“barely significant”

One can then test if the curve here is left skewed, with fewer highly significant than barely significant results, indicative of P -hacking [ 10 , 22 ].

Results Analysis of haplotypes from 574 samples showed that island-wide substructure was barely significant in a spatial analysis of molecular variance (SAMOVA).

Finally, albeit only barely significant, cg22336863 ( ABRA ) showed hypermethylation, along with hypomethylation of several DMPs within the HLA gene complex.

Barely significant 3.

However, all the patients have been recipients of chemotherapy, and the difference in the HLA expression was barely significant.

The mean values were about 50% higher than for the previous group, but the differences were barely significant statistically.

First, the difference is barely significant (line 268).

They have small risk ratios, barely significant p-values, or no actionable recourse.

In 2 and 6, any difference of Δ and Θ from zero is either insignificant or barely significant relative to the uncertainties.

If one makes the appropriate corrections to the results, perhaps only one finding is barely significant.

No major differences in the expression patterns between adult SD and WS hearts were monitored although SD rats expressed slightly higher levels of genes involved in immune system function, regeneration and collagen biogenesis whereas WS rats showed a barely significant enrichment of cuticular plate components (data not shown).

When treatment duration was excluded, the association between poorer survival with age persisted, whereas with having been treated via DOTS strategy, was barely significant.

Finally, no interactions between the two treatments and ponds were detected, except a barely significant interaction between temperature and pond.

Oddly, CDD-NINO3.4 has significant correlations in the winter months, while HDD is barely significant at some lead times in the fall through spring.

Instead of the usual surplus of normal AO cells in the spleen there was a barely significant deficit (3%) and instead of the usual deficit in the thoracic duct population there was a variable surplus averaging 11%.

Thus, although SETDB1 and ATF7IP sgRNAs were actually already significantly enriched at T18 after just the BSD selection, their expression versus background was barely significant.

There are further problems, such as selectively removing outliers that result in significant findings, interpreting nonsignificant p -values in small samples as ‘trends toward significance’ (but not interpreting barely significant p -values as trends toward nonsignificance), and using one-sided tests over two-sided tests to obtain desired results, 30 discussed in Love. 38 All these problems jointly threaten both internal validity and statistical conclusion validity, as it remains unclear whether the conclusions are supported by the data and if other explanations might be more plausible for the effects observed.

In addition, fail-safe N calculations suggested that 9,745 studies reporting no significant results would be required to bring the estimated overall r down to a barely significant level ( 88 ).

We observed a barely significant but clinically relevant change in VO 2peak that could be explained by factors such as an inadequate training dose (frequency, intensity, volume), insufficient to promote changes in fitness, and interindividual variability.

In each cell line, SI113, as single agents, significantly reduced the number of viable cells, as expected, whereas the effect of the sole H 2 O 2 was barely significant, somehow comparable to the effect of the single radiation treatment.

After oral glucose gavage, there are observable differences between the glucose excursions in animals with and without receptor deletions, but they are small and barely significant.

A second gene, PBANKA_145120 (RGR CI: 1.01–1.25) is barely significant and may represent a false positive.

These expanded CSF T cells were enriched for cryptococcal-antigen specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells that are critical in protection from the fungus [ 39 ], secreting the protective cytokine, IFN-γ [ 40 ] as well as a lack of highly elevated CSF levels of typical T-cell specific Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 (IL13 was barely significant)[ 41 ], or typical Th17 cytokines IL-17 or GM-CSF (also not shown).

In addition, an increased risk for men was observed in the first 3 days after transition which was barely significant (RR 1.155, 95 % CI 1.000–1.334).

Only cognitive function reveals barely significant associations.
