From: Identifying spin bias of nonsignificant findings in biomedical studies
Data | Spin Bias: Section and Text | Study |
---|---|---|
Table 3 differences between TC and ENDS on blood pressure not significant | Discussion “blood pressure are less impacted by…[ENDS] than by TC suggests that they might be less detrimental” | [13] |
Figure 7 no significant difference in PCO2 for ENDS with or without nicotine | Discussion “increased PCO2 after vaping without nicotine” | [14] |
Table S3 LDL cholesterol changes not significant for ENDS or TC, not significant between study groups Results “Mean LDL cholesterol levels… according to the RMANCOVA analysis, they were not different between the two study groups” | Discussion “[ENDS] users also appeared to have greater decreases in…LDL cholesterol than [TC] smokers” | [15] |
Results cSBP “no significant difference at any time point in the [ENDS] group” | Discussion “We demonstrate acute changes in central blood pressure for a short period of time after vaping a liquid with nicotine” | [16] |
Results “lower systolic blood pressure among arms…was not statistically significant” | Results “greater reduction in systolic blood pressure for [ENDS] group than in the TC group” | [17] |
Figure 3a differences between interventions are nonsignificant | Results “Statistically significant differences between interventions…Figs. 2b and 3a” | [18] |
Table 4 no significant difference in HR minimum between control group and ENDS group. | Results “significant difference between C [control] and [ENDS]… for min[imum] HR” | [19] |
