Hearing Thresholds Comparison in Patient Groups

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Non-parametric tests were used due to the discrepancies in size between each of the compared groups. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare hearing thresholds in the three patient groups. To determine possible differences in hearing thresholds obtained by patients from each group in selected time intervals, the Friedman non-parametric test was used. In both tests, p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. The adjustment for multiple tests, the Bonferroni correction, was applied. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS statistics software version 24.0.

Nonparametric Analysis of Matched Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Continuous variables are reported as mean ± standard deviation, and categorical variables are reported as percentages. When the dataset was tested for normalcy by use of the Shapiro-Wilk test, the data were found to be nonparametric. Because of this, Mann-Whitney U tests were used instead of 2-tailed t tests in the analysis of continuous matching variables and ImPACT composite scores. The comparison of categorical matching variables and the occurrence of invalid results between the matched groups were assessed by use of the chi-square test. Due to unequal group sizes, the Hedges g was used to assess effect sizes. A significance level of α = .05 was selected a priori for all statistical analyses. The final dataset did not contain any individuals with missing data points in the fields used in the analyses. Analysis was performed with IBM SPSS statistics software version 24.0.

Prostate Cancer Outcomes After Proton Beam Therapy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analyses were performed for patients with PCa who were followed up for at least 2 years after PBT. We estimated the rates of OS, PFS, and GI/GU toxicities using the Kaplan-Meier method, two-sided log-rank test, and the Mann-Whitney U test with IBM SPSS Statistics software version 24.0 (IBM, Inc., Armonk, NY, USA). To assess the effects of prognostic factors, Kaplan-Meier analyses for PFS were performed based on patient age, PSA, Gleason score, percentage of positive biopsy cores, perineural invasion in biopsy specimens, clinical T stage, dose/fraction, D95 and V95 to CTV/PTV using log-rank tests. Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed for multivariate analyses of selected factors. Statistical analyses were performed with SAS Release 9.4 (SAS Inst., Cary, NC, USA).
We also evaluated the scores of general sexual function with EPIC before and after PBT with multiple regression analyses. The scores measured via EPIC were calculated according to the instrument instructions [48 (link)]. The scores ranged from 0 to 100, with high scores representing more favorable QOL. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Comparative Analysis of Drug Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics software version 24.0 (IBM Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare BL (end of the placebo period) and evaluation parameters (HR and HRV) for the whole 24 h period and for the feeding and sleeping time periods, with parameters recorded during each of the third (and last) 24 h period of the administration of both drugs. If a significant difference was observed the Steel–Dwass test was used to compare all pairs of medians. The same statistical analysis was used to compare differences for the BL/placebo period, in terms of HR and HRV, comparing the whole 24 h period with the feeding and sleeping periods.
A paired t‐test was used to compare the evaluation parameters between BL and day 7 of the wash‐out period to check if the parameters had returned to their BL values during the wash‐out period. Data are presented as median (minimum–maximum). A p‐value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Quantifying Cell Subtype Distributions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We estimated the numbers and fractions of each cell subtype within the different regions and for each patient. These results were compared using IBM SPSS Statistics software (version 24.0), with Student’s t-test applied for normally distributed data and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test applied for non-normally distributed data. Differences were considered statistically significant at P-values of <0.05.

Comparative Analysis of Minimally Invasive versus Conventional Surgical Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Categorical variables are presented as absolute values and frequencies (%), while mean with standard deviation (SD) or median and interquartile range (IQR) were used for continuous variables. T-tests and Mann–Whitney U-tests were used for continuous variables to make comparisons between the MIS and CS groups, while Fisher’s exact or Chi-square tests were used for comparisons of categorical variables. Kaplan–Meier curves were used for survival analyses. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated using Cox regression. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated by logistic regression and adjusted for procedural differences between the two groups (MV repair, MV replacement, cryoablation, left atrial appendage closure [LAA] and concomitant tricuspid valve repair [TVR]). A two-tailed p-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. We used IBM SPSS Statistics software version 24.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) for all statistical tests.

HIV and HPV Coinfection Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The data considered categorical were presented in proportion, using the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The normality of the distribution of numerical variables was assessed by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. For the numerical variables, Student's t-test was used to verify the differences between the means of the groups evaluated. The results obtained provided their distribution in two groups: with coinfection (HIV+/HPV+) and without coinfection (HIV+/HPV–). A 95% confidence interval and a significance level of p ≤ 0.05 were adopted for the analysis performed. All tests were applied using IBM SPSS® Statistics software version 24.0.

Data are presented as percentages, means with standard deviation (SD) for normally distributed parameters, or median with interquartile range (IQR) in all other cases. Statistical significance of changes between baseline and 1 or 3 months treatment with empagliflozin or placebo were determined using paired t‐test, whereas for differences between 1 or 3 months treatment with empagliflozin compared with placebo, an unpaired t‐test was used. A two‐sided P‐value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics software, version 24.0 (IBM Corporation, Chicago, IL, USA).

Long-term Survival of Total Hip Replacement Cups

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Continuous variables are described as the means, medians, and ranges. Comparisons between groups were performed using independent Student’s t-tests, Welch’s t-tests, or 1-way ANOVA. Categorical data were analyzed with chi-square tests. Survival of the cup was calculated using life tables with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For comparison of the survival of cups with and without screw holes, the log-rank test was used. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with CIs were calculated using multivariable Cox regression models.
The total observation time comprised 18 years (2000–2017). However, the number of cups at risk for revision after 10 years was only 1,846, and the distribution of cups with and cups without screw holes was unequal between cup design (Table 4, see Supplementary data); therefore, the risk for revision was not calculated beyond 10 years.
The E-value was calculated to define the minimum strength of association of the HR that an unmeasured confounder would need to have with both the treatment and the outcome to fully explain away the association between screw holes and cup revision on the measured covariates (VanderWeele and Ding 2017 (link)).
A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics software, version 24.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA).
