In the literature

Overall, there was a borderline significant positive association between subclinical hypothyroidism and high nitrate exposure (age- and BMI-adjusted OR = 1.32; 95% CI: 1.0-1.68), with further analyses revealing the association to be present in women (OR = 1.60; 95% CI: 1.11-2.32), but not in men (OR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.63-1.52).
Additionally, it is important to note some results were borderline significant, particularly the relationships between unsupportive ES behaviors and psychological symptoms in both correlation and regression analyses, and the relationship between supportive and unsupportive ES behaviors approached but did not reach statistical significance.
50 , 58 , 67 A pooled subgroup meta-analysis of BREAST-Q scores from 3 studies (2 Wise and 1 vertical) revealed borderline significant differences in psychosocial well-being, with the Wise pattern scoring higher compared with the vertical pattern (MRAW: 82.01; 95% CI: 77.69–86.32 versus MRAW: 69.83; 95% CI: 76.91–87.24) ( P = 0.05).
We also found a borderline significant increase in BC-specific mortality risk in patients with WC≥88 cm (HR = 1.75, 95% CI 0.99–3.06), as well as a statistically significantly increased risk in either all-cause or BC-specific mortality for each 10-U increase in WC (HR = 1.19, 95% CI 1.06–1.34 and HR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.11–1.48, respectively).
8 Additionally, in a recent phase II study of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, TRG and TCD showed a highly significant association and, despite the small study size, a borderline significant relationship between TCD and progression-free survival was seen. 51 We also acknowledge the possible presence of sampling errors associated with biopsies and, consequently their gene expression; validation of these results in more contemporary studies with TCD analysis, ideally with multiple biopsies taken from the same tumor to account for intratumoral heterogeneity, would be worthwhile.
