“near-significant”

3 ) and a corresponding near-significant effect on core area size, and these effects were realized only at the local level.

Across both indices, diversity increased with larval stage, but the Shannon index model had a near-significant interaction of stage and treatment as NI larvae showed no change in diversity across different stages ( Fig. 2B ; Fig.

Second, the near-significant FT3–JTcFd association warrants investigation in larger cohorts with broader hormonal ranges, where adequate statistical power may reveal a genuine, albeit modest, monotonic dependency obscured by the restricted dynamic range of the present sample. 3.3.

28 observed that preoperative carbohydrate use was associated with a near-significant reduction in the overall rate of perioperative complications in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries.

• Time since surgery showed a near-significant effect on perception, while age and education were not significantly associated. • The findings highlight the importance of culturally sensitive counseling and open discussion of body image in breast cancer care in Pakistan.

Other near-significant associations were found between parental status and employment, where clients who had children prior to attending the 2nd Floor were more likely to be working at follow-up than those without children (36.4% vs 0%), X 2 (1, N = 30), P = .055, V = 0.364.

A test of interaction between gender and pancreas-kidney transplantation was near-significant (HR 1.39; 95% CI 0.98–1.96, p-value 0.06).

We found significant or near-significant associations in expenditure and caloric intake between ‘unhealthy’ and imported foods as well as between imported foods and obesity, though inferences based on these associations should be made carefully due to data constraints.

The near-significant correlation between increases in roe deer density and incidence of TBE in the alpine provinces of north-eastern Italy partially supports our hypothesis that large vertebrate hosts could play a crucial role in TBE upsurge.

A near-significant correlation was found between reward-based cognitive inflexibility and OCD-symptoms.

We are well aware of the limitation in the study by having investigated the effect of acute exercise in only six subjects, leaving us in some cases with near-significant trends.

Given the near-significant result, further studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to explore this potential interaction more definitively.

Effect sizes are reported for significant and near-significant contrasts to facilitate interpretation of the magnitude of group differences.

These variables were significant or near-significant risk factors in the univariate analysis.

Accordingly, near-significant differences between cases and controls (Type II error) may still reflect potentially interesting observations.

Sports and exercise participation during the first trimester of pregnancy is not associated with an increased risk of delivering a small for gestational age (GA) neonate but is rather associated with a near-significant 17% reduction in the risk of delivering a large for GA neonate.

There was a near-significant interaction in Word reading between pre-post training and all the trained groups (except the CG), suggesting a possible generalized enhancement.

The selection of secondary outcomes with significant (or near-significant) differences between groups for reporting despite unclear clinical significance was a recurring concern [ 37 , 39 , 40 , 45 , 47 , 48 , 51 ].

The near-significant inverse association with APACHE II in this group raises the possibility of a “ceiling effect,” whereby severe obesity constrains metabolic responsiveness regardless of acute physiological stress [ 43 ].

Although no significant interaction was observed in the internal dataset, significant or near-significant interactions were identified in two external cohorts ( S6 Table ).

This result is in line with the review by Corrini et al, 25 which reported a significant association between effect and session time and a near-significant association with total training volume.

If the four models for the unaware respondents ( Tables 2 – 5 ) are compared with an equivalent set of models where all participants are included—without an interaction term for guise and awareness —results look decidedly different, indicating a significant or near-significant effect for Guise for all locales (see Tables A9 – A12 , in the Appendix , section “Further Results of Mixed-Effects Models,” see also Figure 1 , lower graphs (b)).

In the last phase of this study, all the statistically significant or near-significant variables demonstrated in this revised TO-PIRO Score (rTO-PIRO) were analyzed and used to build up the SORRISO Score.

The addition of a heel cup to fencing shoes resulted in a significant or near-significant reduction in these forces compared to not using a heel cup, but there was no significant difference compared to wearing court shoes.

This borderline result may represent either a true difference undetected due to insufficient power (Type II error) or a chance finding, and should be considered when interpreting near-significant findings.
