Silently performs a t-test. Returns the sign of the test statistic if the result is significant at p-value < 0.05). If not significant or any error occurs returns a zero.

1 (second group > first group), 0 (not significant), or -1 (second group < first group)

Examples

	a <- rnorm(50)
	b <- rnorm(50, mean=10)
