“a mild trend”

For Child-Pugh class B patients, the CCC 2019 criteria also showed a mild trend toward higher OR of 1.11 (95% CI [0.91, 1.34]) however it did not reach statistical significance.

This outcome is not unexpected, as the statistical analysis showed that Normal and Moderate differ only slightly, although some features exhibit a mild trend toward lower-frequency displacement.

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

In the presence of GDP, UCP1 showed a large increase in stability toward lower pH values, compared with only a mild trend in the absence of the nucleotide ( Fig. 6 B ).

Interestingly, the absolute width of the forming cardiac tube, which approximately coincides with the width of the pericardial cavity, not only does not increase during development but shows a mild trend to reduction as development progresses (Fig. 3e ).

Finally, we found a mild trend toward higher integration strength with the surrounding hyaline cartilage but no significant increase when compared with day 0 controls.

There was only a mild trend to a better preservation of diastolic function in the tenecteplase group that could be considered as marginal.

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).

APA analysis of the RpII215 C4 mutant strain, which harbors a mutant RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) with a slower elongation rate, revealed that a 50% decrease in transcriptional elongation rate leads to a mild trend of more usage of proximal, weaker PASs, both in 3′UTRs and in introns, consistent with the “first come, first served” model of APA regulation.

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

Moreover, there was a mild trend of an elevation of basal OCR and ECAR in HEK cells overexpressing CBS versus control or wild-type HEK cells (fig.

Instead, only a mild trend was seen for blood magnesium and zinc.

Then, echocardiography data demonstrated a larger LA area with decreased LVEF of Crem mice compared to WT mice, which showed a mild trend of improvement in Crem+AAV9 mice (Figure 7F,G ).

Conversely, these transcripts were poorly expressed in aPVAT, where they were found in a range similar to that seen in iWAT, with the exception of a mild trend for higher expression of Ucp1 in aPVAT.

Compared with wt mice, the number of cholinergic neurons in tg mice showed a mild trend to decrease at 6 m old, yet no significant difference existed between wt and tg mice ( S1 Fig .).

Meanwhile, forced expression of KLF11 by adenovirus in db/db diabetic mice livers significantly decreases blood glucose levels even in a mild trend.

A mild trend toward separation was, however, observed among participants with hematuria, consistent with the known clinical association between hematuria and bladder cancer presentation (see Supplementary Figure S1 ) [ 4 , 16 ].

In our entire studied sample, coexistent CLT didn’t show significant association with many aggressive features in malignancy, except that CLT-coexisted group had a greater mean lesion size with a mild trend to have lesions > 1 cm compared with the other group.

However, the adaptive condition showed a mild trend toward higher Valence, and SASSI ratings confirmed high overall acceptability, with users reporting low annoyance and high likability.

At 13 weeks and 5 days of gestation, the fetal hydrops showed a mild trend toward resolution; however, tricuspid valve regurgitation was more than moderate and worsened, and right ventricular contractility continued to decrease.

According to this division, a significantly increased right to left ventricular weight ratio was observed in the failing group, and there was a mild trend toward increased body weight, explainable by increased fluid retention.
