“marginally significant”

We have no explanation for our finding of a marginally significant, 23% increase breast cancer, based on a total of 139 observed cases.

Allium vegetable intake was found to be associated with a marginally significant reduction in endometrial cancer risk among thinner women (OR=0.70, 95% CI=0.47–1.06, for the highest quartile).

Covariates in the final models included age, level of education, household income, occupational activity status, and smoking which were significant or marginally significant in the univariate analyses.

In addition, there was a marginally significant effect of removal to increase graminoid production, because graminoid production was significantly greater under MBL removal than in controls.

The EBCTCG meta-analyses showed also a marginally significant 20% decrease in CBC risk after adjuvant chemotherapy [ 17 ].

SAFE implements a rank-based global statistics that enables a better use of marginally significant genes than those based on a p -value cutoff.

In the latter case the size of the model space would need to be reduced, perhaps by a strategy of seeking interactions of all SNPs with those SNPs showing marginally significant association.

Described associations between PPARG polymorphisms and breast carcinoma are also discrepant: some researchers see a marginally significant increase in the risk of breast cancer among women homozygous for the Ala allele of PPAR γ (Pro12Ala), causing a reduction in the transcriptional activity of PPAR γ 2 [ 35 ], while others stress that carriers of the same variant allele are at lower risk [ 36 ].

The only reliable change in HRV was a marginally significant increase in SDNN.

Furthermore, only one study found a marginally significant difference in serum levels between infected and noninfected patients with SIRS [ 15 ].

Because marginally significant heterogeneity was detected in these analyses (Table 5 ), we further examined associations stratified by ethnicity.

A significance level of p≤0.05 was used throughout; comparisons in which 0.1≤p≤0.05 are defined as marginally significant.

Stage at diagnosis was found to be marginally significant and it was decided to control for it in the multivariate analysis.

In the non-significant maternally expressed imprinted genes, Ppp1r9a, Asb4 , Calcr and Ube3a have been reported as being imprinted in brain [38] – [41] , and they all have a marginally significant P -value.

[2] , [7] In the study by Frank et al [2] gender was marginally significant only for harassment by preclinical professors (males vs females, 11% vs 7%) but not for harassment by all other groups.

The proportion surviving in the initial crosses showed no evidence for nuclear additive or non-reciprocal interaction effects, marginally significant nuclear dominance and maternal effects, and a significant paternal effect (Table 1 ).

We deemed p < 0.05 statistically significant and 0.05 < p < 0.10 marginally significant.

Indeed, if this in vivo validation is not at least marginally significant it is not of interest to proceed further to test the classification null hypothesis.

Again, this result is marginally significant but quite large in magnitude.

A change between presurvey and postsurvey was deemed statistically significant if the p value was <0.05 and marginally significant if <0.10.

In the present study, animals exposed to uCMS displayed marginally significant decreases in the percentage of time spent in the open arms of the EPM, suggesting the induction of a mildly anxious phenotype.

There was marginally significant evidence that year of diagnosis had an effect on survival for chondrosarcoma, with risk of death decreasing by 10% for each year of the study period (HR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.80–1.02; P= 0.09).

Although almost all patients showed better performance with slower presentation rates, the effect did never reach significance in any patient except for patient LH5 who showed a marginally significant effect before surgery.

Our results partly support these results as our data showed a marginally significant association between alcohol use and FTND.

To conclude that MT improved the behavior of the older sample of children, that it provided a ‘marginally significant’ increase in IQ, or that it ‘appears to be a viable therapy for promoting greater daily functioning and communication’ based on within-group analyses is misleading, because any or all of those pre–post effects could be observed as a result of the aforementioned threats even if MT was wholly ineffective.
