“a possible trend”

We tried to identify a possible trend in complications during the study period, but, in the end, we did not find any difference.

The effect sizes for the differences suggested a possible trend toward longer time in bed (Cohen’s d = 0.48), more WASO (Cohen’s d = 0.36), and longer SOL (Cohen’s d = 0.27) among patients with portosystemic collaterals than those without collaterals.

For facial redness, we found a possible trend pointing towards increasing effect with increasing saturation.

Moreover, the analyses indicate a possible trend whereby participants with shorter cancer duration, younger age, or male gender tend to experience relatively larger improvements following the intervention, as reflected in certain scale outcomes.

• Exploratory observation showed high CEACAM5 expression (H-score ≥100) in semi-solid, lepidic lesions may track with radiographic evolution (including emergence of a new radiographic solid component and higher PanCK+ tumor cell composition), suggesting a possible trend with invasiveness in otherwise radiographically indolent-appearing lesions.

Notably, ERBB4 mutations were observed in 5.8% of H/L patients compared to 2.3% of NHW patients ( p = 0.1077), and IGF1R mutations were detected in 7.2% of H/L patients versus 2.9% of NHW patients ( p = 0.07798), indicating a possible trend toward increased RTK pathway activation in H/L patients.

29 In our study, the difference in A3 aggregate accuracy approached significance, suggesting a possible trend that warrants further investigation.

The pooled results suggested a possible trend toward better outcomes in the IPC group; however, considerable heterogeneity and small sample sizes limit the robustness of this finding.

Moreover, distribution of the data suggested a possible trend for variance in female data changing in the opposite direction ( Fig 1 ).

Although the hazard ratios (HRs) for all microRNAs were greater than 1—suggesting a possible trend toward increased mortality risk with higher expression levels—their confidence intervals included 1, confirming the absence of statistical significance ( Table 5 ).

We also found a possible trend that AlloDerm may decrease the incidences of salivary fistula and facial nerve paralysis, and improve facial contour.

At follow‐up, 6 weeks after the last administration of ISIS 388626, a possible trend toward an increased urinary glucose excretion and increased fractional glucose excretion was observed in the treatment group compared to placebo.

A first analysis was run on the consecutive time-points during the lockdown to inspect the presence of a possible trend in the cognitive performance throughout the isolation/lockdown period.

These findings suggest a possible trend toward increased mortality with elevated NLR after IVT, but the current evidence remains inconclusive.

The proportional hazard assumption was studied by Schoenfeld partial residuals and their correlation with the rank order of failure times and by introducing time dependent interaction terms for the covariates in the model to detect a possible trend over time of the hazard ratio [ 16 , 17 ].

(p = 0.651) Paternal occupation in Model V had a p-value just over the 5% cut-off, (p = 0.057) indicating a possible trend in the same direction as Model IV.

These findings suggest a possible trend toward greater cardiotoxicity burden in female patients.

This suggests a possible trend toward a younger onset of dementia attributable to HFPG within the Chinese context, indicating the need to focus more on the relatively younger older adults.

Therefore, a possible trend in dynamics with ATP hydrolysis is preserved (cholesterol increases ATPase activity).

Educational level demonstrated a marginally significant association, suggesting a possible trend worthy of further exploration.

These findings suggest a possible trend toward increased infectious risk among patients treated under GA, particularly for pneumonia, but these associations did not reach statistical significance after adjustment and should be interpreted cautiously.

A moderate correlation was observed between total microcalcification count and runtime (Pearson r = 0.87), though this did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.056), suggesting a possible trend where larger particle counts may increase processing time.

Becker et al., in a matched-pair analysis from the TR-DGU, found that early SSRF / CWR (within 48 h) was associated with reduced pneumonia and ICU LOS compared with later SSRF / CWR, with a possible trend towards reduced mortality [ 2 ].

Indeed, recent trials in colon and pancreatic cancer demonstrated no benefit and in one pancreatic trial, a possible trend toward harm with hedgehog inhibition [ 22 , 36 , 37 ].

We did observe a possible trend of decreased ADCD for individuals in both groups B and C and, for some individuals, increased ADNKA specific to 6535 ( Fig. 3c ).
