In each model, five outcomes are reported: the applied transformation (if needed) to help stabilize the variance, the terms included in the model that satisfied the 10% weighted contribution threshold, the direction of each effect, the p value denoting the significance of each effect, and the coefficient of determination for the model. Onset = treatment onset, duration = treatment duration, and HA = hydroxyapatite.

Values with a dagger are significant (p < 0.05).
