Excerpts

The composite index IIC showed a trend toward higher values in the caries group, although this did not reach statistical significance.

However, several regions, particularly within limbic and cerebellar structures, showed nominally significant (uncorrected) group differences.

(ii) Technical parameters: analysis based on slice thickness showed a trend toward higher specificity for acquisitions ≥1 mm compared to <1 mm (approximately 90% vs. 84%), although this difference was not statistically significant ( p ≈ 0.06).

However, the non-suture group showed a trend toward higher rates of postoperative bile leakage and endoscopic treatment.

While these relative mediator effects were attenuated compared to absolute values (reflecting shared variance removal and reduced power), their directional consistency and near-significant effects in the primary cohort suggest that the observed mediation is not purely a magnification artifact.

26%, p = 0.007) and showed a trend toward fewer cardiopulmonary events.

In this context, some nominally significant or borderline-significant findings before multiplicity correction would be expected by chance alone.

Further analysis revealed a positive trend between anxiety severity and the magnitude of self-informant discrepancies on hyperactivity-impulsivity.

Across all time categories, a positive trend test using logistic regression indicated a potential association between longer OLV duration and the occurrence of postoperative pneumonia.

After six months the LCD group showed weight loss and metabolic benefits, in terms of improved insulin sensitivity, and significantly higher ketone levels, with a favorable trend toward longer PSA doubling time.

However, our results show that only the TBI showed a significant correlation to the clinical symptoms of patients with MAC, while the PWI was almost significant as well.

Gender distribution approached significance but did not reach significance (chi-square p = 0.087).

The measurement of the sub-model showed adequate convergence with all indicator loadings highly significant ( Table 3 ).

Higher QCE values also showed a positive trend toward greater arm pain reduction; however, this association did not reach statistical significance.

In our study, receipt of radiotherapy was independently associated with better survival, and longer chemotherapy duration showed a favorable trend in exploratory analysis.

Longer chemotherapy duration showed a trend toward improved survival in grade 4 gliomas.

Sex showed borderline significance, whereas KPS, tumor size, preoperative epilepsy, and Ki-67 were not significantly associated with OS.

Lower weight-adjusted doses of midazolam and propofol showed a trend toward association with flap loss, but these findings did not reach statistical significance after correction for multiple testing.

The STEMI group also showed a trend toward lower platelet counts; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance.

This near-significant threshold highlights a direct dose–response relationship, indicating that greater absolute activation of the expansion appliance yields a corresponding volumetric and spatial advancement of point A.

The within-subject microbiological data (n = 10) suggested a numerical trend toward greater bacterial-burden reduction with HACCP’ER than with benzalkonium chloride, but the between-arm difference did not reach statistical significance.

Umbilical artery pH demonstrated a negative trend with increasing sFlt-1/PlGF values; however, this association did not reach statistical significance after adjustment (estimated change −0.0076 per doubling; p = 0.070).

The propofol group showed significantly increased VRT, indicating poorer sustained attention, while the sevoflurane group showed a trend in the same direction.

Many top-ranked features showed absolute Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients exceeding 0.65, with highly significant p -values even after Bonferroni correction ( Table 11 and Table 12 ).

Despite a clear trend indicating higher VEGF levels in the tumor group, the statistical analysis did not find these differences to be statistically significant.
