- The mean and 95% confidence intervals for each measurement of the clinical assessments, and the probabilities with the estimated effect sizes of the statistical analyses. Intragroup differences with statistical significance are marked with ‘*’ (“*” for paired t-tests). Significant levels are indicated as, 1 asterisk for < 0.05, 2 asterisks for ≤ 0.01, and 3 asterisks for ≤ 0.001
