Survival analysis of the BRCA1 adequate and deficient groups did show an interesting trend with the adequate tumors showing a marginal trend towards better prognosis although this was not significant statistically ( S4A Fig ) due to limited numbers.

In contrast, the METurquoise module showed a slightly positive correlation with cancer (0.048, p = 0.3) and a slightly negative correlation with control (r = -0.048, p = 0.3), indicating a marginal trend of up-regulation in cancer samples.

There was a marginal trend for African Americans to score higher than whites on the Beck Depression Index (0.6 vs 0.5).

We found a marginal trend towards more frequent TB amplification among female patients compared to male patients (odds ratio, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.01−1.29; Extended Data Fig. 10d ) in a merged analysis excluding cancers of female- or male-specific organs.

The results are expressed as the means ± standard errors of the mean (SEM), with differences considered significant at P < 0.05, while P values between 0.05 and 0.10 indicated no significant group differences but a marginal trend.

The coefficient (−0.0123) for the change in trend (_x_t2021m1) representing the change in the slope for the Gulu population after January 2021 is not significant at the standard 5% level but shows a marginal trend toward the TPR leveling off ( Fig 4 ).

Our COP data did not replicate this result and showed only a marginal trend in favour of the SMT group.

However, all objective measurements showed a marginal trend towards a more intense affective experience with the mediated touch device.

As for minerals, the MR findings revealed a significant causal association of a lack of supplemental magnesium and selenium with the anxiety phenotype, a marginal trend toward the significance of said correlation with additional iron, but no relationship with supplements containing calcium and zinc.

‘Average rank’ had no significant independent effect, but tenure length showed a marginal trend.

The hypertension × time interaction was negative in the larger samples but was not consistently retained, while the BMI × time interaction trended positive but remained statistically non-significant across samples, despite a marginal trend.

Computation of Trend Estimates in PISA In the literature on trend analysis in international large-scale assessments, the original trend is distinguished from a marginal trend ( Gebhardt and Adams, 2007 ; see also Carstensen, 2013 ; Sachse et al., 2016 ).

Additionally, younger patients (<65 years old) and older patients (≥65 years old) simultaneously showed a marginal trend toward a favorable survival duration when they perform surgery, and the finding is supported by interaction tests in this subgroup analysis.

In this case, ERN magnitudes in the control group did not increase, which may suggest that there was a marginal trend of more efficient processing and control of resources in the intervention group.

We demonstrated that there was a marginal trend of association between the MS or FS slope between the eyes with and without macular complications, but this association was not statistically significant. 10 Taking into consideration the effects of PSC, macular complications as potential confounding factors, although there were no CME patients in this study because of the exclusion criteria, we assessed the association between aqueous flare values and the progression of visual field loss ( Table 3 ).

[ 25 , 38 , 39 ] Age, smoking, and education showed no significant associations with mental health outcomes, except for a marginal trend toward lower stress among smokers and lower depression among individuals aged 31 to 50, possibly reflecting greater life stability and resilience.

Finally, the overall TEIQue score also had a marginal trend toward improvement in self-perceived emotional intelligence in the EIT relative to the PAT condition.

The indirect path from response inhibition through decision-making performance to ADHD traits showed a marginal trend.

In addition, the small number of clinical events may have affected the statistical power and robustness; nevertheless, even a marginal trend still merits clinical concern for this molecular subtype.

Expression above the cutoff of WNT3 showed a marginal trend toward overall better survival; however, this was not significant.

With regard to the ACTS Benefit, even a marginal trend toward LMWH was detected [ 20 ].

Notably, under combined nitrogen–phosphorus addition, RN in absorptive roots showed a slight but non-significant increase, suggesting only a marginal trend rather than a clear functional shift in nutrient uptake.

We noted a marginal trend toward higher antibiotics use during or after delivery in the home care group.

In contrast, the main effect of prior knowledge was not significant for any SRL strategies, although elaboration showed a marginal trend.
