“marginally significant”

Conversely, in a Finnish population of smokers, higher baseline blood α -tocopherol has been associated with a marginally significant increase in the risk of cardial GC ( Nouraie et al , 2005 ).

The samples have been split into two sets in order to save DNA and reduce genotyping costs: the first set ( n =2271 cases and 2280 controls) is genotyped for all SNPs and the second set ( n =2203 cases and 2280 controls) is then tested for those SNPs that show marginally significant associations in set 1 ( P -heterogeneity or P -trend <0.1).

The combined group of likely mutation carriers (probabilities of 0.67, 0.50 and 0.25) had a marginally significant, modest 60% increase in the risk for breast cancer, but no increase in risk with higher likelihood of being a mutation carrier ( Table 1 ).

We have no explanation for our finding of a marginally significant, 23% increase breast cancer, based on a total of 139 observed cases.

Allium vegetable intake was found to be associated with a marginally significant reduction in endometrial cancer risk among thinner women (OR=0.70, 95% CI=0.47–1.06, for the highest quartile).

Covariates in the final models included age, level of education, household income, occupational activity status, and smoking which were significant or marginally significant in the univariate analyses.

In addition, there was a marginally significant effect of removal to increase graminoid production, because graminoid production was significantly greater under MBL removal than in controls.

The EBCTCG meta-analyses showed also a marginally significant 20% decrease in CBC risk after adjuvant chemotherapy [ 17 ].

SAFE implements a rank-based global statistics that enables a better use of marginally significant genes than those based on a p -value cutoff.

In the latter case the size of the model space would need to be reduced, perhaps by a strategy of seeking interactions of all SNPs with those SNPs showing marginally significant association.

Described associations between PPARG polymorphisms and breast carcinoma are also discrepant: some researchers see a marginally significant increase in the risk of breast cancer among women homozygous for the Ala allele of PPAR γ (Pro12Ala), causing a reduction in the transcriptional activity of PPAR γ 2 [ 35 ], while others stress that carriers of the same variant allele are at lower risk [ 36 ].

The only reliable change in HRV was a marginally significant increase in SDNN.

Furthermore, only one study found a marginally significant difference in serum levels between infected and noninfected patients with SIRS [ 15 ].

Because marginally significant heterogeneity was detected in these analyses (Table 5 ), we further examined associations stratified by ethnicity.

SDs located within these inversions showed a slight increase in divergence (highly significant for old SDs and marginally significant for young SDs).

A p-value of 0.05 or less was considered to be significant, and p-values between 0.05 – 0.1 were considered to be marginally significant.

Linkage disequilibrium measures are highly significant between SNPs rs1327328 and rs7326018 and SNP rs4284505, located next to a cluster of microRNAs, and marginally significant with SNP rs9583760, located within LOC121727 (similar to Peroxisome assembly protein 12 (Peroxin-12) (Peroxisome assembly factor 3) (PAF-3)).

This is precisely what we found in the secondary finger-tapping task: performance declined during finger-tapping relative to no-secondary-task (Experiment 1, and marginally significant behavioral effect in Experiment 2), yet the pars opercularis still showed a sentence complexity effect.

There was a marginally significant secondary (δ p ) effect of the exclosure treatment for B. nana leaves, while graminoids showed a significant primary (δ p ) response to the exclosure treatment (Table 2 ) (see Methods for definitions of the terms "secondary" and "primary" in relation to plant biomass dynamics).

In the present study, animals exposed to uCMS displayed marginally significant decreases in the percentage of time spent in the open arms of the EPM, suggesting the induction of a mildly anxious phenotype.

There was marginally significant evidence that year of diagnosis had an effect on survival for chondrosarcoma, with risk of death decreasing by 10% for each year of the study period (HR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.80–1.02; P= 0.09).

Although almost all patients showed better performance with slower presentation rates, the effect did never reach significance in any patient except for patient LH5 who showed a marginally significant effect before surgery.

Our results partly support these results as our data showed a marginally significant association between alcohol use and FTND.

To conclude that MT improved the behavior of the older sample of children, that it provided a ‘marginally significant’ increase in IQ, or that it ‘appears to be a viable therapy for promoting greater daily functioning and communication’ based on within-group analyses is misleading, because any or all of those pre–post effects could be observed as a result of the aforementioned threats even if MT was wholly ineffective.

In men without baseline IHD, marginally significant effects were observed for days worked per week and average annual work hours.
