Excerpts

A Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test for 4-group comparisons of the mean ranks between groups showed highly significant differences in both genders.

This same article showed a trend which suggests that cannabis use has more detrimental effect on men than women on education, supporting an earlier study [ 53 ] which said that the effects of cannabis use on education level may be specific of sex, showing more effects on male academic performance than female.

This distribution, which was determined on the basis of 27 separately quantified PSM, was unique for IGHM and was independently observed by both the PEAKS and Proteome Discoverer algorithms, distinguishing it with a highly significant p -value from all other proteins in the volcano plot (blue arrowhead, Fig 2d ) and in box plots summarizing TMT ratios of other robustly quantified proteins ( Fig 4b ).

Blood cells showed a significant increase with age in proportion of HLA-DR + 38 + , Ki-67 + and CD25 + CD8 + T cells; and an increase in total CD3 + ex-vivo telomerase activity that approached significance.

Patients’ need to be informed on nuisance bleeding is demonstrated by the fact that almost 80% of patients in the control arm looked for it with a highly significant difference compared to the interventional arm (Table C in S1 File ).

A borderline significant effect on mortality was observed, and there was no overall effect on cardiac hypertrophy.

Since none of the individual studies showed any effect of metformin on mortality, the pooled effect estimate was barely significant and there was very low heterogeneity in the analysis (I 2 = 0%) an analysis of the influence of cause and timeframe was not deemed feasible.

Averaged total protein levels showed a trend towards increasing after exercise ( Fig 3C ), suggesting less degradation of IκBα and attenuated classical NF-κB signaling.

Active TB proportion was low and showed a decreasing trend in HIV-/HCV- and HIV+/HCV+ while it increased in HIV-/HCV+ seroconverters and remained high in HIV+ monoinfected.

Concerning chronic toxicity, cancer type had statistical significance and histology showed marginal significance in univariate analysis, but these did not lead to significant results in multivariate analysis.

The impact of those incidents is also clearly visible in the extracted energies (right panel of Fig 8 ) which show a decreasing trend from 1964 onwards.

The difference in the amount of actin sedimented of the histone mixture bundled and of the H2A histone bundled F-actin following DNase treatment is statistically highly significant.

Carbonic anhydrase 3 (CA3) was highly ranked in multivariate analysis, although only borderline significant in the univariate analysis with reduced protein levels in cases.

SSPE (isolated or multiple) were 8.8% (CI 7.1–10.5%) of all diagnosed PE with prevalence ranging from 2.0 to 15.9% of diagnosed PE, with only three marginally significant differences on pairwise comparisons.

But when focusing on the basal turn, the region where DEX is delivered from the electrode array, a highly significant increase in SGN density is observed in DEX+ES treated ears compared to ES-only treated ones.

Interestingly, our study also demonstrated that interhospital transfer is a highly significant risk factor for 14-day rehospitalization with new tSCI diagnosis (OR, 8.20).

We found that the relative abundance of several bacterial taxa differed between cases and controls, albeit marginally significant.

Our data showed a trend towards having lower ER and PR immunoreactive scores in tumors that have low BRCA1 expression which is in agreement with previous studies showing BRCA1-related breast cancers are more frequently ER negative than nonhereditary breast cancers [ 30 ].

The V85% speeds show a decreasing trend from grade -0.04 to 0.03.

Previous results showed a trend for crab larvae to be distributed in deeper layers with stage development.

These reductions are highly significant.

According to the trend analysis, a positive trend over time can be observed, but no change in the trend over time was detected.

There was an increasing trend of odds as health status attainment improved no matter whether living arrangements entered the model or not (Models 1 and 3).

Moreover, it is among the most popular leisure-time sporting activities in the population with an increasing trend in the past years [ 34 , 35 ] and is linked with significant health benefits [ 35 – 38 ].

During 2008, a borderline significant cluster was identified, cluster number 1 ( Table 1 ), but this cluster was not identified in the later time-periods and is unlikely to be associated with the opening of the M74 extension.
