NS indicates difference between sAPPα immunodepleted and control groups were not significantly significant (t(4) = 1.49, p = 0.21).

The data in the present study also showed a trend of higher percentage of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P = 0.215), structural heart disease (P = 0.190), and coronary artery disease (P = 0.270) in the group with prolonged QTc although not reaching the level of statistical significance due to the small numbers.

There was a slight trend for total salivary IgG to be increased in FIV-infected cats compared to naive individuals (treatment p = 0.216), however, total IgA antibody levels did not differ in saliva from FIV-infected and sham-inoculated cats (treatment p = 0.999) ( Fig 5 ).

No other effects were significant or approached significance (all F< 1.53, all p> .22).

If we find that those elite sprinters with the best times also have the most symmetrical knees, is it because those with symmetrical knees do well in advance or is it that intensive training leads to both success and more symmetrical knees? Of course it is likely that cause and effect go in both directions, and there is a weak trend toward decreased knee FA with age in the athletes (r = −0.15, p = 0.22).

Arterial blood gas analyses (ABG) showed a trend to higher PaO 2 (REBOA 375 ± 147 mmHg vs control 277 ± 129 p = 0,220), higher pH-value (REBOA 7,37 ± 0,06 vs control 7,24 ± 0,12 p = 0,052) and less increased PaCO 2 (REBOA 38 ± 7 mmHg vs control 59 ± 21 mmHg p = 0,056) at t = 14 min.

When correcting for gestational age, elevated IL-6 approached significance as a predictor for worse developmental outcome (OR 1.025 [0.985–1.066], p = 0.221).

A significant increase was observed in hypothalamus (t 10 = 4.806, p = 0.0007) and and hippocampus (t 10 = 4.068, p = 0.0023); on the contrary, a decreasing trend was observed in the frontal cortex (t 10 = 1.3, p = 0.2229) ( Fig. 6A ).

page 10 “In the model with mortality as outcome, week-2-MP patients showed a trend for lower mortality (HR 0.48, 95%CI 0.14 to 1.57, p=0.225), whilst out-of-week-2- MP patients had an increased risk of death (HR 2.49, 95%CI 0.87 to 7.11, p= 0.088), both compared with no MP patients.“ Comparison among 2-week-MP, out-of-week-2-MP and no MP patients is critical for this study.

The summarized Z score showed a trend to more cognitive decline in the control group (2.16±5.30) compared to the RIPC group (1.14±4.02; p = 0.228).

By contrast, there was a slight trend for CMS to be positively related to the anxious-resistant pattern in both the three- and four-way classifications (Wald χ 2 = 1.45 and 2.39, p = .23 and p = .12, respectively), suggesting that these mothers tended to have higher levels of CMS, whereas mothers with anxious-avoidant infants tended to have lower levels of CMS, relative to mothers with infants categorized as secure.

However, the lipid profile did not worsen as indicated by the TC/HDL-c ratio, that although not significant showed a trend towards decline (-0.13, 95% CI -0.34, 0.09, p = 0.23).

In contrast to previous literature on endometrioid endometrial cancers, SFRP4 expression was similarly distributed in all histological subtypes of ovarian cancer ( Figure 4 A ), although in plasma, patients with endometrioid ovarian cancers showed a trend towards higher SFRP4 expression (N.S. p = 0.23; Figure 4 C ).

The BMI×Weight loss interaction terms were tested for OS, and a borderline significance was identified for the differential impact of weight loss between underweight and overweight/obese patients (normal weight×HWL vs underweight×LWL, P = 0.239; overweight/obese×HWL vs underweight×LWL, P = 0.054; Table S1 ).

The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion showed a trend toward a decrease in the anhepatic phase compared to baseline (2.0 ± 0.9 cm vs. 2.4 ± 0.7 cm; P = 0.24) but with full recovery after reperfusion.

Notably, the previously observed marginal significance for the ISR OCD scores in the full sample was not replicated in the clinical group (b = 1.62, p = .240).

No significant difference was apparent in first choice frequency between the correct corner, C, and its geometrically equivalent corner R (F(1,9) = 1.569 P = 0.242), indicating that the disorientation procedure was effective and that bumblebees did not rely on any extra- or intra-enclosure featural cues.

The odds ratio of the rs662 GA + AA (192RQ + QQ) genotype in the adenocarcinoma group (OR = 0.59, p = 0.053) was marginally significant and lower than for other histological types (squamous cell carcinoma OR = 0.76, p = 0.246; other non-small cell carcinoma OR = 0.90, p = 0.658) (data not shown).

SHOX2 methylation in plasma correlated significantly with tissue levels (Spearman’s p = 0.36, P = 0,007), while SEPT9 showed a suggestive trend (Spearman’s p = 0.25, P = 0.067).

The simple effect for high identifiers was nearly significant, r = -0.06, 95% CI (-0.12, 0.01), Q(3) = 3.62, p >.250.

All variables univariately statistically significant and marginally significant (according to Hosmer and Lemeshaw variables with p<0.250) entered the multiple logistic regression models.

Stepwise backward procedure was used for modeling by including variables with significant or marginally significant association in the bivariate logistic regression (p-value <0.25).

Spring precipitation showed an increasing trend, but there was no linear relevance (R 2 = 0.045, F = 1.381, P = 0.250; Fig 1C ).

Using 17,664 radio-days for females, annual survival rates showed an increasing trend over the 3 years, but there was no difference among years (all z-tests had P > 0.26).

When the model was fitted to the data without any restrictions (i.e., all parameters were free) the model fit fell short of significance ( PD λ = 10.16, p = .26), but there was decent evidence for the model (ΔAIC = 2.16).
