“a possible trend”

This study suggests a possible trend to referral bias in cohorts of ALS patients drawn solely from referral or hospital databases.

The performance values of each method, in Kappa and ACC, were calculated under each imbalance ratio, and the average performance values of each method were connected to reveal a possible trend over increasing imbalanced ratios (Fig. 5 ).

When observing the health outcomes within month one, a possible trend can be seen, namely that users with a “good start” tend to have “good results.” The interviews resulted in care track, individual, and context factors of nonadherence.

However, this difference is not statistically significant and therefore represents only a possible trend rather than a confirmed effect. 3.3.

Third, cumulative meta-analyses were conducted to identify a possible trend of the pooled results with new studies added.

Mostly the studies were conducted on small-sized populations and results did not reach statistical significance, some suggesting a possible trend.

A mixed effects model must be employed to better appreciate the differences between the groups, taking into account possible individual-specific confounders and a possible trend/growth effect.

But it is clear, that the limits we have described so far, clearly depict a possible trend which we use as guideline for our proposals.

Even though this difference is not significant, it suggests a possible trend.

There is still very little data and no evidence supporting an association between PALB2 mutations and prostate cancer risk [ 13 , 36 – 39 ] although several pedigrees have been presented and a possible trend toward aggressive disease in carriers has been noted [ 39 ]. iCOGS measured PALB2 (c.1592delT, p.Leu531Cysfs and c.3113G > A, p.Trp1038*) in 22,301 prostate cancer cases and 22,320 controls and found no evidence for association with prostate cancer risk OR 2.06, 95 % CI 0.59–7.11, p = 0.24 and OR 0.49, 95 % CI, 0.18–1.36, p = 0.16 respectively.

Furthermore, while recurrence patterns exhibited no significant differences, distant metastasis was observed only in the high FOXP3+/CD4+ cell ratio group, suggesting a possible trend toward higher metastatic risk in the high group.

Given the small sample size of 15 years in trend analysis, small P values reported should be treated as indicative of a possible trend.

Results from our small pilot showed a possible trend towards improved appointment-keeping with primary care providers in those who received coaching.

Although there was a possible trend towards decreased IgG1, there was no reduction in the concentrations of either IgG2b or IgG2c (the homolog of IgG2a found in C57BL/6 mice) in the groups treated with EP67 compared to the non-treated control animals.

A possible trend emerging from the studies reviewed here ( Supplementary Tables S1–S4 ) is that where pan-azole resistant ARAf is found in soils sampled from (growing) crop settings, the widespread TR 34 /L98H and TR 46 /Y121F/T289A mutations tend to be detected, perhaps as the result of deposition from the air spora, whereas greater genetic variation (and higher CFU numbers) are found in waste piles, compost, and soil into which compost has been incorporated. 3.6.

For stable patients, there was no evidence of a survival benefit from NIV (relative risk [RR] 0.88 [0.55, 1.43], I 2 =60.4%, n=7 RCTs), but there was a possible trend toward fewer hospitalizations (weighted mean difference −0.46 [−1.02, 0.09], I 2 =59.2%, n=5 RCTs) and improved health-related quality of life.

A possible trend toward a slight increase in organoid size was observed when either exogenous alanine or pyruvate is added to cancer cell organoid monocultures, although this difference was not significant (fig.

When compared to wait list control group at the second follow-up a possible trend towards significance could be observed in the trataka group.

There is a possible trend to increased strength of binding in the order B3V H /B3(R27aS)V L <B3V H /B3V L < B3V H /B33V L , as seen in the anti-dsDNA assay, but the curves are not far enough apart to let us be certain of this trend.

As a result, the present observations should be interpreted as indicating a possible trend rather than definitive evidence of sex-specific toxicity.

We explored our data, divided into 5-year intervals, to identify a possible trend in the proportion of rifampicin-resistant agents over time ( Figure 1 ).

These findings raise the hypothesis of a possible trend wherein patients undergoing multiple hip arthroplasty revisions tend to be younger.

Both measures were higher in the PC group than in the HC group, indicating a possible trend toward healthier dietary habits in PASC patients.

However, observing the societal implications involved in use-of-force errors—particularly evident in recent years—it is prudent to identify a possible trend for future empirical exploration.

40 Core stability and L4-L5 multifidi size Results also showed a possible trend of increasing UHBE scores in participants with decreased L4-L5 multifidi CSA.
