A positive trend was found for ε4 heterozygosity in both crude ( β 0.67, p =0.221) and adjusted ( β 0.41, p =0.471) analyses, although neither reached statistical significance (see Table 5 ).

However, only a positive trend was detected between CN status and CDK4 protein expression in the entire cohort ( n = 104, p = 0.2285, data not shown).

However, we observed a positive trend in the surface defect closure rate in cells stimulated with 100 ng/mL of CTRP8 (1.26 ± 0.17-fold; p = 0.23).

Results: Despite a positive trend is shown for anterior fat volume (AFV) ( P = 0.23) and fat volume (FV) ( P = 0.28), statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05) were not found between Group A and B in any of the measurements acquired.

However, a positive trend was observed between higher maternal BMI and milk volume (β = 17.1, 95% CI: -14.8 to 49.1, p = 0.24), and infants receiving formula tended to consume greater volumes of milk compared to exclusively breastfed infants, although this association was not statistically significant (β = 61.5, 95% CI: -165.9 to 288.9, p = 0.58).

A positive trend for CVD mortality was statistically significant in Japanese-American and White men, although no heterogeneity was found across the five racial/ethnic groups ( P = 0.24).

A positive trend in favor of ferumoxytol was also demonstrated in the Cancer subgroup compared with placebo (ferumoxytol 51.7% vs. placebo 30.0%; P = 0.2478), although the difference was not statistically significant.

This study showed a positive trend between 24-h EPO and 24-h NIHSS (r = 0.101 , p = 0.250), negative trend between 24-h EPO and 7th day NIHSS (r = − 0.174, p = 0.121) and positive trend between 24-h EPO and delta NIHSS (r = 0.186, p = 0.106) (Table 3 and Fig. 1 ).

A positive trend favouring pazopanib was also recorded in overall survival (12.5 months versus 10.7 months), without reaching a statistical significance (P = 0.25) [ 6 ].

Correlations between predictor variables and metrics of trophic overlap were not significant (Table 3 ), although fish–jellyfish overlap showed a positive trend with PC1 ( r = .3, p = .25) and a negative trend with PC3 ( r = −.34, p = .19). 4 Discussion 4.1 General patterns at the species, assemblage, and community level Our findings provide a broad picture of pelagic fish and jellyfish trophic structure across an urbanizing estuary.

In the hTERT WT data, we found that SPE scores had a positive trend with expansion ( r = 0.51, p = 2.5 e − 1, Fig.

In contrast, interventions shorter than one year, while demonstrating a positive trend (OR = 1.42[0.77–2.62]), did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.26) and exhibited moderate heterogeneity among studies (I2=40%).

Other laboratory parameters such as leucocytes registered a positive trend in both groups with a mean difference of 3.73 ± 7.214 10 9 /L in the treated group and 5.17 ± 7.66 10 9 /L in controls ( p = 0.26 and p = 0.52, respectively).

However, the correlation of IRF-1 activation between controls and IFN- γ plus TNF- α -stimulated cells was not statistically significant although it maintained a positive trend ( P =0.27, ρ =0.30, Figure 1D ).

Regarding to OS analysis, absence of liver metastases confirmed to be associated with better outcomes ( p = 0.0002); conversely, “high” leptin/VAT ratio did not reached stastical significance, despite a positive trend toward association was still confirmed ( p = 0.27), considering the early follow-up evalutation (Table 2 ).

On the other hand, there was a positive trend with a margin of more than 2 mm (HR 0.6 [95% CI 0.2–1.5]; p = 0.275) (Table 4 ).

Notably, the implantation rate showed a positive trend in the LE group (43.3% vs. 36.4%, P = 0.279).

When performing a simple mixed effects logistic regression model, the less finely ground, pelleted feed did not seem to significantly impact the odds of severe gastric lesions, however, there was a positive trend towards an effect (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 1.72 (0.64–4.63), p = 0.28).

Although no significant relationship between AUC/MIC ratio and microbiological/clinical cure was found, a positive trend was observed at logistic regression ( p = 0.28) [ 124 ].

The total antibody response to 2 vaccine doses, calculated as above, had a positive trend with CD8+ naive cells ( p = 0.28, r 2 = 0.09 and p = 0.092, r 2 = 0.77; unadjusted and adjusted for prior COVID-19 respectively) [Fig. 5 A].

Although we found a positive trend, the relationship was not significant (logarithmic regression: R 2 = 0.22, F 1,6 = 1.45; p = 0.28) due to one outlying data point ( P. nyererei × A. calliptera , cross 7; the exclusion of this outlier resulted in a strong positive correlation: R 2 = 0.81, F 1,5 = 17.32; p = 0.014).

This is underscored by a 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis [ 44 ] in which the pooled results from six trials showed a positive trend (relative risk = 0.67, p = 0.29) but the outcomes were not statistically different.
