Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals | | Portuguese term or phrase: testemunha | Context:
"Os valores obtidos já no primeiro dia de avaliação e, a partir do segundo dia, não diferiram entre si estatisticamente, ocorrendo diferença apenas na *testemunha* (água destilada). As doses 0,8g/mL-1 (74,4%) e 0,9g/mL-1 (79,2%), após 24 horas, foram superiores em relação às mesmas dosagens no período de 48 horas." |
| | | English translation:control | Explanation:
I am not sure if the answer is what Mike said or if the authors are saying that there are no differences between the results obtained in the first and second day, but there were differences between the results obtained in the two days and the control (water).
I believe the two suggestions (insignificant and control) can actually be accurate and will depend on what the author wanted to say.

Explanation:
não diferiram entre si estatisticamente, ocorrendo diferença apenas na *testemunha*
they were not different statistically, wit the only difference being insignificant (distilled water)
In statistics, of course, differences are significant, highly significant, or insignficant. Thus, in this case, as to what is germane, the differences were insignificant; however, a difference was found.
