Obtained data were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. Behavioral (n = 8 per group), electrophysiological (n = 8 per group) and Western blot (n = 5 per group) results were analyzed statistically using 1-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey multiple comparison tests using SPSS version 21 software (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY). Gene expression data (n = 5 per group) were analyzed using Relative Expression Software Tool (REST)-XL version 2. 43 This software determines differences in relative gene expression level of the samples compared with the control group. The ED 50 value for each group was determined using linear regression, with SPSS version 21 software (IBM Corp; n = 8 per group). The ED 50 values were measured as means attended by 95% confidence limits.

All the data were coded and checked for completeness, then entered into Epidata, and analyzed using SPSS version 21 statistical software for Windows. The data were tested for normality of distribution using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test; therefore, the non-parametric methods for the determination of RI were used as recommended by CLSI. Median, central 95 percentile, and 90% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The 97.5 percentile and 2.5 percentile were the upper and lower reference limit for the population. The data for the hematological parameters were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 21 software. The point estimate of the mean and the median with an interval estimate of 2.5 percentile and 97.5 percentile were provided as the reference values. The significant difference between sex groups was determined using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann–Whitney U test). p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Data for growth performance, immune factors, morphological, and VFA analyses are presented as the mean ± SEM and analyzed using SPSS Version 21.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). One-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison tests were performed to evaluate the variation among and between the groups. P < 0.05 indicates statistically significant. Figures were prepared using GraphPad Prism 8.0. Data analysis and figure preparation for the metabolome and microbiome were performed on the Majorbio Cloud Platform as mentioned above.
Correlation assays were conducted between the differential serum metabolites, significant gut microbes (at the genus level), growth indices (BW and ADG), and immune parameters (immunoglobulins and inflammatory cytokines). Data were inputted into SPSS Version 21.0 to calculate the correlation coefficients based on Spearman's correlation distance. Heatmaps were prepared using GraphPad Prism 8.0 to assess bivariate relationships between variables. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The differences in demographic characteristics (age, gender, BMI, etc.) were tested by SPSS version 21.0 software (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) (χ2 test/t-test). After testing whether the four candidate genetic loci of CTNNA3 meet Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (SPSS version 21.0 software), we used logistic regression model to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Then, according to the value of OR and CI, the association between CTNNA3 candidate SNPs and T2D risk was estimated (OR value represents relative risk; OR = 1: this factor has no effect on T2D risk; OR < 1: T2D protective factor; OR > 1: T2D risk factor). Using the wild-type allele as a reference, the online tool software plink 1.07 was used to estimate multiple genetic models. The statistical results obtained were adjusted by age and gender, and all tests were two-sided tests. In addition, we conducted a false-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis to detect whether the significant findings were just chance or noteworthy observations [24 (link)]. In this study, haplotype analysis was conducted by plink1.07 and Haploview software and linkage disequilibrium (LD) was calculated. Finally, the interaction of candidate SNPs in T2D risk was evaluated by multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR).

Evaluating Intervention Fidelity and Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
There were few missing items on the participants’ questionnaires altogether (18 items = .46% in total). When no more than two items were missing, values were replaced with the mean value of the scale or subscale. To compare services during and after implementation, and to compare clinician- and consumer-rated outcomes pre- and post-implementation, paired samples t tests with bootstrapping were performed in SPSS (version 21). To examine associations between clinician participation and their intention to further use of IMR, path analysis was performed using the lavaan R package [43 (link)]. Multiple regression analyses were performed in SPSS (version 21) to examine whether higher intervention fidelity was associated with better consumer outcomes.

The sampling technique used was Multistage cluster sampling, to select PHC centers during the first phase of the study, then to select registered physicians in the second phase of the study and then later to select their prescriptions. After obtaining the list of all PHC centers of Makkah from the Ministry of Health, we randomly selected 20% of the PHC centers with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS) version 21. As there are 70 PHC centers in Makkah, a total 14 PHC centers were selected. From each selected PHC center we randomly selected general practitioners and from each physician we randomly selected their prescriptions for ARI. After obtaining their consent, a total of 908 prescriptions were collected by going to clinic daily and collecting the prescriptions. We compared the prescriptions with WHO guidelines recommendations for acute respiratory infections [33 ]. The main variables assessed, beside basic demographic characteristics, included: chief complaints, temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, provisional diagnosis and the type of antibiotic prescribed. All variables were entered into the computer and analyzed by SPSS version 21.
The protocol was submitted to IRB of College of Medicine and ethical approval was obtained as HAPO-02-K-012-2016-02-142.
