borderline significantP = 0.0511.0× alphagold
Statistical analysis revealed that whilst the abundance of most bacterial DNA, at different taxonomic levels, was unaffected by disease status, the abundance of Raoultella was borderline significant (P = 0.051) and observed as the almost exclusive presence of this organism’s DNA in the synovial fluid of RA patients only ( Fig 3 ).
borderline significantp = 0.0511.0× alphagold
This means that a strongly nonsignificant p -value is equally likely to be treated by publication selection bias and dropped with an equal probability in the case of publication bias as it is in the case of p-hacking (e.g., borderline significant results, p = 0.051 or far off p = 0.9).
In contrast, MG1655 vaginal wash titers and uterine histology scores suggest a different relationship in which higher bacterial numbers were seen alongside higher uterine inflammatory scores, but a positive correlation did not quite reach statistical significance ( P = 0.0512) ( Fig 7F ).
showed a trendp = 0.05151.0× alpha
When analysed according to HIV status, HIV- women who delivered preterm showed a trend for lower γδ T cell frequencies than HIV- women who delivered at term and this was particularly evident in the first trimester (p = 0.0515) ( Fig 4F and 4G ). γδ T cell frequencies were also lower in the first trimester in HIV+ women who delivered preterm compared to HIV+ women who delivered at term, but this difference was not statistically significant ( Fig 4F ).
a trend towards significancep = .05171.0× alpha
The three patients with non-significant difference from the healthy control group were the LIS patient (which was expected to have normal ICD since his consciousness level is identical to a healthy control), one Coma patient (which showed a trend towards significance, p = .0517) and one VS patient (which would be expected to have decreased correlation values).
