This statement is wrong on multiple levels, I can't believe Nature would not catch that in the abstract.
- They don't clarify if they are referencing statistical significance;
- It is not significant at p = 0.07
- It is likely not even near significant if they accounted for multiple comparisons (p-hacking).
- Under the hypothesis test framework, things can't be marginally significant. It is either significant or it isn't.
