“perhaps marginally significant”

Although the difference was perhaps marginally significant (P = 0.056), patients with longer operation times (≥ 240 min) seemed to have a higher incidence of reoperation.

However, when analyzed including covariates GA and duration of oxygen treatment in the analyses, both Additive (p = 0.068) and Dominant (p = 0.059), while not reaching significance, were perhaps marginally significant, as was perhaps alluded to by the shift of all the SFTPA2 SNPs towards marginal significance with the inclusion of these covariates noted earlier.

For example, within the genes associated with ED, none of the SNP-expression pairs were significant within controls (of 588 pairs), and only two pairs were perhaps marginally significant within cases—both pairs were trans associations.
