.Data protected by statistical secrecy

1) '..'= The corresponding data is not provided because the number of sampling observations is less than 100
When the box is marked with a '-' sign before the data, this indicates that the number of sampling  observations is between 100 and 500, and thus the figure is unreliable and must be interpreted cautiously.
