significantly different from 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When we say that findings are "statisically significant" we mean statistically significantly different from 0.

You usually have a nule hypothesis that says that some parameter is equal to zero. By statistician analysis you can run a test to proove that such parameter is statistically significantly different from zero.

So, when you see it in a text you must know that this value is significantly different from 0 statistically.
