“barely significant”

I would suggest changing it to “largely differ” or something similar, because they do show differences, even though barely significant.

Sox2 levels were also elevated but were barely significant ( Figure 5C ).

The expression change for autosomes after transgene induction is barely significant; and it was not clear what was used as the Ctrl?

As in the case of GPx, pre-treatment for 3 h with all four concentrations of cocoa extract significantly recovered GR activity in a dose-dependent manner between a slight (barely significant) decrease at 25 μg/mL and a through recovery of basal values at 50 and 100 ug/mL, being 200 μg/mL more effective than 25 but less effective than the two lower concentrations ( Figure 7 ).

Considering the rarity of this subset, the quantification was barely significant at single donor level, given that only four out of fourteen evaluated samples had >20 acquired events as the difference between stimulated and unstimulated samples.

Even so the difference of 10 points between JME and TLE in Pung and Schmitz was barely significant with a p value of 0.02.

At very least, our conclusions and the adoption of bold statements should be reflective of the statistical evidence; where results are barely significant, it may be more prudent to suggest that the results are indicative of something rather than that they confidently state fact.

Because of this barely significant level, we further analyzed the change in NIHSS scores (ΔNIHSS) to assess neurological function improvement post-treatment.

The mapping for average relative humidity over one year surrounding the date of isolation ( Figure 3B ) resulted in one QTL on the left arm of chromosome II, two linked QTL on the right arm of chromosome V (LD r 2 = 0.536; Figure S1 ), and one barely significant QTL on the right arm of chromosome III that is highly linked to the other three QTL (LD r 2 = 0.774, 0.777, 0.548; Figure S1 ).

As for the increased DAT mRNA expression levels found in the FM + MDD subjects, this result was barely significant, suggesting that the observed effect is rather small.

In contrast, a barely significant decrease in the detection rate for the polypoid lesion by 1.9% (from 98.4% to 96.5%) was found only in the education group.

Following the observation that a substantial proportion of CRISPRi/a guides are inefficient to affect the expression of their cognate target genes robustly and reliably, we sought to develop a method that would score the enrichment of features with low or barely significant representation changes.

Only 2 studies had CI which did not cross value of 1, yet they were barely significant ( Figure 3(B) ).

This kind of amplitude loss (>25%) would mean that the phase that was barely significant in Rychert et al.

The absurd but true notion that a coin flip provides approximately the same positive predictive value as an exact replication experiment when the initial effect is barely significant highlights an important, but little known, limitation of exact replications.

Significant associations between IFNα concentrations and the B cell activation markers (B2M, BAFF), immunoglobulin free light chains, and CCL19 were observed; however, for IFNγ, associations with these markers were weaker and barely significant (Supplementary Figures 3A and 3B , available on the Arthritis & Rheumatology website at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.42265 ).

Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) statistics across pairwise comparisons for the breakpoint-partitioned datasets (ex1br and ex2br) by AT3-1 and AT3-2 clades finds that means for all comparisons are strongly statistically significant, except : AT3-2 ex1br vs AT3-1 ex2br, which is barely significant with a p-value of 0.046; and AT3-2 ex1br vs AT3-2 ex2br which is not statistically different.

In addition, it is somewhat disturbing that measurements of PPG yielded only a very small, barely significant difference, whereas a marked difference in blood pressure (some −10/5 mmHg) was associated with the use of acarbose.

The knockdown of Rab9 suppressed Zta expression in HA cells ( p = 0.0448) at a barely significant level ( Figure 2 d).

In this work we found that the presence of a single CSEP0064/BEC1054 in planta appears to afford some protection of a major host RNA species from MeJA-induced cleavage ( Fig 6A ), but this effect is weak and barely significant on its own.

Noticeably here, while we did not find any main effect of the level of simulated gravity upon subsequent vection (although the trend was barely significant), one may speculate that previous coherent sensorimotor exposure (i.e., FFA condition) may help preserve the sensibility to visually-induced self-motion sensation (which is conversely diminished at 100% BW in our experiment).

However, the difference in the release rate between the two gel geometries was barely significant.

A comparison of the injury rates in clusters 5 and 6 shows that the difference between the two groups is barely significant.

In the SCWP group of animals stimulation of the paired D1 whisker shows a barely significant (<0.05, MWU) increase in magnitude following 15 h WP relative to the control non-whisker-paired SC condition for both the supragranular or barrel neuron populations.

Rs1799983 and rs2070744 also showed barely significant results and excessive heterogeneity with I 2 values of 80.20% and 90%, respectively.
