“a mild trend”

For example, in a 2025 retrospective database study including 130,263 US veterans, authors reported a mild trend for decline in risk of hospitalization odds for JN.1 and KP compared to XBB, (September 2023–October 2024) [ 45 ].

There was a mild trend with age and attitudes, with older people tending to have a preference for longer life.

A recent meta-analysis [ 70 ], including 7 RCTs and 10 observational studies, reported that there was a mild trend toward improved survival in favor of SLED-treated patients with AKI (RR 0.86; 95% CI 0.74–1.00), although the evidence was weak because of a lack of significant differences when RCTs were considered separately.

Although the differences in TIM-3 expression on CD4 + and CD8 + T cells were not statistically significant, a mild trend toward higher expression was observed in non-survivors.

Mmp12 was the most significantly upregulated gene across all our cohorts (except for a mild trend in the female C57BL/6J model), but was more significantly increased in males, while Trem2 was more significantly increased in females ( Fig. 7 B,D,F,I,K,M), which was consistent across our additional mouse models ( Fig.

Analysis of EM sections revealed a mild trend of reduced nuclear-mitochondrial membrane contact sites in the untreated parasites compared with the iTgNup503 line; however, no change in the abundance of the nuclear mitochondrial membrane contact sites following TgNup134 depletion was seen ( Fig. 5 E ) in support of the specificity of the observed reduction upon TgNup503 depletion.

VPS15 (Vacuolar Protein Sorting 15) and VPS30 expression have not been much notably changed during the first two phases, but their expression tends to follow a mild trend of NSRGs.

However, we observed numerically a mild trend favoring faecal calprotectin.

A mild trend was identified with better survival rates for the Magna group than for the Trifecta group, but no statistical difference was observed: 88.4 ± 3.4% and 77.1 ± 5.3%, respectively, at 5 years and 76.4 ± 7.1% and 73.6 ± 3.1%, respectively, at 8 years (p = 0.346).

Unexpectedly, there is even a mild trend towards an increase of the system mortality rate towards higher cutoff levels for annual admission volume.

We found a decrease in high-mannose N-glycans and a mild trend to increase sialylations ( Figure S1 ), whereas the most consistent observation was an increase in fucosylated N-glycans ( Figure 1 D).

We saw a mild trend toward higher relative myoglobin elimination after 24 h of treatment among patients experiencing CK decrease than among patients with documented CK increase during treatment with either HF80 or CytoSorb, but the results did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 5 A).

To our surprise, in the absence of SIRT1, the NMN rescue by cell death or ROS levels were not affected (there was a mild trend towards reduction in the control cells, but the difference was not significant).

Secretion of human insulin showed a mild trend toward an enhanced stimulation in response to glucose/arginine as compared with IgG control-treated mice ( Fig. 5 F ).

Although the difference in proliferation was not significant at any of the chosen time points, we observed a mild trend toward decreased proliferation in the pBABE‐TCF21 clones (Fig. 2 A).

Hypertension showed a mild trend in non-paroxysmal AF [OR 1.63 (95% CI 1.22–2.18)] but none in paroxysmal AF [OR 0.95 (95% CI 0.42–2.11)], though the subgroup difference was not significant ( P = 0.21) (see Supplementary material online , Figure S5A ).

We observed only a mild trend toward reduction in the frequency of apoptosis in HSPC subsets in Tet2 -KO relative to WT mice (Supplementary Fig. 7a ).

While a mild trend was noted, TXNIP did not sufficiently differentiate PCOS cases from controls.

While some CF studies suggest a mild trend toward decreased HDL-C and alterations in HDL particle size distribution, the overall health implications of these changes remain unclear.

A mild trend for larger amplification in slow frequency power is shown for network size > 200.

There was no significant difference between the two groups, but in weeks 5-8 a mild trend towards a greater Fig. 1 Headache severity as scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS).

Proteobacteria displayed a mild trend with FUDS+ birds having the lowest relative abundance when compared to asymptomatic and healthy birds.

On other hand, we found a mild trend in this domain with less citation score which indicates that researchers and readers are curious to see some advanced workout to predict financial defaults.

Plants with mis‐expressed miR390 (OXMIR390, Figure 1 e) had overall similar response to wild type, albeit with a mild trend toward increased primary root length in low (0.1–1 nM) IAA concentration.

A mild trend of increased 23 Na signal in GAS was found during the first exercise recovery, which could result from an increased extracellular space fraction and would be in agreement with the higher T 2 * values measured simultaneously [ 27 ].
