“statistically close to significance”

Further, Although the results from earlier stages (I~III) of PCa were statistically close to significance, low miR-16 expression was still observed in many individual cases.

Statistical analysis indicates that this positive correlation between R 2 and CBF was statistically close to significance (p CBF <0.1) in only three WM brain regions ( table 1 ), namely the whole brain, the occipital lobes and the cerebellum GM.
