  1. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparisons test was used to determine significance between groups for normal distribution parameters, and the results were documented as mean ± SD. For non-normal distribution parameters, the Kruskal–Wallis H test (k independent samples) was used to compare groups of variants, and the results were documented as median (lower and upper quartile)
  2. TS, temporal superior; TI, temporal inferior; ST, superior temporal; IT, inferior temporal; SN, superior nasal; IN, inferior nasal; NS, nasal superior; NI, nasal inferior
  3. *p < 0.05, the difference is statistically significant and significant values are in bold type
