The phrase "absolute additional" is not commonly used in written English and may sound awkward or unclear.
It could be used in contexts where you want to emphasize that something is completely extra or supplementary, but it may require further clarification.
Example: "The report included absolute additional data that was not necessary for the final analysis."
Alternatives: "completely extra" or "entirely supplementary".
Similarly, the absolute additional response rate to trastuzumab among HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer in the ToGA study is small: 12.8%.
This expresses the absolute additional beneficial effect of adjuvant therapy over no adjuvant treatment and is equal to the difference between control event rate and experimental event rate found in RCTs (ARR=event rate control group−event rate intervention group).
Additional file 1: Figure S2 presents Bland-Altman (difference) plots of the data in Figure 1B, both by absolute (Additional file 1: Figure S2A) and percent bias (Additional file 1: Figure S2B).
The absolute additional impact of the nonavalent vaccine (i.e the number of additional cases that could be prevented by the nonavalent vaccine) as well as the relative additional impact (i.e compared to the quadrivalent vaccine) are presented in Table 2.
If low estimate calculations are considered, the present study indicates that the absolute additional impact of a nonavalent vaccine is highest for CIN2/3 with a 33% increase in the proportion of cases targeted by the nonavalent vaccine.
The absolute additional impact of the nonavalent vaccine lied between 9.9% and 15.3% for invasive cervical cancers, between 24.7% and 33.3% for high-grade cervical neoplasias, and between 12.3% and 22.7% for low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.
IPT activity was determined in four independent experiments, which showed the same tendencies although with different absolute values (Additional files 11).
As expected, the constitutively spliced negative controls clustered tightly near zero; in comparison, the junctions known to be alternatively spliced provided significantly higher absolute values (Additional File 2).
The arrays were preprocessed using the popular RMA algorithm for background correction followed by quantile normalisation (see methods), however not performing any background correction resulted in a similar relative variance pro le but noticeably reduced absolute variances (Additional File 1).
However, the rescue was small in absolute terms (Additional file 1: Figure S9), with the partially rescued growth rate remaining less than wild-type, and far less than the rescue observed for the det2-1 brasynthesisoid synthesis mutant.
As this correlation is not absolute and additional candidate gene markers for starch corrected resistance to bruising have been identified (Urbany et al. 2011), marker-assisted selection of genotypes combining optimal starch with low sugar content and acceptable susceptibility to bruising should be feasible.
