“a trend towards significance”

In the [60–70] and ≥70 years group no significant differences were registered although there was a trend towards significance in higher frequencies.

However, in their concluding experiments only a trend towards significance over the randomly labeled approach could be established.

When the analysis was restricted to cotton workers ( n = 244), an association between occupational endotoxin exposure and lung mass was still detected, with a trend towards significance in the associations between occupational exposure and percent emphysema and 15th percentile density.

P values falling within the range of 0.05 to 0.05/N were interpreted as indicative of a trend towards significance since if N > 1, 0.05/N is smaller than 0.05. 3.

However, the effect imparted by TZD use demonstrated only a trend towards significance in this pilot study.

The average time to complete union for the allograft group was 3.52 months (± 1.58) and the control group was 4.36 months (± 2.20); union times between groups did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.09) but did demonstrate a trend towards significance (Figure 1.) Maintenance of surgical correction was observed in all patients.

HRQoL was also greater in golfers which was significant for EQ5D VAS with a trend towards significance in EQ5D Index.

The comparison of X-ray images immediately after surgery and at the 6-month follow-up revealed a difference in dorsal collapse (statistically significant) between both groups and a trend towards significance in radial height shortening (GP2); however, no significant change in volar tilting or radial inclination was detected (Table 3 , Fig. 5 ).

Consistent with previous findings, the current study found smoking does not appear to influence OS despite a trend towards significance, perhaps a product of our modest cohort size, lessened statistical power, or short follow-up time.

We showed an association of the EASIX, s-EASIX, and a trend towards significance for the m-EASIX calculated at pre-LD with ICANS grade ≥ 2, although the predictive performance of these scores is only moderate.

Similarly, a trend towards significance was observed for younger age between 11-30 years when compared to >60 years ( Table 2 ).

Interestingly, DM did not confer an increased risk of cirrhosis, although there was a trend towards significance.

We found an association between antibiotic intolerance and smear positivity on sputum culture, and a trend towards significance in association with advanced age, high burden of comorbid illness, the use of amikacin liposomal inhalation suspension, pre-existing liver disease and receipt of a solid organ or bone marrow transplant.

Although most previous studies reported nonsignificant findings, some studies showed a trend towards significance for smaller amygdala volumes in PTSD [ 31 – 34 ].

Although due to the sample size, colonization differences in control and vaccinated animals were non-significant when data were analyzed by the Fisher’s exact test, a trend towards significance was observed when the relative risk was calculated (Table 1 ).

Evidences supporting this fact include: 1) this IL18 variant showed the most significant P-value and the higher effect size; 2) the statistical significance of both rs2043055 and rs1946518 was lost after conditioning on rs360719, whereas a trend towards significance was clearly observed for rs360719 after conditioning on rs2043055 or rs1946518; 3) no improvement in the goodness of fit for the model considering the association with rs360719 was observed for any of the haplotypic models; and 4) this IL18 variant has a demonstrated functional implication in the gene expression [ 28 ].

In terms of mean κ values, sleep stage 1 exhibits a larger value than waking only at the 250 Hz sampling rate, with only a trend towards significance at Δ t = 0.04 and 0.4 sec, and no difference at Δ t = 4 sec ( Table 4 ).

Though migraineurs used digital media more often, it resulted in no significant difference, only mobile phone (U = 563, p = 0.097) showed a trend towards significance, with migraineurs spending more median time with their mobile phones.

Pregnancy‐onset ITP was associated with a higher complication rate (28.5%) compared to pre‐pregnancy ITP (23.2%) with a P value of 0.08 which did not reach statistical significance but rather a trend towards significance if the power of the study was larger. 5 Strengths and Limitations Our study presents several notable strengths, including being one of the largest cohorts examining ITP in pregnancy in Qatar, a country with a young, multiethnic population and access to free maternal healthcare, with comprehensive representation of Middle Eastern demographics and detailed documentation of platelet counts throughout pregnancy and postpartum period.

A trend towards significance was interpreted as a p value between 0.05 and 0.1.

This may be due to insufficient power, as there was a trend towards significance among patients with dementia.

TPA/BSA showed a trend towards significance; the combined model had the highest discriminating power for the combined endpoint [C‐index 0.751 (95% CI: 0.652–0.850)] (see Figure 3 ). 4.

For ACD there was a statistically significant difference when all eyes were analyzed and a trend towards significance only when one eye per patient was considered.

Other factors such as smoking, fracture patterns, and bone graft use only showed a trend towards significance based on univariate analysis and, thus, were not included in the multivariate model.

However, the survival curves for the post-treatment FMISO TNR did demonstrate a trend towards significance, with p-value of 0.16 for PFS and 0.14 for OS ( Figures 4A, B ).
