From the second link in the 5th paragraph, the abstract states:

Regression analyses including sex and neonatal epigenetic marks explained >25% of the variance in childhood adiposity.

Check the abstract. P represents probability. P = 0.002 means that you would expect those results 2 times out of a thousand results if the results were just random. In sample populations, it's considered significant when P is less than P = 0.05, i.e. you would expect a random result happens less 5 percent of the time.

Hence, you want larger samples for smaller margins of error and the exhortations for the replication of results.
