regression, p = 0.000, R 2 = 0.615), and a clear trend to a waterfall-specific beneficial influence when compared to the WF– group (lin. regression, p = 0.054, R 2 = 0.179) (Fig. 4 ).

MCH levels in CSF CSF MCH levels were only measured in eight patients, and were variable but with a clear trend towards higher values in the orexin negative narcolepsy CSFs compared with orexin normal non-narcolepsy paediatric CSFs (p = 0.054, Student’s unpaired t-test; Fig 2B , Table 1 ) or adult normal CSFs tested in parallel (data not shown).

Furthermore, we identified a clear trend toward an inverse association of serum 25(OH)D levels with iron deficiency anemia (β [SE] = −0.385 [0.199], P = 0.054) and anemia in general (β [SE] = −0.364 [0.200], P = 0.069) in patients with IBD.

While 2–3 month APP SAA mice showed a clear trend towards a novelty preference on the OLT ( p = 0.054), 16 month APP SAA mice had a novelty preference score that was no different than chance levels (despite spending similar time exploring the objects, Supplementary Fig, S2 a), suggesting that they were no longer able to remember which object had been moved (Fig. 2 a).

The rates for BARC type 3 to 5 and BARC type 2 to 5 bleeding were not statistically significantly different although BARC type 2 to 5 bleeding showed a clear trend towards more events in the PP-ZES arm (7.0 % vs. 2.9 %; p = 0.054).

Although not statistically significant, a clear trend of patients with DM having lower lycopene levels than the control group was observed (MD = −0.09, 95% CI: −0.19 to 0.00, p = 0.054).

In this case, the association of esRAGE with malnutrition was non statistically significant, even if a clear trend of association was evident (OR 1.33; 95% CI 0.98–2.38; p = 0.055).

This difference showed a clear trend toward statistical significance in the nonparametric comparison (Mann–Whitney U test: p = 0.055).

With regards to the TSER polymorphisms, the presence of a 3R/3R polymorphism seemed to predict a higher ORR with a clear trend toward statistical significance (p = 0.055).

These modifications were associated with an improvement of liver stiffness which did not reach statistical significance but nonetheless marked a clear trend towards reduction (12.8 vs. 13.8 kPa, p = 0.055).

However, the correlation of IRS-FAP and SUVmean of [ 68 Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 showed a clear trend that only slightly failed to be significant ( p = 0.0554).
