However, the function of leptin appears to be more complex because multiple studies demonstrate its role in hematopoiesis, reproduction, and immunity.
Among bacteria, antibiotic susceptibility profile of Enterococcus spp and S. aureus is very important, because multiple studies have demonstrated that surfaces in the rooms of patients colonized or infected with these pathogens are frequently contaminated.
No genotyping was performed for GR ER22/23EK (rs6189 6190) because multiple studies show that it is not polymorphic in the Chinese population [ 33– 33].
In fact, the media frenzy over unhappy wind-turbine neighbors is downright irresponsible -- mainly because multiple studies show that wind turbine critics fall squarely in the minority.
For momentum-minded traders – people who buy and hold for weeks to months before selling – relative performance is a wondrous thing, because multiple studies show that stocks that outperform over the past six months tend to outperform in the months ahead.
There are more entries than there are predator-prey combinations because some pairwise interactions were measured in multiple studies, in multiple contexts (resource levels, predator densities, etc)., or for more than one pathway.
This result may be because of differences in population characteristics or definitions used in multiple studies.
Because a combined P value can give a significant result either because a test is highly significant in one study but nonsignificant in the remaining studies or because a test is moderately significant in multiple studies, the combined P value alone cannot distinguish these.
Third, our data-collection methods were consistent, although data were obtained from several different studies because the same research team was involved in multiple studies.
