The proposals made in the study are modest ones: more deer-crossing signs (eight were installed along the West Shore Expressway last year at the urging of Assemblyman Michael Cusick), some fencing and a public-education campaign.
Fifth, despite statistically significant associations, the population attributable risk of insufficient rest/sleep on various outcomes considered in the study was modest and ranged from 3.3% to 7.1%, suggesting only a small fraction of these outcomes are explained by insufficient rest/sleep at the population level.
Each of the agents has a long enough track record so that the anticipated risks of the study are modest.
15 Although the findings were promising, the sample size of the study was modest, and participants were not randomly distributed between the intervention and control groups.
Although the total number of samples in this study is modest, the use of discordant monozygotic twins and sibling case-controls offers the ability to identify differences in miRNA against the same or closely related genotype, which is an advantage in investigations of epigenetic mechanisms contributing to autism.
The level of improvement described in this study is modest, but the cost and complexity of the intervention is minimal.
Compared with major risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as overweight and obesity (associated with RRs of 2.99 [95% CI 2.42 3.72] and 7.19 [5.74–9.00] in a recent meta-analysis [ 34]), the strength of the summary risk estimates in the current study is modest.
While the variation in this study was modest, the variation found allows for some hypotheses based on theoretical work [ 28- 30].
The sample size in this study was modest and the range of the 95% CIs was wide, thereby providing the range of uncertainty in our results, however we did have sufficient power to detect a relationship between biomechanical parameters and the presence and severity of meniscal tears.
Although the final product concentration obtained in this study was modest, the overall yield and the production rate of lactate were comparable to those in conventional fermentation processes [20].
