According to a nationwide cohort study (811,961 individuals, N CeVD death = 23,344) conducted by the American Cancer Society (ACS), the association between residential radon exposure at the county-level and CeVD mortality (per 100 Bq/m 3 ) was either borderline significant (HR = 1.05, 95% CI 0.99, 1.10) or significant (HR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.01, 1.14), depending on the data sources of county-level radon exposure (Table 2 ) (Turner et al. 2012a ).

At endpoint, CTX was significantly decreased whereas there was a borderline significant increase in PINP in adenine-treated mice compared to mice on a control diet, suggesting a reduced bone resorption but an increased bone formation (Figure 2 B).

The same applied to all secondary outcome measures, with the HADS and HoNOS being the scales closest to showing a borderline significant difference.

The present study only found a borderline significant association between socio-economic position in childhood and LMP in young adulthood.

Results In an evaluation of all women, there was a borderline significant reduction in recurrence-free survival with either one or both variant alleles (CT + TT) when compared with patients with wild-type alleles (CC) (odds ratio, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.42–1.01).

However, our multivariate model showed that the AGSM score had a borderline significant impact on G tolerance.

Prevalent diabetes was associated with an increased risk of AF with HF in MDCS (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.43 to 2.22), a finding that was borderline significant in MPP (HR 1.29, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.66).

When investigating interactions between residential traffic noise exposure and age, sex, prognostic factors, and Charlson score, we found a borderline significant interaction with malignancy grade and lymph node involvement, suggesting that those with less aggressive disease were more susceptible to traffic noise (MRR 1.29 (0.93–1.78) per 10 dB for tumor stage I-II; MRR 1.19 (0.86–1.63) per 10 dB for lymph node involvement).

Results for myocardial infarction and hypertension were borderline significant (OR = 1.35 [0.98, 1.87], and OR = 1.03 [0.99, 1.07], respectively).

Another study found a borderline significant association between same-day and previous-day exposure to PM2.5 exposure and the risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) [ 32 ].

Hypertension was borderline significant.

Concerning the CEI, borderline significant and significant associations were found for oral cavity/pharynx unspecified (OR = 3.04, 95% CI 0.97–9.54; p = 0.09) and larynx (OR = 2.26, 95% CI 1.07–4.76), but only in the lowest category of exposure.

33 Meanwhile, a recent placebo-controlled dietary advice trial, which made excellent efforts to maintain blinding, has shown that the difference in symptom relief between a low-FODMAP diet and a “sham diet” was borderline significant in the intention-to-treat analysis. 34 Although there is increasing evidence supporting the use of low-FODMAP diets as an IBS treatment, clinical data supporting the application of this strategy to Korean IBS patients are lacking.

Statistical analysis by ANOVA revealed that these increases were borderline significant for IFN-α and significant for CXCL10 and IL1Ra (see figure legend for details).

the placebo group before treatment; however, the initially borderline significant difference between the two groups became insignificant at week 20, indicating the potential amelioration of insulin resistance by using TENS (two-sample t -test showed a borderline significant pre-treatment difference with P = 0.098 and non-significant difference at week 20 with P = 0.437; mixed model 2-way ANOVA showed a significant group effect with P = 0.002).

Although these are within the range of false positives expected at this level of stringency, recent observations of the gut microbiota in atherosclerosis [57] have also detected borderline significant shifts in organismal composition.

The total findings, which included SMD = 0.443, 95%CI [−0.06,0.93], p = 0.077, and Z = 1.764, indicated a borderline significant effect.

Values of p < 0.05 and 0.05 < p < 0.10 were considered statistically significant and borderline significant respectively.

The multivariate logistic regression analyses in Table 5 reveal that the level of action planning at baseline only predicted smoking cessation for smokers motivated to quit within a month at the first follow-up, and had only a borderline significant effect on smoking cessation for the total population at the first follow-up.

In the OB group, the Early 2 h PP glucose across meals was correlated with NB%fat (r = 0.469, p = 0.05 [borderline significant]).

After adjustment for the Framingham risk score, the continuous BMI (≥18.5) measure remained statistically significant in European men and Indian men and was borderline significant for Indian women.

There was a borderline significant improvement in ADL for 100 mg/d measured by UPDRS part II and European quality of life. 18 Clinical studies in advanced PD Study 016 19 was a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial with four phases: a 10-day screening period, a 4-week l -dopa stabilization period, a 24-week treatment period, and an optional 1-week taper period.
