One of two curators who reported their times recorded a time reduction by a third with the text-mining-assisted set-up, whereas the other one reported an increase by a fifth.
If the primary outcome rate in the control group was around 65% or more, a sample size of about 180 would allow them to detect a reduction by a third (all estimates based on 5% statistical significance (2-sided test) and 80% power).
This showed, for instance, that with a sample size of about 240 if the primary outcome rate in the control group was about 57% or more they would be able to detect a reduction by a third OR if the primary outcome rate in the control group was about 73% or more, they would be able to detect a reduction by a quarter.
Because the EU demanded a reduction by a fifth in the area of Britain covered by regional-aid grants, the new policy is to try to target aid more closely on areas where it may leverage in investment.But those clever chaps in Whitehall have found a way of softening the blow for some losing areas, such as the Isle of Wight and Torbay.
In response to this most unusual treatment, the federations of shippers and hauliers (TLF, FNTR, UNOSTRA, GFI, UIC, FIM, FCD, CGI, AUTF) formed an "anti-TGAP action group" which highlighted the contradictions within this double tax which was poorly compensated for by the reduction of a third.
The newly adopted UN Sustainable Development Goals include an overall target for a reduction by one third of premature deaths from NCDs by 2030.
This study showed, over a period of 4,5 years, a reduction by one third in cardiovascular deaths and in the need for coronary revascularization.
It is a reduction by one third, and even compared to four years ago it is a sharp decrease," she said.
With this sample size, the study had 80% power using a 5% level of significance, to detect a reduction by one third in the incidence of clinical attacks of malaria in the treatment group.
To detect a reduction by one third (from 20% to 13%) in the prevalence of moderate to severe anaemia (Hb<7g/dL) at the end of the malaria transmission season with a power of 80%, using a significance level of 5% and assuming 15% loss to follow-up, 600 children were needed in each group.
With rapid reduction of methane emissions by a third, methane should restabilize around 1250 parts per billion over fourteen years, reducing radiative forcing by almost a third of its increase since industrialization.
