ), and the N stage remained insignificant.

Even so the difference of 10 points between JME and TLE in Pung and Schmitz was barely significant with a p value of 0.02.

Note that, since the expected time to depletion is calculated only on those simulations that lead to a depletion event, its value becomes barely significant when the probability of depletion is very low.

Considering the rarity of this subset, the quantification was barely significant at single donor level, given that only four out of fourteen evaluated samples had >20 acquired events as the difference between stimulated and unstimulated samples.

However, the BMD and BV/TV comparisons were barely significant between the OVX and Sham mandibles, which were quite different from the results obtained in the long bones ( Figs. 1D , 1E ).

As in the case of GPx, pre-treatment for 3 h with all four concentrations of cocoa extract significantly recovered GR activity in a dose-dependent manner between a slight (barely significant) decrease at 25 μg/mL and a through recovery of basal values at 50 and 100 ug/mL, being 200 μg/mL more effective than 25 but less effective than the two lower concentrations ( Figure 7 ).

In the curves of horned octopus, the difference is barely significant only from 5.5 to 6.5 cm i.e. where the CIs did not contain the horizontal line of both graphs representing the same catch efficiency (Fig. 6 , middle).

The expression change for autosomes after transgene induction is barely significant; and it was not clear what was used as the Ctrl?

Specifically, both items had Cronbach’s alpha values less than 0.50 and very low item–total correlations and intraclass correlation coefficients, indicating barely significant or even zero test–retest reliability.

In agreement with 2D cell proliferation, PTBP1 depletion revealed non-consistent and only barely significant effects on spheroid growth and anoikis resistance ( Supplementary Figure S1E, F ).

We note, however, that many of the effects in the mutants are small (and barely significant) and alternative models should be considered.

Another investiga- tion with normal human leukocytes (423) and a lower Cr3 + concentration showed a barely significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal breakage with Cr3` acetate in a concentration of at least 16 ,umole/L but not with Cr3` nitrate or chloride.

184 Since CES-D scores did not significantly vary among unmarried women, the combined results for all women (OR = 1.39; 95% CI = 1.02–1.90) were barely significant. 184 The significance of marital status may indicate that abortion-related depression after an average of 8 years may be triggered by subsequent pregnancies in marriage.

When considering the class of treatment prescribed, only systemic antibiotics and systemic steroids showed a significant increased risk of discontinuation, while immunomodulatory drugs (apremilast) had a barely significant reduced risk of discontinuation (RR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.74–1.01).

Overall, correlations between TP53 and target gene expression were low and barely significant.

Sox2 levels were also elevated but were barely significant ( Figure 5C ).

Figures 3K–M indicate that while addition of CQ or Baf provided a modest degree of sensitization to Fulvestrant alone, in terms of delaying proliferative recovery, sensitization of the MCF7 cells to Palbociclib or the combination treatment was barely significant.

However, in our results the role of the fraction of 60+ people is less clear, showing a positive but barely significant coefficient in the case of Colombia and Ecuador.

Using our formula (equation 2 ), we found that this will preserve J 0 (0.6π/4) = ∼0.94 of the original signal, a reduction in the SNR that is barely significant, and so the π/4 limit is too conservative, as was postulated by Cheng et al.

I would suggest changing it to “largely differ” or something similar, because they do show differences, even though barely significant.

l -Phenylalanine, d -phenylalanine, ( S )-2-amino-3-phenyl-1-propanol, l -norleucine, and l -methionine all activated PheH ∼7-fold. Lower levels of activation were seen with l -4-aminophenylalanine, 3-phenylpropionate, l -leucine, and l -isoleucine; this is consistent with the very low affinities of these compounds. The activation by valine is barely significant, consistent with the small effects of this amino acid on fluorescence and dimerization.

azollae , FR led to barely significant accumulation of a PsbA transcript of low abundance (817 BM; 1.36 log2FC with 0.099 P adj; Supplementary Table 4 , N. azollae ).

After 1 year, we had a significant improvement of all comorbidities ( P < 0.05) except for smoking and lower extremities’ varices while the resolution of GERD was barely significant.

The third protein (PTH2) was found to be largely specific for Actinobacteria (A) and only 4 hits for Archaea (R) and 1 hit for Bacillus (B), which are barely significant, were observed.
