Analyzing OPUS Outcomes in Amputees

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A pretrial power analysis for the estimated required sample size was conducted using GPower38 version 3.1.9.6 and effect size was estimated based on published articles9 (link),39 (link),40 (link) for the primary endpoint assuming a normally distributed amputee population. It was therefore expected that 38 subjects were required to complete the protocol with a power of 0,95 and α at 0,05. Drop-out rate was estimated at proximally 20% and therefore 47 subjects were recruited.
We used R version 4.03 (R-Studio Version 1.2.5033) and lme441 to perform a linear mixed effects analysis of the relationship between the OPUS outcomes and clinical need. As fixed effects, we entered age, gender, and evaluation point (tested for interaction with “clinical need”) into the model. As random effects, we had intercepts for subjects and investigators, as well as by-subject and by-item random slopes for the effect of clinical need. P-values were obtained by likelihood ratio tests of the full model with the effect in question against the model without the effect in question. For comparison of individual OPUS items, the Benjamini & Hochberg method was used to control for Type I error due to multiple comparisons.42

Statistical analyses were performed using RStudio version 1.0.153 (RStudio, Inc, Boston, MA, USA). Percentage data for motility (TM, PM, Slow, Medium, and Fast), kinetic parameters (LIN, STR, and WOB), and viability were normalized using arcsine value/100 transformation. All data were assessed for normality and homogeneity of variance using Shapiro–Wilk and Levene tests. Where data were normally distributed with homogeneous variance, one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test, was used to test differences between treatments. A Kruskal–Wallis H test was performed when these assumptions were not met, followed by Fisher's Least Significant Difference test to compare treatment pairs. The paired samples Wilcoxon test (Wilcoxon signed-rank test) was used to evaluate significant differences between 1 and 24 h incubation for Experiments 2, 3, and 4. Kruskal–Wallis rank-sum test followed by pairwise Mann–Whitney U-test (Wilcoxon rank-sum test) with Bonferroni correction was used to assess the significance between groups at each time point for Experiment 5. Data are displayed as mean ± standard error (SEM). The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.

Stress Levels and Meal Patterns

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each respondent was assigned to a consumer group based on their individual PSS-10 score. Thus, n = 116 (61%) belonged to the ‘Moderate stress’ group, and n = 74 (39%) to the ‘High stress’ group. All consecutive statistical analyses were based on these two groups. Mean (±SD) or median values (IQR) were calculated for each variable for each consumer group, and results were illustrated by either bar plots based on the mean values, or by stacked bar plots showing the distributions of answers by the two groups. The normal distribution of the data was checked by the Shapiro–Wilk test, and subsequent statistical tests were chosen accordingly. Wilcoxon’s signed rank test was utilized for detecting significant differences between the two groups on numerical vales, whereas Chi2 tests were used for the categorical variables. For comparing changes in meal patterns before being stressed and now within each group, McNemar’s test was used. All data analyses were conducted in R Studio©, version 1.3.1093 (Boston, MA, USA) [50 ]. Statistical significance was set to α < 0.05 for all calculations. For 0.05 < α < 0.08, results were reported as ‘trending’ towards a significant difference.

Anxiety Disorders in ASD and FXS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analyses were conducted using RStudio Version 1.0.136 (2015). Data were analyzed for violations of assumptions including homogeneity of variance, normality of residuals, and multicollinearity. The analytic strategy was completed in multiple steps. First, descriptive statistics were run to calculate the rates of overall and specific anxiety disorder diagnoses (i.e., GAD, Specific, Social) in the ASD and FXS groups. Chi-square analysis was used to compare the overall rate of anxiety in the ASD and FXS groups. Then, follow-up independent sample t- tests were conducted to compare age, Leiter-R growth scores, and ASD symptom severity across participants with and without anxiety. Next, to test model assumptions, bi-serial correlations were performed to assess associations between the predictors (Leiter-R growth scores and ASD severity) and anxiety, and between the predictors and diagnosis group (FXS or ASD). A logistic regression model was then conducted to analyze ASD severity and Leiter-R growth scores as predictors of anxiety disorders in ASD and FXS. Exploratory descriptive analyses were also conducted to investigate the rates of prescribed anxiety medications across the ASD and FXS groups. Logistic regression models were run to determine whether anxiety medication was a predictor of an anxiety disorder or group (FXS or ASD).

