In the literature

The loss of many teeth did not result in an elevated risk of liver cancer mortality in a study involving Swedish adults (hazard ratio 1.26, 95% confidence interval 0.55‐2.90), 10 but risk of death from liver cancer was near significance in an elderly Japanese cohort (hazard ratio 1.07, 95% confidence interval 0.98‐1.17). 56 Only 13 deaths from liver cancer were recorded in this study. 11.3.
While the statistic suggests near significance of the effect of behavioural conditioning in animals treated with laminarin 1 hr prior to training the results leave no doubt (see Figure 3 A2) that, in contrast to the animals trained 24 hrs after treatment, the impact of training in this group is drastically reduced compared to their vehicle-injected counterparts (F 1,126 = 22.481, p < 0.0001 for animals trained 1 hr post-treatment and F 1,32 = 0.001, p = 0.98 for animals trained 24 hrs post-treatment).
13 In a multicentre study, living near dense traffic was associated with a lower FEV 1 and FVC in women, while in men only age-adjusted means of FEV 1 were lowered to near significance. 14 In a multicity study, women living near dense traffic had a lower mean FEV 1 and FVC and increased risk of COPD. 15 However, other studies found no associations between living near a road with dense traffic and FEV 1 or other measures of respiratory morbidity. 16 In individuals with obstructive lung disease, high exposure to dense traffic was associated with airway restriction, with a significantly lower FVC than for the low-exposed individuals in the same group.
To determine whether this variant in CPB2 was independent of the two more common amino acid substitutions, we instead conditioned on Thr147Ala (rs3742264) and Thr325Ile (rs1926447) and found that the variant remained significant ( P conditional = 1.66 × 10 −6 ), suggesting that the observed rare variant associations are distinct from known SNPs. In contrast to intact TAFI, for TAFI-AP SKAT-O yielded significant gene-level associations with five genes ( Table 3 ) and only near significance with CPB2 ( P SKAT-O =7.18 × 10 −6 ).
Among up-regulated DEGs, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (ko04141) was the only pathway near significance (5 genes; q = 0.058), including the membrane-bound site-2 protease S2P ( GME2708_g ; log 2 FC = 1.04) and four HSP20 family genes ( GME10364_g , GME10368_g , GME10370_g , GME6432_g ; log 2 FC 1.07–1.56) ( Figure 4 C).
