Standardised mean differences were selected to make comparisons across studies that used different tools to measure the same outcome, 22 or reported a mixture of final value scores and change from baseline scores.
Chronosequence positions corresponding to 30, 25, 20, and 15 years of land use and four transects perpendicular to the chronosequence representing observed soil differences were selected, intersections forming forage sampling plots.
After 5 days of incubation at room temperature in the dark, colonies with morphological and pigment differences were selected, and successive passages were conducted until pure strains were obtained.
Tajima's [34] measure of nucleotide diversity estimated from the mean number of pairwise nucleotide differences was selected due to its incorporation of allele frequencies, making this statistic more biologically meaningful as compared to others [i.e., segregating sites (θS)] [35].
The top 5% of the highest differences were selected for further analysis.
Of these, protein spots showing significant differences were selected for further analysis.
The rank difference in each pair of populations was calculated and the top of the probes with the greatest rank differences was selected.
DTI parameters from tracts that showed significant between-group differences were selected to evaluate the relation between these parameters and cognitive performance with linear regression analyses.
Thirteen healthy subjects with minimal differences were selected from 75 healthy subjects, and the brain functional network was constructed using MIC, as well as other methods (CF, PCF, MI, WAF, and CH).
For comparisons across trials that reported different measurement tools for the same outcome 19 or a mixture of final value scores and change from baseline scores, standardised mean differences were selected.
