“narrowly missed statistical significance”

[ 24 ] showed that patients with steatosis had higher LSM values, although they narrowly missed statistical significance.

The medial tibial plateau sagittal length (MTPSL) was slightly greater in the MMPRT group compared with controls, although this difference narrowly missed statistical significance. Traditionally, a shorter sagittal plateau length has been theorized to reduce the tibial articular surface available for meniscal excursion, thereby increasing localized contact stresses on the posterior root during flexion.

Although this narrowly missed statistical significance, the direction and magnitude were consistent with our BMIp models. 3.3.
