“a slight trend”

We also noted a slight trend toward higher accuracy in older children (≥ 2 years) compared to infants​, although LUS still performed well even in the under-2 age group.

We did observe a slight trend towards more IDs in patients who had 8 or more segments fused, which aligns with current literature on lumbar decompressions and/or fusion, where is shown that multilevel surgery represents a risk factor. 21 , 22 , 24 In line, patients experiencing an ID tended to have more PLIFs performed in addition to the TLIF during the same procedure ( Table 2 ).

One study reported no significant differences in embryo quality and pregnancy outcomes, with a slight trend toward higher clinical pregnancy rates in the antagonist protocol (24).

For focus offset variances, there was only a slight trend of JP-Unfamiliar having less variance in the visual comparison (see Figure 10 d).

While experienced clinicians showed a slight trend toward using fewer labels, this was not statistically significant.

Although visually, there was a slight trend for slower release at 100 rpm than at 50 or 75 rpm, an f2 test comparing the dissolution at 75 and 100 rpm resulted in an f2 value of 76 for fraction 2 with a particle size of 800 μm–2 mm and an f2 value of 56 for fraction 6 with particle size 125–250 μm, confirming similarity of the profiles.

The full-length VCAM1 shows a slight trend to accumulate in the glia cells without reaching statistical significance ( Fig 3A and C ).

While there is a slight trend for the correct folds to have a better RMSD and alignment (as combined in the Y-axis on Figure 4a to 4e ), the important aspect of the models is whether they have the correct fold or not.

There’s a slight trend towards higher odds with steeper slopes, but the confidence interval includes 1.0 for all categories, indicating minimal influence.

We generally observed a slight trend of lower diversity in young trees vs. old trees (this was easily observable at the sites RR, MCR, and CC).

However, the prone position showed a slight trend toward reducing energy achievement rates, although this difference was not statistically significant.

There was a slight trend toward increased water intake and urine volume in the EMPA group, without reaching statistical significance ( Figure 4D ).

Examining owner demographic variables ( Table 2 ) , there was a slight trend for older owners to be more likely to give supplements, with 1,011 of 1,894 (53%) owners older than 75 years of age giving supplements as compared to 359 of 750 (48%) owners 18 to 24 years old giving supplements.

5 , 6 Regardless of weight and BMI prior to the procedure, contrary to what was believed, the improved mobility obtained with arthroplasties did not lead to a reduction in the anthropometric measurements in patients with BMI between 20 and 30 kg/m 2 ; however, in patients who were obese prior to surgery, there was a slight trend toward a reduction in BMI.

When the proportion of patients achieving efficacy endpoints at Week 52 was stratified by change in MES from baseline to Week 8 of OCTAVE Induction 1 or 2, there was a slight trend for values to be numerically higher in patients who had a 2-point reduction in MES compared with those who had a 1-point reduction in MES.

However, although there was a slight trend of increased histamine levels in milk and plasma after LPS infusion, this did not reach statistical significance (Figure S1 in Supplementary Material).

Total IgG titers at 4 weeks post-immunization were also similar between the monomeric and trimeric groups, although a slight trend toward higher titers was observed with the trimeric construct ( Figure 2 C).

javanica in the tested conditions; although, a slight trend to decrease the egg masses was observed when plants were irrigated with either strain.

When focusing on highly selected subgroups, such as patients with disease confined to the abdomen, those younger than 70 years, or those who achieved complete cytoreduction, no statistically significant survival advantage emerged for PDS, although a slight trend toward improved outcomes was observed.

In this study, there was a slight trend to reduce the number of lateral branches with YOR, but this needs to be further investigated in lower plant densities.

This behavior was especially more characteristic at low O/S values, with a slight trend of antithixotropic behavior toward high values of O/S ratio in which the proportion of the oil phase was more expressive.

However, a slight trend is observed with greater positive bias associated with higher p K a values, and vice versa, more negative bias is associated with lower p K a values.

In contrast, the risk of pleural or pericardial metastasis, single metastasis, multiple metastases, and overall distant metastasis gradually decreased with age at younger ages, but there was a slight trend that they increased at older ages.

Notably, at a treatment concentration of 100 μg/mL, r-hBD3 demonstrated a slight trend toward decreased cell viability; however, this difference was not statistically significant when compared to L-hBD3 and D-hBD3.

Using the Ultra X device at 45 kHz, PUI demonstrated moderate and uniform efficacy across canal thirds, with a slight trend of decreasing complete removal toward the apex.
