In the literature

A dose-response antibody effect was suggested by higher mean antibody responses in the full-dose malaria vaccine group compared to half-dose group, with these differences approaching but not reaching significance at study days 74, 90, and 180 ( p = 0.050, 0.053, and 0.079, respectively).
Publication Bias and Quality Considerations The minimal evidence of publication bias (Egger’s regression coefficient = 0.54, 95% CI: −0.18 to 1.26, p = 0.128 approaching but not reaching significance; Begg’s rank correlation tau = 0.08, p = 0.052 indicating modest asymmetry; trim-and-fill analysis identifying only two potentially missing studies with minimal effect on conclusions) suggests that findings are not substantially distorted by selective publication of positive results.
Group comparisons using the Mann–Whitney U test [ 36 ] revealed no statistically significant differences between the two independent groups for any attribute (all p > 0.05), with Q2 approaching but not reaching significance ( p = 0.069), indicating overall group comparability.
5 and Supplementary Table S4 ; Mann–Kendall testing identified a statistically significant monotonic increase in HR-HPV positivity across the 36-month observation window in both populations (urban Z = +2.74, p = 0.006; rural Z = +2.10, p = 0.036), and a parallel significant increase in any-HPV positivity in the urban population (Z = +2.78, p = 0.005), with the rural any-HPV trend approaching but not reaching significance (Z = +1.77, p = 0.077).
Patient III 1 F2 Taking into account the CBCL 6–18, scores reached the significance on the Activities, Social, and Total Competence Scale, while concerning the CBCL Syndrome scales only withdrawn/depressed were in the clinical range, with Anxious/Depressed and Thought problems approaching but not reaching significance.
