“close-to-significant”

For overall significant and close-to-significant Freeman-Halton tests, we descriptively report on differences between counts and expected counts with a focus on the most prominent deviations.

In the present analysis, before propensity score adjustment there was a close-to-significant reduction of the overall pancreatic leak rate in the preoperative therapy group.

Hartz and Ross found a significant association of hypnotic use with melanoma and close-to-significant associations for lung and breast cancers 72 .

Furthermore, it showed a close-to-significant correlation with reading.

For example, the close-to-significant difference seen in terms of alignment with science values at the beginning of the semester could be a real difference that could be validated with larger samples.

Similarly, another study described that sCD36 levels were associated with the level of intrahepatic lipids (measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy) in NAFLD patients, and close-to-significant correlated with hepatic CD36 mRNA expression in the available biopsies from these patients 132 .

For adult populations, our meta-analyses showed a close-to-significant favorable effect for mental distress, M(SMD)=0.33, 95% CI [–0.03, 0.69], which was significant when analyses were limited to high-quality studies.

Additionally, in the present study, there is no significant or close-to-significant correlation between behavioral interference and the LPP/Alpha ERD (neither regarding the absolute values nor for the emotional vs. neutral differentials).

Overall, there was a close-to-significant difference between the pattern of Bcl-2 expression and between the H-scores of the two tumors.

In contrast to this close-to-significant difference between AN-R and AN-P, values of AN-P and BN patients were very similar and there was no tendency toward a significant difference between those groups.

The only tentative indication of a social modulation of spatial compatibility was a close-to-significant interaction with gaze in the GLMM on RT data, with stronger spatial effects in response to averted gaze compared to direct gaze.

However, after 12 months, there was a significant difference in CHAQ and close-to-significant difference in active joints between the groups (Table 6 ), meaning that children in JASP-1 perceived less disease impact on daily life and had fewer active joints than the control group.

Multiple protein-alignment examinations were further used to approve or reject orfs with significant or close-to-significant sequence similarity.

For the ROI of ocular bias voxels (to analyze binocular responses), we first identified two ocular bias clusters in each LGN with significant or close-to-significant DE-NDE activations in the ocular bias localizer (see Supplementary Fig. 2 shows the ocular bias clusters for all LGNs). 15 voxels with the strongest ocular bias in each cluster were selected as the ocular bias voxels for the analysis of binocular responses.

Trend tests on all age groups younger than 20 years showed a close-to-significant decrease between 5 and 15 years of age in the 1997 cohort.

Stratification by level of physical activity showed a 22% decreased risk of mortality (OR 0.78, 95CI 0.64–0.94) for people with a low level of physical activity, a close-to-significant 36% decreased risk (OR 0.64, 95CI 0.28–1.01) for those with a moderate level of physical activity, and a 27% decreased risk (OR 0.63, 95CI 0.33–0.94) for those with a high level of physical activity.

On the other hand, a visual inspection of the forest plot presented in Figure 3(d) reveals that two of these three IPPs whose pooled effects were calculated using multiple estimations (IPP 2 = 4 studies; IPP 3 = 3 studies) and extensive cohorts of athletes (>4000 participants) were the ones that showed statistically significant or close-to-significant knee injury risk mitigation effects.

As expected, PrP Sc immunostaining was absent in healthy animals and markedly increased in all CNS regions of clinical sheep, with significant accumulation already evident in the preclinical stage, particularly in the obex, cerebellum, hippocampus and frontal cortex, and a close-to-significant increase also observed in the thalamus of preclinical scrapie-affected sheep.

Although coefficients for the interaction were not significant, with b = −0.070 ( P = 0.062) for alcohol consumption and OR = 0.94 (CI = 0.87–1.01) for harmful alcohol use, the close-to-significant interaction effects led us to conduct stratified analyses on one group lower than the median on conduct problems and one group higher than median.

However, although close-to-significant, the observed difference did not reach statistical significance with these sample sizes.

For the close-to-significant results we calculated Bayes Factors (BF 10 ) to measure the extent to which the data provide evidence in favor of the absence of an effect using BayesFactor package in R 37 .

Additionally, adolescents with sleep trouble reported more attention problems than adolescents without sleep trouble, although the difference was only close-to-significant ( Table 1 ).
