On the PA radiograph, scapholunate interval widening (scapholunate diastasis) may be demonstrated and/or foreshortening of the scaphoid can be seen, causing the "signet ring" sign (produced by the scaphoid tubercle being superimposed on the waist).
At a particular total sampling time, t tot, the prediction interval widened, i.e. the variance components were less precise, for larger block sizes.
However, the confidence interval widened after bias-adjustment, which is due to incorporating the assessors' uncertainty regarding the size of the biases, and implies that higher quality studies are required.
Further adjustment for intakes of vitamin C, vitamin E, β-carotene, folate, vitamin B6, and magnesium did not materially change the results, although the confidence interval widened (RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.53 1.08).
Right at the start, the symphony's fateful three-note motto has the action of a turning screw, its intervals widening by degrees.
Also the confidence intervals widened considerably.
When we further stratified participants into light and heavy smokers, the direction of the point estimates for the BMI categories remained the same, although the confidence intervals widened.
We also adjusted the treatment difference for age and gender but the point estimates did not change considerably - only the confidence intervals widened.
The coefficients of the population mixing variable were somewhat smoothed by the introduction in the model of extra-Poisson variation (2) and the confidence intervals widened slightly (Table 4).
However, in all cases the credible intervals widen, so that they still include the value of one, providing little evidence of any association between exposures and the outcome, regardless of the assumed measurement error magnitudes.
