“a slight trend”

This suggests that there is no substantial bias against high GC organisms among our mock community members with decreasing input DNA, although there was a slight trend in this direction ( Fig.

2.3 Levels of cleavage/polyadenylation (C/P) complex proteins are upregulated at different times during monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation The analysis of the poly(A)-Click seq data described above shows that the APA occurring during monocyte-macrophage differentiation affected relevant functional categories of genes, and that similar numbers of genes showed shortening or lengthening in the 3’ UTR, with a slight trend towards shortening.

The Bland-Altman plots on the closeness agreement in moderate and vigorous physical activity showed a slight trend towards a closer agreement in higher objective physical activity as difference values get closer to zero (see Figure 3 ).

The result indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the consumption of any of these two types of beverages ( p > 0.05), although there is a slight trend for higher consumption among young adults, particularly in the case of soy beverages.

Meta-regression analysis demonstrated a slight trend at 6 months with increasing effect (as measured by VAS) with an increasing number of platelets.

A slight trend toward higher roughness was observed for the Ti surface; however, it was not significant compared to enamel and dentine ( Figure D).

Hyperactivity There were no group differences in total hyperactivity scores, with a slight trend towards non-orphans being more hyperactive than orphans.

Apparently, there was a slight trend toward increasing deviation in the surgery group.

In the current study we were not able to confirm an increased prevalence of SPINK1 positivity among carriers (though we did see a slight trend in this direction) and our rates of SPINK1 positivity among carriers were considerably lower (only 9%).

Surprisingly, no papers reported the use of standard or long-term reference materials. There was a slight trend for studies that reported the use of pooled QC samples to report the use of internal standards.

Treatment with EGb 761 did not substantially reverse LPS-induced IκBα degradation, thereby failing to prevent phosphorylation and subsequent nuclear translocation of the NF-κBp65 subunit, although there was a slight trend towards reduced IκBα degradation, this effect did not reach statistical significance.

The overall activity is comparable among the groups, with a slight trend of pCPC for an even higher activity, especially at week 2, while a slight decrease can be observed in the bone chips and the PMMA groups.

Three or more articles were found in the years 2013, 2015 and 2021, demonstrating a slight trend of increase in the number of works considered to present low or moderate risk of bias from 2013 onwards.

There was a slight trend towards an increase in the frequency of systemic AE with increasing peptide dose but this was statistically significant only for arthralgia ( p = 0.0455).

Within breeds, the distinction between generations is less discrete, although a slight trend is discernable.

In this study, there was no statistical difference in the disease-free survival between the Lap-PAN and no-surgery groups, however a slight trend of therapeutic effect was confirmed in the patients with PELN enlargement in spite of the pathological metastasis which was not detected, and the proportion of PELN enlargement was slightly higher in the Lap-PAN group (66.7%) than in the no-surgery group (47.3%).

Furthermore, analysis of the Barthel Index indicated a slight trend toward improvement in ADLs functionality for all participants post‐intervention (Figure 6 ). 4.

These results, i.e., convincing suppression of FXN-E but only a slight trend for FXN-M transcript, were confirmed in another complete experiment, also performed in triplicate (Fig.

WHC Despite a slight trend towards a decrease in WHC in the beef from cattle supplemented with arginine (2:1), the results of WHC in this study are in contrast to those obtained by Ma et al.

In this study we found a slight trend towards a reduction in pulse pressure when sitting which was not statistically significant.

Epidemiological approaches recently performed shed lights about the occurrence of CSF in the Cuba, suggesting that in this country, a slight trend to increase the incidence of the disease over the years as a results of the endemism conditions together with the lack of a successful implementation of a control policy has enabled the viral circulation [ 193 ].

Bland-Altman plots showed an even distribution of the values around the mean, with a slight trend toward a relation between the magnitude of energy intake and the differences in energy intake assessed by diet history and 7-day food diary.

The derived alleles based on sequence alignments and θ 2 showed substantial trends in GC-biased gene conversion; whereas the derived alleles based on θ 1 showed only a slight trend.

A slight trend of lower mortality appears with higher life expectancy.

The exceptions are that female employment rates were little affected over the Great Recession, and while there has been a slight trend of reduction in employment among prime‐age low‐ and semi‐skilled men, it has been much sharper among women in the years leading up to the COVID‐19 pandemic.
