26 For the other three pathways showing borderline significance, alpha linolenic acid metabolism was discovered to downregulate human and mouse colon cancers; 27 the function of ubiquitin mediated proteolysis on cancers is also widely known. 28 For the CRC dataset, DAK identified two KEGG pathways showing genome-wide significance ( Figure 5 B and Table S3 ).
In the stratified analysis of cancer treatment, compared to cancer survivors who did not receive chemotherapy, the associations with mortality among those who received chemotherapy was significantly stronger for SA-Accel (p-interaction = 0.015) and appeared to be stronger for PhenoAgeAccel with a borderline significance (p-interaction = 0.060) (Supplementary Table 9 ).
Examples are: discussing observed differences and associations even if they are not statistically significant (the often used expression is “borderline significance”); discussing differences which are statistically significant but are not clinically meaningful; drawing conclusions about the causality, even if the study was not designed as an experiment; drawing conclusions about the values outside the range of observed data (extrapolation); overgeneralization of the study conclusions to the entire general population, even if a study was confined to the population subset; Type I (the expected effect is found significant, when actually there is none) and type II (the expected effect is not found significant, when it is actually present) errors ( 6 ).

However, for the whole population, a Cox multivariate regression model including all of the above clinical covariates, ICBT, high-risk factors (as binary covariates), and the interaction between ICBT and high-risk factors showed that this interaction had a significant effect on OS ( P interaction = .022), and had a borderline significance for DFS ( P interaction = .094).
