“a possible trend”

Moreover, each parameter was analysed through one-way ANOVA to pinpoint significant differences; the homogeneous group approach was used as an additional tool to uncover a possible trend through time.

Across education levels, no statistically significant associations emerged ( P for interaction = .503), although point estimates suggested a possible trend in participants with less than high school education (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.99–1.11).

We plotted aridity versus plague incidence, then soil salinity versus plague incidence and also, we fitted a Loess regression to identify a possible trend between plague incidence and soil status (Fig. 6 ).

While no significant effect was found in the bottom-adherence group (seven studies) 16 18 20 24 26 31 when compared with the control group, the result (p=0.05) was close to the significance threshold (p<0.05), suggesting a possible trend toward an effect.

The observed differences in hearing loss across DR-TB types suggest a possible trend, with higher rates among pre-XDR patients.

Another explanation may include a possible trend in Canada toward middle class or wealthy populations living in older, more established neighbourhoods and homes.

Furthermore, this theme demonstrated the lowest disparity rate, suggesting a possible trend over time.

Trial series B In order to detect a possible trend of concentration increase or decrease, three dental treatments each were performed in offices two and seven using the same handpiece on two consecutive days wiping with a disinfectant after each treatment and mechanical cleansing at the end of the first day.

Despite very limited, a slight association with PGA also emerged for age (β = 0.172, p = 0.075, 95% CI [−0.002–0.041]), suggesting a possible trend towards higher severity scores in the elderly population.

While there was a possible trend consistent with faster swimming speeds of northern forms relative to their southern counterparts, the functional differences between ecomorphs were similar in both clades.

High myopes showed a hazard ratio of 1.54 ( P = .35), indicating a possible trend toward increased risk, but this was not statistically significant.

Analysis within our small cohort also showed a possible trend of increasing AAO with repeat expansion size.

The pooled analysis showed an SMD of − 0.29 (95% CI: − 0.63 to 0.04), and the difference did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.087), suggesting a possible trend toward improvement in AST levels with exercise interventions, although the evidence remains insufficient (Fig. 5 ).

SHBG approaches significance (F-statistic: 2.78, p = 0.07), indicating a possible trend that might be investigated further with a larger sample size.

While anxiety and depressive symptoms scores were not statistically significant, their confidence intervals reflect a possible trend that requires further exploration with larger and more diverse samples of children and young adults with IBD.

However, identification of a possible trend for well-performing label probes would need the systematic analysis of a larger amount of different labels. 3.2.

[ 133 ] of women in labour with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (N = 150) found that the group that received transcervical amnioinfusion (N = 50) showed a possible trend toward reduced perinatal mortality compared to a group (N = 100) receiving standard care (4% vs. 13%, respectively; RR = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.07–1.31).

[ 51 ] concluded that there was no significant difference in seizure control efficacy between LEV and PB(with high heterogeneity), but reported that LEV was associated with significantly lower rates of hypotension, respiratory depression, and depressed sensorium, and a possible trend toward better short-term neurodevelopmental outcome—in only one RCT with pure cohorts.

A recently published meta-analysis of 14 eligible studies showed that circulating fetuin-A levels are significantly higher in patients with MetS compared to controls, with a possible trend towards an increase in the risk of MetS with an increase in the circulating fetuin-A concentrations [ 87 ].

Although the observed increase was not statistically significant, it may indicate a possible trend that merits further exploration.

Reactogenicity and safety profiles were similar for the 3 regimens, with a possible trend for lower reactogenicity after hexavalent DTaP-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccination.

Similarly, a small number of high-VIM cases fell into the grade 1 Silverberg–Shimizu group, with a possible trend towards lower expression in grades 2 and 3, but the differences are not strong enough for significance.

Comparing the distribution of scores for the 123 "users" of systematic reviews and the 101 "non-users", we could not detect a significant difference, but there seemed to be a possible trend towards higher scores in the first group ( Figure 3 ).

0.59 to 1.01; P = 0.055), suggesting a possible trend.

For the LLs, Guard Fighters presented a higher mean value (4.262%) compared to Pass Fighters (2.518%), although this difference was not significant ( p = 0.211, ES = 0.644), suggesting a possible trend warranting further analysis.
