“marginally significant”

The absence of significant publication bias, as evidenced by Deeks’ funnel plot analysis ( p = 0.08), further strengthens the validity of our conclusions, though the marginally significant p-value necessitates cautious interpretation regarding potential small-study effects.

For all statistical tests, we defined significant as a < 0.05 and marginally significant as 0.05 < a < 0.1. 3.

Many P-values are marginally significant (0.035, 0.039, 0.042, 0.050) and would likely not survive False Discovery Rate correction.

Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05, with values between 0.01 and 0.05 treated as ‘marginally significant’.

However, as shown by the wider CIs (0.041–1.015) and by the marginally significant p -value (0.052), this association lacked the strength observed over the entire follow-up period.

who reported that its association was “marginally significant” [ 23 ].

Our study further supports the potential effects of short-term PM 2.5 exposure on glucose metabolic disorder but suggests that significant elevated glucose and marginally significant elevated HOMA-IR occur in preDM but not healthy subjects.

Among males, repeatability was detected only for the number of squares visited, whereas latency to move and latency to emerge were marginally significant, and the number of inner squares visited did not show significant repeatability ( Table 1 ).

Here, a marginally significant interaction was established between embedded word frequency and the number of embedded words, (GD: b = 1.18, SE = 0.66, t = 1.78; TVT: b = 2.01, SE = 1.17, t = 1.71; number of fixations: b = 1.18, SE = 0.66, t = 1.78), such that the facilitatory main effect of embedded words was slightly stronger when they were low-frequency (i.e., below the frequency median of 4.95: b = –3.60, SE = 0.94, t = –3.84) compared to when they were high-frequency (i.e., above the frequency median: b = –2.09, SE = 1.11, t = –1.88).

Of the MLA studies, one study shows a statistically significant difference 28 and one study shows a marginally significant difference favoring MLA versus control, 25 whereas 2 studies (Tuuli et al 26 and Uchino et al 27 ) show a higher rate of SSIs in the MLA group and the remaining 4 studies show a slightly lower rate of SSIs in the MLA group.

Few correlations were marginally significant, so conclusion should be drawn cautiously.

Interestingly, the marginally significant indicators observed in the pond AOI imply that water elements consistently retain visual attractiveness, even when competing with highly salient seasonal stimuli.

Our results of birth weight on LDL or BMI are indeed marginally significant based on the normal p-value threshold of 0.05 with expected effect direction (i.e., negative effect on LDL and positive effect on BMI), and are thus consistent with ( Zanetti et al., 2018 ).

The use of the term “partially significant” or “marginally significant”, where the P value is almost significant (e.g.

A meta-regression analysis revealed that age ( P = 0.066) had a marginally significant negative correlation with complete occlusion rates (Table 5 ).

Notably, we found a marginally significant relationship between PBL PBX3 methylation levels with leukocyte count and percentage composition of leukocyte subfractions and CRC prognosis.

Discussion About 1.3-fold increased GC risk in population with low BMI (< 23 kg/m 2 ) was found in both total cohort and case-cohort studies, but the association was marginally significant in the case-cohort study.

Age and diabetes had a marginally significant effect in quantitative analysis, while there was no effect in qualitative analysis, which is not consistent with previous studies [ 14 – 18 ].

For riboflavin, a marginally significant positive trend was observed across quartiles in Models 2 and 3 (trend p-value = 0.025), though no significant odds ratio was demonstrated between the highest and lowest quartiles.

Gender, ECOG performance status, RT technique (three-dimensional vs four-dimensional), and GTV were marginally significant on univariable analysis.

Only in the immediate free-recall, did valence have a small and marginally significant influence, with positive arousing images remembered slightly better than negative arousing images.

When normalized to control values, levels of IgG staining were significantly increased by 4 ( Mdn = 174.7%, 25th percentile = 119.7, 75th percentile = 210.1) and 10 to 12 weeks ( Mdn = 362.4%, 25th percentile = 177.9, 75th percentile = 768.4), with a marginally significant trend at 8 weeks ( Mdn = 202.0%, 25th percentile = 80.15, 75th percentile = 259.3; Figure 4(b) ).

There were more boys than girls recorded in play events (12 girls and 21 boys), this effect was marginally significant (Table 1 ).

However, it must be pointed out that the p-value was very close to 5% and therefore could be considered marginally significant.

Further, a recent meta-analysis of previous interventions for water, sanitation, and hygiene showed only a marginally significant effect on height-for-age (0.08 z scores; 95% CI: 0.00–0.16) and no beneficial effect on weight-for-height or weight-for-age ( 10 ).
