As the sample size was pre-determined and we did not have any data to inform an estimation of an effect size, we did not perform a sample size calculation for this nested study.
For example, Pope & Scott [ 6] distinguish between side-effects and fear of side-effects informing decision-making and Basco & Smith [ 14] suggest that a memory of unpleasant side-effects might inform an affective rather than reasoned response.
The data will inform an ongoing debate of potential effects of geohelminths on child health and will contribute to policy decisions on new interventions designed to improve vaccine immunogenicity and protect against the development of allergic diseases.
If they would have been informed, a smaller effect of the new standard protocol for CCTV training may be expected.
A single T-contrast image was generated per subject from the first (single-subject) level and the images used to inform a second level (group effect) analysis to test for any common patterns.
The key outcome of this trial will be an estimate of the effect size, which will inform a definitive trial.
A systematic review of the literature was conducted to inform the effect of IVIG in severe sepsis on all-cause mortality during the initial acute hospitalisation.
Timing of surgery and severity of the slip are two factors that we intended to study; however, included studies did not provide useful data to inform the effect of these factors on the selected outcomes.
These behavioural effects informed a model-based analysis of a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment, involving an identical paradigm, where we demonstrate that this conditioned behavioral bias engages the amygdala, a brain structure associated with acquisition and expression of conditioned associations.
This study's findings will help to provide a scientific basis to inform policies effecting survivor care.
