“a slight trend”

Herein, the comparison of the RFA shows a slight trend towards an elevated fibrotic content in both pathologies, in comparison to the healthy Ctrl tissue ( Figure 2A ).

While both groups inhibited tumour growth, PD‐L1 −/− EVs showed a slight trend towards more pronounced inhibition, but with no statistical difference in relation to WT EVs.

In contrast, infected cells yielded a high level of IL-12 production across all three time points, with a slight trend towards maximum production at 48 h ( Figure 1 ).

We found a slight trend between positive MMP-28 immunostaining and better prognosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

0.31 ± 0.05 μg/ml), although a slight trend toward increased levels of IgE was noted.

The distribution of CI ( Figure 3 B4 ) spanned both negative and positive values, with a slight trend of being centred around zero.

No meaningful differences were seen between age groups in terms of humoral (except a slight trend for stronger responses in the 18–49 YOA RT and HM patients compared to their corresponding ≥ 50 YOA group) and gE-specific CD4 T-cell responses in any of the IC populations.

Concerning the sense of loneliness, we found a slight trend for women to feel more lonely than men and a tendency for this to increase for elderly people, a result that echoes reports in the general population concerning psychological well-being during the COVID-19 outbreak ( 14 , 15 ).

Blood CD4 and CD8 central memory cells (Tcm) did not differ statistically across groups; albeit a slight trend of increased CD8 Tcm cells was observed in rats with active rejection (Fig. 4i, j ).

The remaining alleles were not significant, but the HLA staining patterns for HLA-A*01, HLA-A*02, and HLA-DRB1*03 showed a slight trend consistent with the hypothesis. 3.

Result: The Osseotite Certain group showed a slight trend toward greater resistance, but there was no diversity among the two implant holder groups ( P 0.05).

Even in cases where the two indices inferred the same structure, we observed a slight trend towards more negative values for the −NRI index (Figure 3c,d ).

16 , 31 However, we observed a slight trend of higher success rates among patients receiving clomipramine than among those receiving the placebo. 4 of 14 studies reported satisfaction data, which revealed a significantly higher satisfaction rate for clomipramine than for the placebo (SMD: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.09–0.70, P < .05; Table 2 ). 32 , 34 , 35 , 37 However, high heterogeneity ( I 2 = 73%) was observed for this outcome.

treating microdiscectomy patients with autologous IVD derived-cells, was similarly able to report alleviation in pain (a 42% reduction), which resulted only in a slight trend of enhanced pain outcomes compared to a discectomy-only cohort.

There was a slight trend that people with hemophilia using the app were more satisfied than caregivers/parents of people with hemophilia who used the app (Figure S2 ).

The polymers were consistently obtained in high yields (80 to 90%), and the dispersity values were found around 1.7 with a slight trend toward higher values at higher monomer-to-catalyst ratios.

Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis were maintained in a normal range throughout while axial rotation demonstrated a slight trend toward improvement.

Twenty-first hours after HI we noticed a slight trend in decreased expression of this protein, but SB administration did not affect it.

In general, it is possible to detect a slight trend, for the overall recruitment events, to delay with longer average shortest path lengths.

Furthermore, we noticed a slight trend towards improvement in LV-GLS and LVEF of 3.7% and 1.39%, respectively, though this was not statistically significant.

There was a slight trend for an increase in FVC after NIV-supported ACT, especially in the morning session, and although this did not reach statistical significance it may make NIV support a viable consideration in patients with loss of lung volume.

In contrast, priming with Msmeg pHA afforded no protection against footpad swelling and the use of Msmeg MU-Ag85A only showed a slight trend toward delay in footpad swelling ( S2 Fig ).

3C ), but a slight trend in TET2 -engineered cells (Supplementary Fig. 5 ).

There was a slight trend of increase in the proportion of men as BMI value increases.

However, when we adjust these results according to comorbidities, there are no significant differences, leaving only a slight trend toward greater severity.
