“a slight trend”

Though the rate of thrombosis was low in both groups, there was a slight trend to more thrombosis in the BU group, which may not be unexpected given the complexity of the disease.

In female patients, there was a slight trend toward an increasing percentage of smokers with cancer, although this never exceeded 12% of the total population.

In 2011, there is a slight trend in clustering in the number of working hours over the categories of urbanisation and, in 1993 and 2011, for the availability of equipment.

Analyzing the results for the root and the flower stalk, we note slight differences with a slight trend indicating a higher value of radicals measured in autumn in both series.

In leaves, DHZ-type cytokinins showed a slight trend toward induction in the SlDLK2 OE leaves, and indoleacetic acid was the only hormone found to be significantly affected by SlDLK2 overexpression, showing increased levels in SlDLK2 OE leaves with respect to the control leaves ( Figure 4 ).

Still, there is a slight trend suggesting that the experience tends to be beneficial.

However, a slight trend towards significance was found in eGFR.

A slight trend towards an increased lifetime and 12-month prevalence was observed among men between 2009 and 2012; however, this trend in men was not statistically significant, nor was it observed in women (lifetime prevalence: 8.2%, 8.5%, 8.7% for men, 9.3%, 8.8%, 9.0% for women [ 10 ]; 12-month prevalence: 7.2%, 7.6%, 7.9% for men, 7.5%, 7.1%, 7.5% for women [ 10 , 16 , 17 ]).

This exacerbation of amyloid plaque pathology was region specific as the plaque size and abundance measured in the cerebral cortex did not show an increase upon loss of AP-4 complex, but in fact a slight trend toward decrease (Extended Data Fig. 1-3 ).

The results showed that across all patients, higher bilirubin levels independently increased the risk of death, with a slight trend of diminishing effect as age increased (HR decreased by 0.3% per year of age), although this did not reach statistical significance.

By contrast, no significant trend is observed for highly expressed genes using the microarray platform and only a slight trend is induced for genes with low expression.

Despite the non-significant changes in sphere, SE and UDVA during the follow-up in our series, there was a slight trend to myopization over time.

Despite a slight trend towards increased transduction efficiency in CB‐ compared to PB‐derived NK cells, on a per cell basis, PB‐derived anti‐CD19 CAR‐NK cells were more potent at killing CD19 + Nalm6 cells after 14 days of culture.

Pre-treatment with an LNA-based miR-29a-5p inhibitor prior to miR-29a-5p administration showed a slight trend towards preventing neuronal loss induced by miR-29a-5p alone in both APP/PS1 and WT mice, however, this effect was not statistically significant.

In the correlations, there was a slight trend towards higher values of the theoretical dilution compared to microscopy and also between NASBA and microscopy.

In the present study, we did not find any significant differences between MTPJ1 OA and controls for foot type using any clinical or footprint‐based measures, although the MTPJ1 OA feet showed a slight trend toward being more planus.

There was no significant difference between sVM and CSM regarding the conversion to sinus rhythm, although sVM showed a slight trend of being more favorable.

There is a slight trend of more oxygen atoms in samples with slightly less U (VI) as expected.

[ 40 ] found a slight trend of increasing and decreasing cherry fruit firmness after cold storage, respectively; however, the storage conditions and methodologies used in the preceding studies differed from those used here.

Despite few participants indicating that they worked less than 10 hours per week (n=3), there was a slight trend towards greater stress when fewer hours were worked per week (0–10 h – 36.3 ± 2.3; 10–20 h – 30.8 ± 4.1; 20–30 h – 27.3 ± 5.9; 30–40 h – 27.9 ± 4.4; 40–50 h – 28.0 ± 3.2 points).

Evaluation of mitral cell numbers yielded only a slight trend but did not reach significance to decreased mitral cell numbers in APPPS1 mice, implying a negative impact of Aβ pathology on the bulbar network.
