“a possible trend”

One study has investigated the association between exposure to asbestos and the risk of Barrett’s oesophagus, finding a possible trend that was not significant on multivariate analysis. 20 Asbestos as a risk factor for adenocarcinoma but not squamous cell carcinoma It is not surprising that the oesophagus might be particularly susceptible to the harmful effects of ingested asbestos; however, it is less clear why ingested asbestos should be a risk factor for adenocarcinoma but not for squamous cell cancer.

While only a portion of the studies ( n = 4) could be pooled, this analysis suggests a possible trend of increasing hypertension among highly annoyed groups when compared with not annoyed or moderately and not annoyed groups.

Although the present study did not find a statistically significant difference, a possible trend of variation between groups was observed, with increased values in patients with tinnitus disorder.

This suggests that LDA was better at identifying a possible trend between the classification accuracies and the lower limb FMA scores. 4.3.

It is encouraging that the current toxicokinetics and safety studies in nanozyme research use the same administration route and dose as the efficacy studies, allowing the alignment of toxicity evaluation with the therapeutic efficacy and thus the investigation of a possible trend in the nanozyme behavior in the whole organism.

Finally, the 2024 and 2025 data reflect a possible trend shift.

These results indicate a possible trend, but not conclusive evidence, of allelic association ( Table 3 ). 3.4.

The plot also indicates a greater range in bias scores at higher minutes of MVPA and a possible trend whereby participants with high levels of MVPA reported relatively lower MVPA on the AAS.

In the present study, the antipruritic effect suggested a possible trend in favor of sertaconazole though the numbers were too small to yield statistical significance.

However, the clear separation observed in the Kaplan–Meier curve between patients with and without OH suggests a possible trend toward a higher risk of this outcome among patients with symptomatic OH.

Rather than establishing causality, these results hint at a possible trend in which insomnia-related BAG may be more observable in midlife and older adults.

Conclusions Although this study was not powered for a formal comparison, the systemic treatment patterns and outcomes of BCLC-B and C HCC patients seemed comparable, with a possible trend towards better PFS and OS in BCLC-B patients. 27.

As for the search of the ideal conditions of radio-enhancement, only effects of incident protons have been simulated, and there is no indication of a possible trend of the track structure effect, thus emphasizing an ion type dependence (beyond pure LET), as has been demonstrated for the RBE (Friedrich et al. 2013 ).

Biochemical measures revealed a possible trend for iron accumulation in the cerebellum and decreased levels of iron within the CSF and plasma of patients with type C1 disease [ 85 ].

Observed differences in perceived political voice and general sense of community from the focus groups portray a possible trend of increasing personal agency over health and a decreasing sense of community.

A possible trend resulting from the descriptive analysis of the EQ VAS data at the three survey time points based on the calculated mean values (74.6% vs. 69.7% vs. 74.2%) has no statistical significance due to the limited sample size.

The DID analysis is well-suited for our problem since there is a possible trend in the pattern of prescription choice, and a reasonably parallel trend between treated and controlled groups is observed.

In addition, it also demonstrated a possible trend for males to have a higher malignancy risk compared to females.

The heat maps suggested a possible trend of skeletal muscle catabolism for most polar compounds detected in samples from hatchlings exposed only to crude oil ( Figure S19 in Supplementary Materials ).

We reported at endpoint (Green et al., 2015 ) a possible trend towards negative impact of the intervention on early language development and auditory neural sensitivity.

( 2004 ) observed a possible trend for certain unfavorable prognostic parameters (e.g., young women, low-graded tumors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 over-expression) that could be related to higher serum levels of sE-selectin.

There is a possible trend of an improvement of mean change of BCVA from 1 to 12 months after surgery, except at 6 months (Figure 2 ).

There is a possible trend for E. coli with highest values in September and lowest in December and an opposite pattern for ACC, but these are not statistically significant (Table 2 ).

A borderline moderate positive correlation was found between LD-BMA therapy duration and OHIP-14 impact scores ( ρ = 0.29), suggesting a possible trend toward reduced perceived oral quality of life with longer treatment. 4 Discussion The present study aims to assess dental and periodontal health status and quality of life in patients under LD-BMA therapy for CTIBL.

To discern a possible trend reversal, a comparison must be made between teaching before and after the COVID-19 outbreak.
