However, based on descriptive publications in both individual adult cohorts, it can be assumed that no major changes exist between the two cohorts in the early stage as they both exhibit a microbiota dominated by the same genera in adulthood.
Methodologically, the review showed a predominance of descriptive publications in the field of Indigenous Australian mentoring across time.
One of the reviewers was concerned that the dataset remains too descriptive for publication in eLife and does not yet demonstrate a causal link.
We believe such approaches present a growing support of self-descriptive data publications in scientific articles.
Descriptive statistics detailing publication trends, distribution within disciplines, study subjects and number of study participants are available in each category.
For all studies in this review, the following data were extracted from original publications: Descriptive and substantive data : (a) first author and year of publication; (b) study site and period; (c) sampling methods; (d) sampling size and age of participants; (e) methods and results of HIV infection detection; (f) reported risk behaviours and (g) outcome measures.
Upon study completion, we developed a portal [ 19] for exchange of data, documents, timelines, meeting minutes, procedures, and draft manuscripts among investigators involved in the EAGLE data analyses, and a website [ 8] for public access to study design, collaborators, descriptive statistics, and publications.
In various publications (descriptive statistically) significant results of secondary endpoints are repeatedly incorrectly drawn upon as proof of the efficacy of a treatment.
We first conducted simple descriptive statistics of publications in each journal.
Using descriptive analysis, first publications demonstrated in a population of 37 epithelial tumors that a slow, low-level enhancement pattern typical of a type 1 curve has a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 88.8% for benign tumor, whereas a rapid and high level of enhancement typical of a type 3 curve was only found in invasive malignant tumors with a sensitivity of 67%.