Infliximab Pharmacokinetics in IBD Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A comprehensive and systematic literature search in PubMed was performed for infliximab population pharmacokinetic analyses in patients with IBD. The search terms were “infliximab” AND “population” AND “pharmacokinetics” and reference lists of identified articles were manually screened for further eligible studies. Subsequently, modeling and study information was collected, including model structure, population pharmacokinetic parameter values, covariates, inter-individual variability, residual variability, information on patient cohorts, disease type, number of patients, number of collected blood samples, and ADA immunogenicity rate. The population pharmacokinetic models described in the gathered studies were implemented and evaluated using the nonlinear mixed effects modeling software NONMEM® version 7.4 (Icon Development Solutions, Ellicott City, MD, USA). Computations for prediction- and variability-corrected visual predictive checks (pvcVPCs) were generated with the PsN (version 4.9.0) tool “vpc” [39 (link),40 (link)]. Data management, graphics, and quantitative model diagnostics were carried out using the R programming language version 3.6.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) and R Studio® version 1.2.5019 (R Studio, Inc., Boston, MA, USA).

Epitope Prediction and Association Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Epitope predictions for significant HLA-to-viral codon associations were done using TepiTool (39 (link)). Epitopes 15 AAs in length covering the codon of interest were provided to the program, and the associated HLA allele was selected for a high number of peptides using TheImmune Epitope Database (IEDB) recommended prediction method. The recommended significance threshold for selecting potential binders is % rank of <1 and IC50 <500 nM (40 (link)). Analysis 2 (Fig. 1) investigated the association of host allele dosage-to-VL and variant viral AA-to-VL using a two-sample t-test. t-Tests and box plots were done in RStudio version 1.3.1056 (41 ). The significance threshold was set at P < 0.05.

Experiment data were analyzed by Student’s two-tailed t-test and one-way ANOVA using the RStudio version 3.6.0 with a model that included fixed effect of DGAT1 and controls (WT, VC, and null-sibling). A multiple comparison of treatments such as Bartlett’s test (homogeneity of variances) and Shapiro-Wilk normality test from ANOVA was used to highlight significant among treatment means while P-values were adjusted by the BH method (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995 (link)) to control the false discovering rate. Means and SE are reported, and fixed effects declared significant from P < 0.05.

Systematic Review Data Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Data was extracted independently by primary author (RH) and checked by a second author (ND) using the JBI Data Extraction Form for Review for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses [23 (link)]. This included recording information on author, year of publication, country of origin, objectives, results, appraisal, appraisal instruments, appraisal rating, and other relevant information on the primary level studies included in the review.
In addition to completing the JBI extraction checklist for each included review, the standardized mean difference (SMD), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and number of studies included for all eligible meta-analyses were extracted. If a pooled effect was not available for a given study, a random effects model was run to calculate the missing values using the available mean, standard deviation, and number of participants for the intervention and control groups. This model was conducted using the metafor function in R (R Studio, Version 1.2.1335).

Texture Analysis for Tumor Classification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Modeling was performed using the language R (RStudio Version 1.0.143–© 2009-2016 RStudio, Inc.). Approx. 70% of cases from each group were classified into the train set (133 cases); AM group (66 cases) and SFT/HPC group (67 cases) were used to establish the model. The remaining 30% were classified into the test set (59 cases), AM group (29 cases) and SFT/HPC group (30 cases), to verify the accuracy of the established model.
A comparison of texture features in T1WI sequences was analyzed using independent sample t-test and Kruskal-Wallis test; a P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Univariate logistic regression analysis (P < 0.05) and Spearman's correlation analysis (P ≥ 0.05 or P < 0.05, r < 0.9) were used to screen for the parameters with high predictive power. T2WI and contrasted T1WI sequence texture feature used the Lasso method to reduce dimensionality and selected high-performance parameters. Parameters with high predictive power in the three sequences were further eliminated using the stepwise iterative method, and the remaining high-performance parameters were fed into a multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine an optimal logistic regression model for tumor classification. The confusion matrix was used to analyze the accuracy of the model. ROC curve was constructed to assess the grading ability of the logistic regression model.
