“a nonsignificant trend”

For GTR versus biopsy (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.34–1.01, p = 0.053) and STR versus biopsy (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.56–1.06, p = 0.114), there was a nonsignificant trend toward better survival.

Their analysis found a nonsignificant trend favoring the FMT group as compared to the medical treatment group.

Although S1P receptor modulator–treated patients composed a smaller cohort, we observed a nonsignificant trend between longer cumulative duration of S1P receptor modulator therapy and lower total spike and spike RBD IgG levels ( Figure 1, I and J ).

26 Methotrexate The only study of methotrexate in progressive MS revealed a nonsignificant trend in sustained reduction of disease progression on the Expanded Disability Status Scale and number of relapses in favor of methotrexate.

SBS etiology, on the contrary, was not found to be a significant predictor of these outcomes, although a nonsignificant trend towards both higher response rates (+9%, 95%CI: (−8%, +27%)) and higher weaning rates (+7%, 95%CI: (−14%, +28%)) could be observed in patients with Crohn’s disease.

Although numerous nonrandomized studies have reported a nonsignificant trend toward improved survival using continuous methods [ 218 – 225 ], 2 meta-analyses [ 226 , 227 ] report the absence of significant difference in hospital mortality between patients who receive continuous and intermittent renal replacement therapies.

When the two patients with outlying values for BAFF mRNA and CC genotype were not taken into account, a nonsignificant trend was observed toward an association between BAFF polymorphism and BAFF mRNA levels (median normalized BAFF mRNA level: 43.8 in patients carrying -871 T allele and 30.2 in patients with CC genotype; P = 0.24).

In July, the four species stimulated the most by clipping were all invasive, one of which exhibited a nonsignificant trend (Figure 4 ).

After cfPWV adjustment, EVA remained associated with increased mean CIMT and carotid plaque, while SUPERNOVA showed a nonsignificant trend toward a lower risk.

The small sample size may have led to a type 2 error with respect to the lack of observed association between CMV IgG index and outcome, insofar as there was a nonsignificant trend toward increased incident TB in those with higher CMV IgG indices.

In children undergoing hypnosis, there was a nonsignificant trend towards reduced anxiety during induction compared with midazolam in one trial.

However, there was a nonsignificant trend towards a reduction of sociosexuality levels in men with TBI.

Interestingly, we observed a nonsignificant trend in the geminin/Ki67 ratio between grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 tumours, with increasing values signifying an accelerated G1 phase in the more poorly differentiated tumours ( Table 1 ).

5 , 40 , 41 , 42 In sensitivity analyses stratified by global cognitive status, female individuals showed higher neuritic plaque burden at the severe dementia level (CDR 3) and a nonsignificant trend toward higher CERAD neuropathological scores in the cognitively unimpaired group (CDR 0) after adjustment.

14 Two subsequent meta-analyses, which included patients with NICM as well as ICM, reached more modest conclusions, indicating a nonsignificant trend of lower all-cause mortality and VT recurrence with substrate modification compared to VT induction and mapping. 13 , 15 Yet even with modern substrate modification approaches, attempting to induce VT immediately after ablation remains standard practice.

A nonsignificant trend only pointed towards further executive dysfunction in the test response inhibition, but all three scores are related to motor impairment and/or ataxia severity.

Participants’ answers to case study questions showed a nonsignificant trend toward a greater willingness to use office-based spirometry in the initial assessment of suspected COPD (98% versus 90%, Table 3 ) and in the long-term monitoring of confirmed COPD (86% versus 76%, Table 4 ) compared with nonparticipants.

There was a nonsignificant trend toward prolonged survival in patients with low or high levels of MVPA-SL compared with no MVPA-SL (HR adj : 0.58; 95% CI = 0.32 to 1.04) and 0.48; 95% CI = 0.27 to 0.89), respectively; Figure 1, B ).

In one recent study, there was a nonsignificant trend toward an increase in nonenhancing tumor progression in patients treated with bevacizumab compared with those treated with nonantiangiogenic therapy. 13 Continuous blockade of VEGF-induced vascular proliferation may promote tumor “escape” through vascular co-option, which may radiographically manifest itself as infiltrative, nonenhancing FLAIR progression.

Importantly, those that received Eritoran treatment after PR8 infection but prior to Sp3 superinfection showed a significant decrease ( P < 0.05) in both COX2 and IFN-β mRNA expression and a nonsignificant trend toward decreased IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA expression ( Fig.

Post hoc analyses of this subgroup showed higher mortality at day 180 in the usual-oxygen group, and there was a nonsignificant trend toward unfavorable outcome on the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale in the usual-oxygen group.

However, if rFSH is administered from day 8 onwards, a nonsignificant trend toward premature progesterone elevation was detected, with no significant difference between corifollitropin and daily rFSH. 16 Finally, multiple pregnancies tended to be more frequent for corifollitropin alfa (+ 4.4% absolute risk increase) than for daily rFSH in the ENGAGE Trial. 3 Flexible

For instance, younger patients (≤ 50 years) exhibited a stronger prognostic association (HR 0.61; 95% CI: 0.40–0.94) compared to older patients (> 50 years), who showed a nonsignificant trend (HR 0.62; 95% CI: 0.37–1.05) with higher heterogeneity (I2 = 66%).

There was a statistically significant linear increase in lutein status with increasing F&V intake, and a nonsignificant trend for increasing vitamin C and β-carotene status ( Table 2 ).

There may also be a positive effect of juvenile awareness programs on levels of risk factors for delinquency, such as school dropout, having delinquent friends, and being hostile, as we found a nonsignificant trend.
