“marginally significant”

Line 221 – It is inappropriate to call a non-significant relationship “marginally significant”.

Excessive accumulation of proline in vegetative stage under 150 mM NaCl and 1 mM SA treatment with marginally significant increase in proline indicates increased water retention to sustain membrane integrity.

(2) The interaction between learning materials and learning strategies was marginally significant.

We spotted a marginally significant ACT benefit on DFS and OS in patients with PNI (Fig. 2 ), however, no significant benefits were observed in other clinicopathological subgroups.

However, subtle, marginally significant differences emerged when comparing the effect of TA with SA, in line with known concerns available from the literature [ 50 ] on the reliability of using placebo needles as control arm.

Furthermore, we observed a marginally significant accession-by-treatment interaction for biomass, suggesting different accessions tended to have different responses to the salt stress.

A 5% level of significance was adopted, and variables with a p -value slightly above that value were also accepted, which were considered marginally significant.

The combination of qualitative (presence/absence) and quantitative (normalized abundance) data suggest that approximately 38% of the original fruit mycobiota (i.e., species composition) remains in the fecal samples, even though the overall comparison of fruit and fecal fungal assemblages yielded marginally significant differences (Fig. 2 ).

Results Māori ethnicity was a significant predictor of the odds of receiving a cannabis conviction for Māori males (Odds: 1.56), with a marginally significant effect for Māori females (Odds: 1.57).

As shown in Table 5 , the two literacy questions: (1) HPV can be transmitted even without any HPV symptoms (OR= 1.56, CI [1.12, 2.18]), and (2) Young adult men should receive the HPV vaccine (OR= 1.44, CI [0.996, 2.08], p=.053) were significant or marginally significant predictors of HPV vaccination completion.

The mediating effects of cognitive empathy (on vaccine beliefs, B = − .04, SE = .02, 90% CI [− .074, − .001]; on vaccination intention, B = − .07, SE = .04, 90% CI [− .131, − .002]) and self-referencing (on vaccine beliefs, B = − .06, SE = .03, 90% CI [− .114, − .001]; on vaccination intention, B = − .13, SE = .08, 90% CI [− .263, − .002]) were marginally significant (tested using 90% confidence intervals).

Self-care and amount of exercise per week were significantly different by intervention, and relationship status was marginally significant by intervention.

As many of these CH and blood cell traits are interrelated, we report associations that do not adjust for stringent multiple testing corrections and caution against the overinterpretation of marginally significant associations.

However, a marginally significant association was observed for BC and DBP in both log linear exposure and categorical exposure models after removing the highest 1% of exposure measurements ( Table S9 ). 4 Discussion This is the first study to examine the relationship between HAP and gestational blood pressure using quantitively measured personal exposures and blood pressure among pregnant Indian women using solid fuels in their early pregnancy.

Regarding the effect of the instrumental goal, a 2 × 3 ANOVA revealed a marginally significant effect: the participants who read about the need to embark on a challenging trip to perform the surgery reported a higher proneness ( M = 43.33, SD = 33.50) than those who read about the nonchallenging trip ( M = 34.82, SD = 33.92); F (1,230) = 3.71, p = 0.055, η p 2 = 0.16 (see Fig. 6 a and b).

26 The only placebo-controlled double-blind RCT included in our review on lamotrigine 23 showed a marginally significant difference in improvement in adaptive social behaviours but did not show any inter-group difference for any of the other outcomes.

Effects of Experimental Warming and Increased Precipitation on ANPP community , ANPP sedge , ANPP graminoid , ANPP forb , Species and Phylogenetic Diversity, and Enviromental Variables There were significant main effects of experimental warming on ANPP sedge , ANPP forb , species richness, Shannon, PD, MNTD, species composition, and phylogenetic composition; significant or marginally significant main effects of increased precipitation on ANPP community , species composition, and phylogenetic composition; and significant interactive effects of experimental warming and increased precipitation on species composition and phylogenetic composition, respectively ( Table 1 and Table 2 ).

Likewise, S-RBP was associated with lower Hb, though marginally significant (−2.0 g/L (95% CI: −4.1; 0.2)).

After we corrected for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni), the reduced tendency to discuss learning strategies with peers became non-significant, and the shift in discussing how to work on learning goals with peers became marginally significant (.007 with α = .0062).

[ 22 ] also found that those patients who had been diagnosed with depression in the previous year were 5.5 percentage points less likely to be adherent in the current year of the study, and this was found to be marginally significant.

First, the statistical significance was mostly driven by three data points (these individuals had inbreeding values greater than one, which is outside of theoretical limits) which once removed resulted in only a marginally significant difference.

[ 31 ] reported a marginally significant increase in HDL concentration in prefrail individuals compared to non-frail ones, while the ELSA study found no differences in total cholesterol or HDL levels between frail and non-frail subjects [ 32 ].

When compared to placebo or reference therapy, vildagliptin had a marginally significant beneficial effect on liver fat and showed a mild reduction in serum ALT levels, whereas sitagliptin did not.

The ViDA trial also did not find an effect on cancer mortality whereas the larger VITAL trial showed a marginally significant lower cancer mortality in subjects receiving vitamin D (2000 IU/d), especially when deaths during the first 2 years of follow up were excluded.

The associations remained significant or marginally significant in both urban (Yangon) and rural (Bago) areas, even after they were stratified by region.
