“borderline significant”

Positive relationships have been observed between serum 25(OH)D and BMD.( 27 , 28 ) Adjustment for BMD attenuated the association between total 25(OH)D and hip fracture such that the overall trend was borderline significant.

Both fledglings and recruitment models lose the significant effect of age 2 , the linear effect of age is only borderline significant (depending upon model), and importantly the parameter estimate of age is much closer to zero in the longitudinal dataset ( Tables S7 and S9 ).

A P value < 0.05 for a functional category denotes significant overrepresentation, and 0.05 ≤ P values ≤ 0.15 were considered borderline significant.

At 4 weeks, decaffeinated coffee was associated with a borderline significant increase in SHBG in women, but not in men.

While the associations with specific pathways such as the IGF1 (p = 0.016) signature, the BRCA deficiency signature (p = 0.095) or the genomic grade index (p = 0.040) were statistically borderline significant and visually less pronounced, ( Figure S4A–C ) we could more clearly confirm the associations with TNBC subtypes published by Lehmann and colleagues despite the small number of samples (p = 0.07, 0.009 and 0.008 for mesenchymal stem cell, luminal androgen receptor and basal 1 signatures, respectively, Figure S4D–F ) [9] .

nt time × genotype interaction, with significantly higher MEP amplitudes after 1-Hz rTMS in the Val/Val group compared to the non-Val/Val group; and (3) PAS(25) for two muscles [abductor pollicis brevis (APB); abductor digiti minimi (ADM)] resulted in a significant increase of the MEPs in ADM and a borderline significant increase in APB in the Val/Val group and no significant effects in non-Val/Val individuals (Cheeran et al., 2008 ).

Oral intake of 24 g of protein 1 h prior to injection of tracer tended to increase variability, but the effects on derived tumour metrics TBR mean and TBR max were only borderline significant, and changes generally within the variability observed in the group with no protein intake.

The difference ranged from −3.9 MJ/d (32%) on the third assessment occasion to −2.7 MJ/d (23%) on the second assessment occasion and the correlation coefficient for EI and TEE was only statistically significant on assessment occasion 4 ( ρ = 0.34, CI: 0.04, 0.58), although it was borderline significant on the first assessment occasion.

We found that high retinol intake was associated with a borderline significant reduced risk of bladder cancer, and the non-significance might be attributed to the heterogeneity among studies.

The differential expression of some of them was borderline significant.

Regarding demographic and pre-operative characteristics, the mean age in group A was 47.7 ±8.3 years, compared to 43.4 ±7.4 years in group B ( p = 0.05), indicating a borderline significant age difference.

Larger sample sizes result in improved power of finding an important treatment effect when it’s there, as well as tighter CIs, and reduced publication biases when an effect is significant; but pre-experimental planning and statistical inference given a borderline significant p value are quite different things.

Borderline significant odds of seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were found in HCWs in CHU JRA (aOR, 2.08; [1.10–4.02]) compared to the control group.

Stage 3 was also associated with a higher, borderline significant risk of substantial cognitive decline after adjustment for demographic, behavioral, and clinical factors.

The decreased expression of OAT2 is associated with an increased (borderline significant) level of serum creatinine in rats with induced diabetes mellitus type 2 compared to control non-diabetic animals.

At year 5, a better improvement from baseline in VAS pain was observed in the MRI treat-to-target group compared with the conventional treat-to-target group (borderline significant at year 2).

Another RCT in North India reported a small borderline significant beneficial effect of 1·8 μg vitamin B 12 supplementation given daily for 6 months on neurodevelopment in young children, with the most pronounced effect among children who had evidence of vitamin B 12 deficiency and who were stunted at study start ( 14 ) .

A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant and a p-value between 0.05 and 0.10 was deemed to be borderline significant level on all statistical analyses.

This may explain the borderline significant results found in some of the analyses.

The difference was highly significant for FV6-specific IgG ( P (T) < .001) and borderline significant for FV2-specific IgG ( P (T) = .05).

Letrozole significantly decreased distant recurrences (hazard ratio [HR] 0.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.43–0.84), and node-positive patients also demonstrated a borderline significant overall survival benefit (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.38–0.98) [ 41 ].

In the subsample of persons with diabetes we also found a significant association between nighttime traffic noise and SBP and borderline significant results for daytime traffic and SBP and DBP, whereas no significant association was found among the paricipants who were not diabetic ( Table 4 ).

Moreover, the significant mediating effects became borderline significant in the placebo group.

Differential responses to smoking were borderline significant between groups as follows: CD54 decreased more and A17 and A27 increased more in the young susceptible group (Figure 2 ).

12 Of the previously published HF data from trials comparing statins to placebo or standard care, only the Heart Protection Study (HPS) demonstrated a reduction in any major HF event, namely a borderline significant reduction of 14% in the composite outcome of HF death and non-fatal HF hospitalization on simvastatin compared with placebo [354 vs. 405 first events, RR 0.86 (95% CI 0.75–1.00)]. 4 In HPS, there were also trends towards reductions in both HF death and non-fatal hospitalizations, respectively. 4 , 33 However, other trials had found no such benefit, underlining the need for a comprehensive synthesis of trial data.
