In contrast, borderline significant differences were observed in the ID values under axial load alone or when combined with lateral bending.

Post-treatment comparisons revealed a highly significant difference in the mean mTNS and risk of falling index (RFI) values between groups, favoring the group that received game-like exercises, while no significant difference was observed in the sway index of sensory integration (SI) ( p = 0.174).

p < 0.1 was considered a statistical trend (‘near-significant’) given the exploratory nature of this analysis.

Using the multivariate statistical regression, we identified 19 variables with statistically significant or near-significant differences through univariate analysis.

Defining Perioperative Complications Given the rarity of any one single complication and the statistical power required to show a significant trend, we present herein a composite outcome which we call perioperative complications.

Diabetes mellitus showed a borderline significant relationship with tooth loss.

Logistic regression revealed more than double the odds of high tooth loss among diabetic patients (OR 2.20, 95% CI 0.99–4.92, p = 0.054), though this result narrowly missed statistical significance.

As a result of continuous advances in digital technologies, their integration into clinical practice has become a notable trend.

Consequently, Type I error inflation is possible, and nominally significant findings, particularly at later time points, should be interpreted cautiously.

This can therefore be regarded as a positive trend.

Patients who underwent DH and OH showed no significant differences in pain intensity assessed using the VAS ( p = 0.15), although a nonsignificant trend toward higher pain scores was noted in the OH group ( Table 7 ).

Although the linear effect of d is only marginally significant, the combined contribution of d 2 and the interaction term d·α underscores the importance of accurate fracture reduction and correct alignment of the applied force vector.

However, despite this improvement, 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) and 8-dehydrocholesterol (8-DHC) levels remained markedly elevated and even showed an increasing trend over time.

Egger’s test for publication bias revealed a marginally significant bias, with an intercept of −9.86 (95% CI: −22.82 to 3.10) and a two-tailed p -value of 0.082, suggesting that publication bias may have modestly influenced the findings.

Conclusions: Insomnia symptoms showed a trend toward a positive association with higher BMI, primarily among older women, suggesting an age-dependent relationship between sleep disturbances and body weight.

These relationships were more apparent in pregnant women of AMA for sleep quality and showed a trend with increasing gestational age.

This hypothesis is also supported by the present study, which shows that pregnant women of AMA tended to present with significantly higher rates of chronic disease (possibly greater inflammation), had more children and employment rates (likely more work-family conflicts), and were less likely to meet PA recommendations during pregnancy (borderline significant).

In contrast, protein-related biomarkers often exhibit a decreasing trend during CS.

In HFpEF, Virtue showed a trend toward better alignment with congestion burden and performed similarly to established echocardiographic indices.

Other studies revealed a nonsignificant trend indicating lower mean VD levels with increasing ED severity.

We observed a low annual hospital-based incidence of approximately 2–3 first EGPA-coded hospitalizations per 1,000,000 inhabitants, with a decreasing trend between 2014 and 2019 and a marked disruption in 2020 coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a return to pre-pandemic levels thereafter.

After propensity score matching, SGLT2is use showed a trend towards reduced all-cause mortality or major adverse cardiovascular events but no significant risk reduction.

That study also demonstrated a clear trend of higher MBL in implants placed in the upper jaw and in smokers, with the combination of these two factors further increasing the likelihood of early marginal bone remodeling [ 37 ].

In contrast, a qSOFA score ≥ 2 showed a trend toward a longer hospital stay (IRR [expβ] = 1.27; 95% CI, 0.90–1.78), although this association was not statistically significant.

rhBMP-2 use was not associated with higher odds of complications and showed a nonsignificant trend toward higher odds of fusion. 3.3.
