“a possible trend”

Clinical and Biological Implications The present analysis suggests a possible trend toward reduced overall survival in patients with centrally located tumors; however, this observation requires confirmation in larger cohorts.

McCormack and colleagues [ 36 ] showed a possible trend between increasing number of live births and rate of change in breast density where nulliparous women experienced a slower rate of decline over time; however, this trend was not statistically significant in a small sample of 645 women.

The length of hospital stay did not differ significantly ( P =0.057), although the P value was close to the threshold for significance, suggesting a possible trend toward longer hospitalisation after bilateral surgery.

There is a possible trend toward an increase in the rate for elevated ALT in our period of interest in the Netherlands, at the end of 2021 or the start of 2022 ( Figure 1B ), but this is not seen in the United Kingdom ( Figure 1A ).

Although the association in the elevated glucose group (FPG≥5.6 mmol/L) did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.072), possibly due to a relatively smaller sample size, the higher point estimate (OR=1.46) suggests a possible trend toward a stronger association.

In conclusion, this double‐blinded randomised controlled pilot showed a possible trend toward a shorter duration of labour in fluid‐restricted participants requiring an IOL.

An effort to identify convergent molecular signatures related to lung adaptation led to comparative transcriptomic analysis of paired, isogenic NTHi strains, isolated from the NP and BAL of children with chronic lung disease, showing no convergence at the gene level, but a possible trend in terms of functional enrichment among genetically unrelated NTHi strains [24] .

This is a typical characteristic for ongoing introgression and hybridization in the contact zone with a possible trend of LP expanding its range eastward (Harrison and Larson 2014 ; Moran et al. 2021 ).

Each year, testing peaked during the respiratory season, with a less significant peak in the postintervention phase, suggesting a possible trend toward reduced testing.

Two recent studies using Cerament in DFO have reported using systemic antibiotics between 4 and 6 weeks, indicating a possible trend that clinicians are now becoming more confident limiting systemic antibiotic duration with antibiotic impregnated Cerament instillation.

However, it is recommended that further studies be carried out taking into account the PMAQ-B cycle III data, in order to identify a possible trend in the behavior of these indicators.

Participant was included as a factor because of the crossover design, and test period was used to adjust for a possible trend or learning effect.

Concerning the comparison between the C and T groups, although none of the genera passed the pre-specified false discovery rate threshold (q < 0.1) for significance, the genera Acinetobacter , Psychrobacter , and Bacteroides , underexpressed in the T group, showed relatively low p -values and consistent effect sizes, suggesting a possible trend toward group-specific differences. 3.2.

In our study, a possible trend toward a higher ORR was seen in patients with PD-L1+ versus PD-L1− tumor-associated immune cells, both in the overall population (16.7% vs. 1.6%) and in the TNBC subgroup (22.2% vs. 2.6%).

showed a possible trend towards stabilization in forced vital capacity (FVC) pre- and post-laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery (LARS) over 1 year, which warranted prospective studies [ 140 ].

Hospital face continued headwinds with limited help from government payers While 2023 Q1 data suggest a possible trend toward more positive financial outcomes, hospitals continue to face both COVID-19–created and new headwinds.

Meta-analytic evidence suggests a possible trend towards reduced risk of HDP with supplementation, although the authors emphasised low certainty because of methodological limitations across trials. 22 Similarly, the Cochrane review concluded that current evidence is insufficient to recommend routine magnesium supplementation for HDP prevention. 23 The characteristics and findings of interventional studies are summarised in Table 2 .

Improvements in proteinuria and stabilization of renal function were observed across cases, with a possible trend toward favorable changes in lipid parameters.

A possible trend of a positive correlation between age and satisfaction and life and work and a negative correlation between age and health satisfaction was observed.

Although there is a possible trend towards a higher potentiation of nAChR in female mice, this was not found to be of statistical significance (see Author response image 1 below).

The lower retained coarse-fraction value observed for the limestone mixtures suggests a possible trend toward greater particle degradation during Marshall compaction.

We observed a possible trend toward TCF1 downregulation in blood CD8 + T cells, but this was less marked than in CD4 + T cells.

Mild portal fibrosis was found in 50% of patients suggesting a possible trend of acute hepatitis towards chronicity.

The interaction test suggested a possible trend toward effect modification by baseline NIHSS ( p for interaction = .068), which should be interpreted as exploratory.

We used the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine a possible trend in the temporal development of AWFR of normoxic cultures.
