I have an odds ratio that is 0.88 (95% CL: 0.78,0.99). I'm keeping decimals to 2 places, so is it technically still fair to consider the OR estimate statistically significant (since it still doesn't contain 1.0 when using 2 decimal places)? Or for publication purposes, would something like this be downplayed?

Some journals address issues related to rounding in their author guidelines. Usually that guidance is related to p values, but I would recommend looking to see if the target journal makes reference to the presentation of statistics such as odds ratios.
