In the literature

Noticeably here, while we did not find any main effect of the level of simulated gravity upon subsequent vection (although the trend was barely significant), one may speculate that previous coherent sensorimotor exposure (i.e., FFA condition) may help preserve the sensibility to visually-induced self-motion sensation (which is conversely diminished at 100% BW in our experiment).
The clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of this compound in NASH patients produced contradictory results; an initial trial that lasted a year showed a decrease in liver enzymes, lipids, and glucose levels and an increase rate of NASH resolution without fibrosis worsening in treated patients, although this late result was barely significant [ 187 ].
Male-biased genes were highly enriched for neurological and psychiatric disorders (autism, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, AD, and Parkinson’s disease), while female-biased genes were barely significant enriched for a few diseases (OCD, AD, schizophrenia, and epilepsy), which suggested that the male-biased genes likely have functional consequences relevant to human brain diseases, consistent with the “female protective model” in neurodevelopmental disorder.
There are further problems, such as selectively removing outliers that result in significant findings, interpreting nonsignificant p -values in small samples as ‘trends toward significance’ (but not interpreting barely significant p -values as trends toward nonsignificance), and using one-sided tests over two-sided tests to obtain desired results, 30 discussed in Love. 38 All these problems jointly threaten both internal validity and statistical conclusion validity, as it remains unclear whether the conclusions are supported by the data and if other explanations might be more plausible for the effects observed.
While Munc18a substantially stimulated membrane fusion with syntaxin1A [ 21 , 24 ], Munc18a produced a small, barely significant improvement in fusion mediated by SNARE complexes containing wild-type syntaxin3B when compared to wild-type syntaxin3B-containing SNARE complexes alone (compare Figure 1 D and Figure 3 D, blue bars; without Munc18: 4.92 ± 0.15; with Munc18: 5.76 ± 0.18; n = 4; p = 0.0471; one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons).
