Response: We defined P <0.05 as significant (not P =0.05), but acknowledge your concerns about P =0.05 being borderline significant, which can occur with a small mean ±SD difference due to the large sample size, and low variability in LIMA length as mean (SD) decreases with increasing sample size and low variability in data, making even minor differences more detectable.
To verify that handedness differences between the two groups (which were borderline significant; see Table 1 ) did not contribute substantially to the finding of reduced left SMA–vPMC tract strength in ASD participants, we performed three linear regressions to examine the relationship between handedness (Edinburgh score) and the strength of this tract in each group separately and both groups combined.
