However, ferritin levels demonstrated a borderline association with paternal and maternal employment status ( p = 0.058 and p = 0.089, respectively), indicating a possible trend toward lower iron stores among students whose parents were unemployed.
However, upon further examination, AP and JvD rejected the potential item because the element of environmental sustainability was not present as an item directly related to partnership in the data but rather emerged as an insight into a possible trend for future considerations within community-based research that the authors personally identified with.
One surprising result of our study was a possible trend toward higher mortality of the 14-3-3θ-injected J20 mice compared with the GFP-injected mice.
When separating these results based on income economy type, there is a possible trend between lower SES and increased snacking in high-income economies.
The median time to remission (CR/PR) in the TAC group was 54 weeks compared to 40 weeks in the TAC/MMF group, suggesting a possible trend to earlier remission in the TAC/MMF group, but this was not statistically significant ( p = 0.46).
However, the occurrence of new strokes exclusively in the MMD subgroup suggests a possible trend toward more aggressive disease in idiopathic cases, although statistical confirmation was limited by the small sample size.
Then, the functions estimateGLMTrendedDisp() and estimateGLMTagwiseDisp() were used to estimate genewise dispersion allowing a possible trend with average count size as recommended for experiments with multiple factors.
Cumulative meta-analysis In order to investigate whether a possible trend may be assumed in the comparison of GIC and resin, the chronological results from 5 datasets, concerning sealed teeth after 2 years (DS 06), 2-3 years (DS 21), 3 years (DS 04,27) and 3.64 years (DS 05) [ 20 - 22 , 27 , 31 ], were included in a cumulative meta-analysis and its results were generated in the form of a forest plot (Figure 4 ).
Although this P -value slightly exceeds the conventional significance threshold ( P < .05), it approaches borderline significance, suggesting a possible trend toward small-study effects or publication bias.
For NMOSD patients, age, EDSS, physical activity, ALP, vitamin D3, and phosphorus levels exhibited significant relationships, while BMI showed a possible trend.
This is particularly relevant in the nilotinib-treated subgroup, with 6 out of 7 patients remaining in remission at the time of writing, suggesting a possible trend in favour of the second-generation TKI.
The only notable finding was that the interaction term for rescue medication use between 2 and 24 h approached significance in the adjusted model ( P = 0.054, 95% confidence interval = 0.99–5.12), suggesting a possible trend toward increased use of rescue medication in patients with aura using eTNS (Table 2 ; Fig. 2 b).
Other studies have seen a trend toward BMI as a risk factor [ 32 - 34 ], where the current study saw a possible trend as a protective factor.
Figure 7 shows sex stratified MAE: Xrayhead performed worse in females (MAE 3.39 years) versus males (1.57 years), suggesting a possible trend toward sex-related variation; however, this finding should be interpreted cautiously because of the relatively small female subgroup.
Moreover, the fact that some male students were classified as low strength despite relatively high absolute values suggests a possible trend of declining muscular fitness among younger males.
This finding was consistent with the untransformed data, suggesting a possible trend but no statistically significant association.
Hypertension was the only characteristic that approached statistical significance (p = 0.10), suggesting a possible trend but not reaching the predefined threshold for significance.
Although not reported here but seen as a possible trend in our variance analysis, we suspect that there might be a stronger benefit in retention efficiency for male students, which is worth investigating further in a follow-up study.
Although no statistically significant associations were found between different modes and overall weight status, there was a possible trend that students who travel to school by car were at a lower risk of being overweight or obese.
1 , 2 ) and that there is a possible trend towards decreased biomechanical strength upon priming (Fig. 3 d).
Consistent with this hypothesis, a previous analysis of the proportion of patients experiencing a flare over the course of the study and the rate of flares by baseline OCS dosage (0, 0 to ≤5, 5> to ≤10, >10 mg/day), identified a possible trend for increased efficacy of mepolizumab in groups with higher baseline OCS dosage ( 9 ).
The pooled result suggested a possible trend toward a higher infection risk with the VAV mode, but this did not reach statistical significance (OR = 3.66, 95% CI 0.70–19.15, p = 0.126).
Lastly, although not statistically significant, the cancellation/rescheduled surveys suggest a possible trend that patients may be more likely to cancel/delay their telemedicine appointment if hours of operation are inflexible ( n = 33, x̄ = 1.970), if they are unable to pay for the encounter ( n = 33, x̄ = 1.879), or if their provider is not easily accessible ( n = 33, x̄ = 1.788).
The haplotypes ‘C-C’ and ‘G-C’ (rs59763167-rs521099) and ‘A-A-A’ (rs33982662-rs34936112-rs73566945) of CEP164 and INPP5E , respectively, were overrepresented either in the PCG cases or controls and exhibited a possible trend of association (based on uncorrected p value) but did not withstand statistical correction ( Table 2 ).
Likewise, as the number of fractions remained constant over time, a possible trend toward hypofractionation and acceleration, as propagated for prostate and breast cancer by recent studies [ 16 , 17 ], is not present in our data.
