“a possible trend toward significance”

Of note, tumor located in the middle third of the esophagus showed a possible trend toward significance ( p = 0.050) in poor prognosis.

At multiple regression analysis, we also observed a possible trend toward significance with regard to the protective role of HLA-A-Bw4 HLA alleles ( p = 0.05) and of interaction between KIR 2DS2 and HLA-C2 alleles ( p = 0.05) towards LAAS subtype of stroke (see Table 7 ).

A possible trend toward significance was found in the expression of the MIR126 gene ( p = 0.051), the MIR133A1 gene ( p = 0.076), the MIR143 gene ( p = 0.08), and the MIR320A gene ( p = 0.095) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Difference with a possible trend toward significance ( p = 0.052) in paw withdrawal threshold was observed among the IAM group and the IAS group (Fig. 2 d).

However, as shown in Supplementary Figure S3B , a possible trend toward significance showing an association between SETDB1 expression and NSCLC patients carrying mutations for the TP53 gene was observed (SMD: 0.15; 95% CI: −0.004–0.31; p = 0.052), with low heterogeneity ( I 2 = 0%; p = 0.60).

This TNF- α increase was not statistically significant but showed a possible trend toward significance ( p = 0.0569) ( Supplemental Fig. 1 ).

There was a possible trend toward significance in the change in VAS between AcuT and AcuC groups ( p = 0.08).

Before the PS-IPTW, the results of the logistic analysis of operation methods revealed that there was a significant difference between LAG and TLG in terms of ASA score and tumor size ( p < 0.05), while age, sex, and pTNM stage showed a possible trend toward significance ( p < 0.1).

Consequently, though not statistically significant (p = 0.079), the plasma levels of adiponectin exhibited a possible trend toward significance in the EP4 agonist–treated group ( Fig 5B ), suggesting that polarization of ATMs toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype balanced adipokine secretion and improved insulin sensitivity in obese mice.

In the last week, no significant difference was observed in body weight or food intake between the two groups ( p = 0.3 and 0.065, respectively); however, the p-value for food intake suggests a possible trend toward significance that may warrant further exploration.

Besides, we also observed an enrichment of Moserle IFN-α response gene set between patients with and without aGVHD at a possible trend toward significance (NES = 1.89, FDR q-value = 0.051; Fig. 6 B iii and C iii).

For those who did complete the outcome measures, there was some indication of improved parenting skill and confidence after 4 weeks of use and a possible trend toward significance in improved parental well-being.

The mean buccolingual inclination of the maxillary first molars of the hyperdivergent group was 1.6° larger than that of the normodivergent and hypodivergent groups, with a possible trend toward significance.
