For SBP, the ANCOVA test did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.050, Table 3 ).

Differentially methylation CpG sites The epigenome-wide differential methylation analysis revealed 26982 CpG sites that differed between obese and lean individuals with nominally significant p-values (p ≤ 0.05).

Multivariable modelling and the relations between predictor variables All predictor variables having shown nominally significant (p < 0.05) effects on hand preference in univariable testing (i.e. all but maternal smoking) were then included in the multivariable analysis, using general linear modelling (Methods), with hand preference as the dependent variable.

IT exhibited significantly superior BBS improvements compared to both ET and CT ( P < 0.001), while post-hoc comparisons indicated marginal significance between ET and CT ( P = 0.05).

The list contained the nearest gene within a 500 kb window to each nominally significant SNP ( P < 0.05).

A marginally significant negative correlation was also observed between HIL and pterygium thickness ( r = −0.178, P = 0.050) in this cohort (Table 5 ).

Although the physical activity, measured in METs, was higher in the high GNRI group, but this difference did not reach statistical significance (P < 0.05) (Table 1 ).

Seasonal variation and bottom salinity ( P < 0.001) exerted highly significant effects on abundance, with latitude and surface chlorophyll a ( P < 0.05) content, P. trituberculatus abundance initially increased slowly, before accelerating as the chlorophyll a concentrations increased.

As to the Levine clock, the association for obese women was marginally significant: β = 1.29, 95% CI = −0.01 to 2.58, P = 0.05.

Pearson correlation analysis revealed that out of the 12 soil factors examined, 6 of them showed highly significant correlations with EMF (Fig. 5 , P < 0.05).

Analysis of variance indicated that cultivars, PGPR and drought stress all had a highly significant (P < 0.05) effect on crop growth, tuber yield and drought indexes.

In the M2 macrophage-positive control co-culture group, the IL-1β level in the cell supernatant showed a decreasing trend ( P > 0.05), while the IL-10 level increased significantly ( P < 0.01).

However, co-treatment of MGO-challenged COCs with the TAB cocktail showed a trend towards increased Rage mRNA expression (Fig. 6 C, P > 0.05) compared to MGO-challenged COCs alone.

On the other hand, we found out that the mean age of cases caused by UTI, the second most common cause, was older than the others and showed a marginal significance in our sample population (p = 0.05).

The mean age of the cases caused by liver abscess was 56.85 ± 15.45, which showed no statistical difference (p = 0.63) comparing with the others; however, the mean age of the UTI cases was older, and was marginally significant when comparing with the others (67.30 ± 13.89, p = 0.05, Mann–whitney U test).

Results obtained showed that LOXL2 levels were significantly elevated in the serum of obese animals at 9- ( p < 0.01), and 11-weeks ( p < 0.01) when compared to age-matched controls, whereas serum levels at 6-, 14- and 16-weeks showed an increasing trend ( p > 0.05) (Fig. 3 A).

3 d, the positive areas of CK7 and CK19 were increased significantly in the BDL and BMSC Numb -KD groups compared to that in Sham ( P < 0.01) and BMSC NC ( P < 0.01) groups, respectively, while the positive area of CK19 was decreased significantly in the HQD and the HQD plus BMSC Numb -KD groups compared to that in the BDL ( P < 0.01) and BMSC Numb -KD ( P < 0.05) groups, respectively; the expression of CK7 were decreased significantly in the HQD group compared with the BDL ( P < 0.01), and CK7 showed a decreasing trend in the HQD plus BMSC Numb -KD group compared to that in the BMSC Numb -KD group, with no significant difference ( P > 0.05).

Compared with the WT control group, PCNA expression in KI mice showed significant downregulation (adjusted p < 0.05), whereas Bcl-2 expression did not reach statistical significance after multiple testing correction (unadjusted p < 0.05, adjusted p > 0.05).

RYGB showed a trend toward higher “bite” frequency ( P = 0.05, Fig. 5 f) compared to Sham, but no difference appeared for “sniff” frequency ( P = 0.14, Fig. 5 g).

We considered associations as nominally significant at P < 0.05.

Seven extremely significant recombination signals were found among isolates that were under the threshold of seven algorithms with a high acceptable P < 0.05.

Results showed that female koalas had a statistical trend of lower odds of surviving when compared to males (OR = 0.36, p = 0.05).

granatum had a slightly significant stronger free radical inhibition when compared with the Indian-based species extract (0.01 < p-value < 0.05).

Compared with subpopulations C1 and C3, the traits in C2 exhibited highly significant (P < 0.05) positive or negative association in both soil (Fig. 3 ) and hydroponics (Fig. 4 ) experiments.

Outcome metrics were calculated for the trial if either a) there was no significant trend (p > 0.05) or b) there was a significant trend (p < 0.05) and the coefficient corresponding to acceleration was below a threshold of 0.001 m/s 2 .
