“nearly approached significance”

A stepwise linear regression analysis indicated that body regions (back, chest) nearly approached significance when evaluating the pain symptoms and number of surgeries ( p =0.054).

In addition, transgenic mice displayed a significant decrease in the osteoid volume over bone volume (OV/BV) only in females (67.9%, P = 0.012), while such decrease nearly approached significance in males (67.3%, P = 0.054) (Fig. 4F ).

This may explain why our correlation between changes in erector spinae %FI and changes in kinesiophobia nearly approached significance ( p = 0.072).

Lastly, the comparison of the C7-CSVL nearly approached significance, with means of 13.94 mm in the surgical group and 11.79 mm in the non-surgical group ( P = 0.089).

There were moderate between group effects indicating a reduction in overall voice severity, which nearly approached significance despite the small sample size (F (1,31) = 3.00, p = .09) ( Bell et al., 2020 ).

A further subpopulation analysis, including 70 patients (85%) without metastases at presentation, revealed that rWIR as a binary variable nearly approached significance, suggesting an association with EFS (HR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.0–5.2) ( Table 3 ). rWIR as a continuous variable was significantly associated with EFS (HR: 0.7; 95% CI: 0.5–0.9).

Additionally, LS reported lower perseverance compared to MS ( p = .04), and nearly approached significance in comparison with HS.

Increasing the producing effort had a minor effect only: while their performance as a group nearly approached significance, they (with the notable exception of one bird) chose the baited cup only marginally above 50%; a similarly small effect has also been reported in an object-choice task in lemurs with photographic representation of conspecific models ( Ruiz et al., 2009 ).
