The phrase "a significant difference was reached" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts such as research findings, statistical analysis, or discussions about outcomes where a notable distinction has been established.
Example: "After conducting the experiment, we found that a significant difference was reached between the control group and the experimental group."
Alternatives: "a notable difference was achieved" or "a meaningful difference was established."
However, a statistically significant difference was reached only at 6 h and 12 h after rhTSH administration.
A personality disorder was reported by 29% of the hypomania spectrum group and by 20% of the MDD group, but a statistically significant difference was reached only for obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (24 vs. 14%).
In the patients who received a 'loading' bolus, a positive effect was observed in urine output, but no statistically significant difference was reached in urine output in the first 24 hours or in the time to reach a urine output of 6 ml/kg per hour, which might be explained by the inter-individual variability and the difference in group size.
Further analysis showed a tendency favoring PRP in patients with less degenerated joints at 6 months and 12 months, although no significant difference was reached (P = 0.08 and P = 0.07, respectively).
Vulnerable plaques were found to present a significantly higher burden with the low-density plaque with 30 HU (23.3 mm versus 7.6 mm) and 60 HU (33.4 mm versus 16.9 mm) thresholds than nonvulnerable plaques; however, no significant difference was reached for higher density plaques (60 100 HU threshold).
In detail, severe IBS patients without FMS had a significantly higher visceral perception cumulative score than mild IBS patients [23.2 ± 2.9 (11.5-37) vs 12.3 ± 1.98 (2.5-19.5), Bonferroni test p < 0.05], whilst no significant difference was reached in comparison to severe IBS patients with FMS [14.3 ± 2.8 (5–23)].
This is because, in most cases, a nutritional compound has only limited effects on its biological target and relevant and significant differences are reached only over time through a build-up effect in which daily benefits add up day after day.
Statistically significant differences were reached for MT1A and MT2 genes (Mann-Whitney test, p < 0.05).
