In Medicaid expansion states, there was also a small but statistically meaningful increase in the proportion of patients newly diagnosed with colorectal, lung, breast, pancreatic and melanoma cases that were caught when tumors were in the early stages of development.
While lower air temperature, lower atmospheric air pressure, higher wind velocity and shorter sunshine duration all were associated with a statistically meaningful increased risk of heart attack, the most pronounced effect was from temperature.
A responder analysis revealed that approximately 35% of treated patients had a statistically significant and clinically meaningful increase in walking speed.
It did result in a statistically significant, but less clinically meaningful, increase in bone density at the top of the thighbone.
After 16 weeks, the women in all the groups reported a somewhat better sex life, although the increase was statistically meaningful only for the group that received the middle dose of testosterone.
Although blood culture bottles containing peritoneal fluid spiked with Candida sp. were used to increase numbers to statistically meaningful levels, every attempt was made to apply PNA-FISH to situations found in actual clinical practice.
Similarly, an increase in the values upon going from primary screenings to confirmatory assays to summary assays was also not statistically meaningful, due to an even more rapid increase in the values.
Of those, 9 blood and 6 peritoneal fluid culture bottles had been spiked with Candida sp. or other yeasts in the laboratory in order to increase sample numbers to statistically meaningful levels specific for the pathogen.
Power calculations have been important in human GWASs for improving the experimental design to increase the probability of obtaining a statistically meaningful result [ 52], and there are now a myriad of software packages available to researchers [ 40, 53, 54].
The indicator presented in this study will henceforth be referred to as statistical meaningfulness and has a dual quality point grading scale: statistically meaningful, and not statistically meaningful.
However, these increases should not be considered as statistically meaningful because the standard deviations of the NN-pair 3-D similarity scores also become greater and these distributions significantly overlap.
