The model purpose, defined at the beginning of the procedure, influences the model selection, the data collection and the model calibration.
Finally, as predicted there were indications that the procedure influenced subsequent emotional interpretation.
The procedure of VSR (using the theoretical framework in Table 1) and how the choice of procedure influences overall considerations of study quality and utility d.
The adopted synthetic procedure influences CNTs length and diameter and, due to attractive van der Waals forces, SWCNTs and MWCNTs tend to pack together in ropes.
The reason for the interval between lung function testing and BAL sampling is that if these two procedures are scheduled too close together, the first performed procedure influences parameters of the second performed procedure, leading to spurious data.
To exclude that this procedure has influenced our main findings, we performed a sensitivity analysis with classical censoring at the time of transplantation which did, however, not reveal any substantial differences in HRs compared to the primary analysis (see Table S1).
As this procedure can influence weighted mean differences, the categorical analysis has been included for research comparison purposes but is to be considered with caution.
It has to be noted that we used BSA to disperse the NPs in solution and this procedure could influence the biological effects of the NPs, as demonstrated by Val and colleagues in bronchial epithelial cells exposed to CB and TiO2 NPs [ 17].
Pre-defined subgroups analysis showed that neither period of admission, underlying malignancy nor neutropenia during the surgical procedure, influenced this result.
It is proposed that, when dealing with graphene oxide, constant verification of measurement procedure influence is required.
