Yes, exactly, p=0.413 corresponds to a coin toss, or as the authors of the paper put it "no different".
The p=0.51 figure seems to be a typo in the abstract. If you read the content of the paper, it says
> The hydroxychloroquine group also had a strong but not statistically significant trend towards worsening NLR (p=0.051).
So I believe they just accidentally moved the decimal place, and they are correctly avoiding calling the result statistically significant, but it is close.
