Statistical significance

TREATMENT - LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 1 Level of evidence 1 treatment studies correspond to randomized-controlled trials. We could find only 4 RCT that investigated treatment outcomes in PDAP patients (34) (71) (72) (73). In two of these studies PDAP correspond only to a portion of a greater population (persistent idiopathic facial pain) (71) (72). Due to the unknown relation between these two conditions we will not discuss these experiments. Only 2 RCT’s are left, both reaching 4/5 points in the Jadad

Introduction: Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction provides excellent results for restoring normal kinematics to the knee. Nevertheless, strong evidence supporting an ideal method for fixation of the ACL graft is lacking. Objectives: A Comparison of 2 Femoral Fixation Procedures between Intratunnel femoral fixation of the ACL graft via a cross-pin fixation technique and extratunnel femoral fixation with cortical buttons. Methods: Seventy patients with a unilateral

The article has a first glimpse strength in terms of published medium. The journal Obstet Gynecol. has an impact factor of 4.368, which is generally considered good and reliable. That said, if the research and scientific findings were of great significance then the authors would have successfully published in journals of much higher review rigour and quality. Did the study address a clearly focused issue? In the abstract the authors explicitly state a working research question, that psycho-behavioural

Placebo-controlled trials have ethical issues inherent to their design. The central point is having a control group that is ethically problematic for two reasons: The placebo group’s therapy is withheld in order to reduce bias and eliminate the chance of false improvements due to the placebo effect (up to 30% of placebo reactors). The complexity of this aspect depends on the availability of standard treatments, severity and prognosis for the disease, length of the planned study and the study design

t-tests results indicated significant changes in reading motivations among subjects in certain areas. The scores of students without disabilities in the Self-Concept portion of the survey significantly increased during the study and showed statistical significance. Students without disabilities also showed an increase in scores in the Value of Reading scores, but the difference was not statistically significant. Students with disabilities showed a decline in reading motivation, but the differences

were females and 4 others. Each question on the survey was verified to be answered correctly and completely. The statistical method used to analyze the data was obtained through SPSS statistical

2mm (range 2.8 to 3.67mm). Were implanted 42 Artisan IOL and 40 Artiflex IOL with a mean power of -11.1D Visual Acuity Mean preoperative UCVA was 1.9 logMAR and post operative UCVA was 0.3 logMAR after phakic IOL implantation, showing a statistical significance (p=0.000). After the surgery we observed that 79 eyes gain 4 or more lines of vision, 20/40 or better was achieved in 76 eyes (92.68%) after the follow up period. Mean preoperative CDVA was 0.2+/-0.3 logMAR and after post operative follow

statistical significance with a p-value of 0.16 at 5 minutes, 0.04 at 10 minutes and 0.03 at 20 minutes. It does not; however, show a statistical significance in digit recall with changes from p =0.10 at a 5 minute exercise break, p=0.48 at a 10 minute exercise break and p=0.18 at a 20 minute exercise break, and does not show a significant difference between cognitive functioning and physical activity in children, thus refutes the notion that physical exercise may be affected by different exercise

of cases, a first degree relative was noted to have psoriasis. Association of onset of psoriasis according to family history: There is no significant between these factors in Mauritius (SD: 25, CI 95%, X²=7.54, p=0.79).However in Dalian there is significance association (SD: 20, CI 95%, X²: 3.45, p= 0.005). c) Marital status and Employment status: In Mauritius 66% who had psoriasis vulgaris was married and in Dalian 56% was married. : In this study in Mauritius, more than half of the patients 32 (64%)
