“a nonsignificant trend”

Histologic analysis of the infarcted ventricles revealed that there was a nonsignificant trend toward less myocardial scarring at 30 days in the SSO 2 group versus normoxemic controls.

Furthermore, the results of the current study showed a nonsignificant trend toward improved survival for current smokers (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.37‐1.12) that remained consistent across univariant and multivariant analysis.

71 Interestingly, upon meta-analysis, there was a nonsignificant trend toward a greater reduction of HbA 1c in trials enrolling patients with a mean baseline HbA 1c less than 8%. 51 A clear explanation for this discrepancy is not currently available.

Our current results indicate that, chronic ethanol consumption leads to a nonsignificant trend toward impaired Bdnf relative mRNA expression in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.

Furthermore, there was a nonsignificant trend toward lower arginine: asymmetric dimethylarginine ratio in septic patients with slow recovery, suggesting lower arginine bioavailability for NOS, when compared to patients with rapid recovery.

This relationship was not specific to CCT though, and overall, there was a nonsignificant trend: the more strongly disease-associated a gene expression level was on average, the more likely it was to be expressed more in the moderately affected hemisphere.

In the study reported here, pulmonary vascular resistance increased significantly after RBC transfusion and there was a nonsignificant trend towards an increase in systemic vascular resistance.

The SKY study, which included patients with early-stage PD receiving stable dopaminergic therapy, revealed no significant benefit of deferiprone in improving motor symptoms, except for a nonsignificant trend toward improvement at a dose of 600 mg twice daily.

These data showed a nonsignificant trend between low frequency of micronuclei and absence of putative risk factors such as age, age at first sexual intercourse, number of partners, use of oral contraceptives and numbers of pregnancies and abortions.

Macroscopic studies in VaD revealed mean volumes of infarcted brain loss of 39–47 ml (range 1–229 ml) (Zekry et al., 2003a ), while others suggested that dementia is not consistently related to the volume of infarction (del Ser et al., 1990 ) or found only a nonsignificant trend for lobar infarcts to occupy more brain volume than in patients without dementia (Vinters et al., 2000 ).

Boswellia serrata extract has been tried in a placebo-controlled trial, showing a nonsignificant trend in favor of active treatment [ 110 ].

The observation of a nonsignificant trend of an independent association between OSA and triglicerydes/HDL ratio, a marker of insulin resistance, may be due to the lack of power to detect this difference.

A nonsignificant trend toward fewer implant revisions has been observed in studies since 2010 (14.3% versus 17.9%).

A large study on 1372 patients found a nonsignificant trend towards higher MIB-1 index in older patients, ( 35 ) and another study on 385 patients, showed no differences in MIB-1 indices in relation to age.

The cytosolic probe also responded rapidly, with a nonsignificant trend for probe recovery after 20 min.

Lipid-induced insulin resistance led to lower pAS160 Ser341 and a nonsignificant trend for lower pAS160 Ser588 with unaltered IRS-1–PI3K, pAkt, or pS160 Thr642 .

We have previously shown that in DS polymorphisms in PICALM and APOE are associated with AOO of dementia, and there is a nonsignificant trend in risk allele loading derived from AD meta-analysis ( Jones et al., 2013 ).

Increasing severity of hypospadias was associated with a nonsignificant trend for reductions in penile length SDS (glanular or subcoronal: –1.15 ± 1.10; penile: –1.57 ± 1.64; perineal: –2.19 ± 1.01; p trend = 0.077) and AGD SDS (glanular or subcoronal: –0.82 ± 0.97; penile: –0.92 ± 0.75; perineal: –1.43 ± 0.87; p trend = 0.21).

The change in PFS and OS represented a nonsignificant trend, suggesting the need for larger studies.

Interestingly, although these two groups showed a nonsignificant trend in differences in ethanol drinking before the initiation of CIE, they began to diverge dramatically two weeks into CIE, and this pattern persisted for the remaining weeks of CIE.

At 10 mg/L, the extract produced only partial recovery, with a nonsignificant trend toward improvement ( Figure 5 B).

The NCI-9742 trial showed a nonsignificant trend for improved ORR in PD-L1-positive tumors, 56 whereas the JUPITER-02 and POLARIS-02 studies both demonstrated that patients benefited from immunotherapy, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, regardless of PD-L1 expression. 15 , 57 Due to incomplete PD-L1 testing in our cohort, we could not assess its correlation with the outcomes.

We found a nonsignificant trend towards a reduction in possible cell–cell interaction after TBI (Fig. 2 D–E).

Brashears et al. (2003) found a nonsignificant trend for the effect of the CS to be greater for musicians than for nonmusicians when the CS was presented to the left ear, but our results revealed no such trend.

Childhood exposure to farming environment was significantly more common in N-ERD than asthma without N-ERD, whereas a nonsignificant trend was seen compared to healthy controls.
