“a slight trend”

The Postoperative Healing Evaluation No significant change in body weight was seen in all groups within 4 weeks, but there was a slight trend toward weight loss in plaster cast group ( p = 0.2) (Figure 3 ).

15 In our study, we were unable to observe the same statistical differences and only recorded a slight trend demonstrating reduced VAS pain scores at 6 ( p = 0.201) and 12 h ( p = 0.366) post‐operatively.

However, prevalence of outgrowth connectors did not change significantly over time, although there was a slight trend toward decline with age in polyQ128 (Wald test, P =0.21).

There was a slight trend, though not statistically different, in the decline of skeletal muscle mass index in elderly (10.9 kg/m 2 in pre-frail vs 12.1 kg/m 2 in active elderly, p = 0.21), highlighting, at least in these populations, that differences in muscle performance were not strictly linked to muscle mass, but were driven through other changes in the muscle biology.

In contrast, among patients carrying the HBG2- polymorphism rs7482144, there was a slight trend towards a higher total hemoglobin in those who suffered from severe disease (10.8±1.6 g/dL vs . 10.0±1.1 g/dL, P =0.21).

There was a slight trend for total salivary IgG to be increased in FIV-infected cats compared to naive individuals (treatment p = 0.216), however, total IgA antibody levels did not differ in saliva from FIV-infected and sham-inoculated cats (treatment p = 0.999) ( Fig 5 ).

We analyzed if the different levels of IgG to toxin B between treated and untreated CD patients could be attributed to a single type of DMAID, but no statistical significance due to any of the DMAID types (listed in Table 2 ) was found (as all but five DMAID‐treated patients had azathioprine and only three had mesalazine, it was statistically meaningful only to note a slight trend ( P = 0.22) for higher IgG to toxin B in patients with TNF inhibitors compared with DMAID except TNF inhibition).

Subgroup test showed that there was a slight trend of interaction between STI and molecular subtype for Ki67 change ( P = 0.220).

There was no statistical difference between the two treatments, but the bi-layer membrane showed a slight trend towards a lower score than the PCL membrane ( p = 0.220). 2.3.

BRCA status from tumour exome analysis exhibited a slight trend toward an effect in patients treated with the combination ( p = 0.22), indicating a role in the prognosis.

Though there was a slight trend for the left FFA to be more active during the learned task [ t (8) = 1.92, p = 0.22], neither the right nor left FFA showed significant differences in activation between the two tasks (Figure 6 ).

However, when applying this threshold, no significant association was found between high MAP4 expression and late recurrence in the NTUH cohort, although a slight trend toward increased risk was observed (HR = 1.57, 95% CI = 0.76–3.27, p = 0.221) ( Figure 3D ).

We did observe a slight trend in the NGI-1 treated cells toward reduced total PrP puncta area (~0.8% vs ~ 2% in control conditions), however this trend fell short of significance (p ~ 0.225).

By contrast, there was a slight trend for CMS to be positively related to the anxious-resistant pattern in both the three- and four-way classifications (Wald χ 2 = 1.45 and 2.39, p = .23 and p = .12, respectively), suggesting that these mothers tended to have higher levels of CMS, whereas mothers with anxious-avoidant infants tended to have lower levels of CMS, relative to mothers with infants categorized as secure.

Age was not shown to be negatively associated with adherence to the system; in fact, a slight trend towards positive correlation was observed at 1-month post-enrolment ( r = 0.3312, P = 0.23).

higher irregularity prior to S2, higher probability of decisions for S2 as being higher in pitch), only a slight trend was found (13 negative slopes as compared to 4 negative slopes when sorting for pre-S1 entropy, p = 0.23).

A slight trend towards desensitization was also observed in aneurysmal AngII‐treated mice (EC 50 : −6.5 ± 0.2 log[M], p = 0.23).

There was, however, a slight trend toward lower NDI scores in the nonoperative group ( p = 0.23, t test).

The MTHFR C677T polymorphisms did not show a statistically significant influence on survival times in all patients (p = 0.412) nor in any analyzed subgroup (in neoadjuvantly treated patients p = 0.745, in primarily resected patients p = 0.295), although there was a slight trend for shorter survival of patients with the CC genotype (54.1 months median in patients with CC genotype versus 82.7 months in patients with CT and TT genotype, p = 0.237), Table 4 a.

The results associated to the three interaction terms were not significant although a slight trend was observed in the interaction between positive affect and depression [ HR = 1.32; 95% CI = (0.82, 2.10), p = 0.25].

Moreover, there was a slight trend of less pro-inflammatory IL-12 ( p = 0.251) and anti-inflammatory IL-4 ( p = 0.317).

Although a slight trend can be observed for total scattering intensity, with an ANOVA p-value = 0.26, it is not statistically significant (all other parameters range from p = 0.5 to p = 0.9).

A slight trend was noted in diagnostic delay (14.5 vs. 9 months, p = 0.26) and treatment (18.5 vs. 9.5 months, p = 0.14) in female patients compared to male but without reaching statistical significance.

Chronic dronedarone treatment resulted in a slight trend towards increased I KIR2.1 densities for the inward (43.8 ± 5.5%, P = 0.26 at −120 mV) and a non‐significant increase in outward (32.0 ± 7.8%, P = 0.83 at −60 mV) current components. 24‐hrs treatment with amiodarone resulted in a significant increase in the inward current component at −120, −110 and −100 mV of 73.3 ± 10.3%, 78.0 ± 10.9% and 84.4 ± 11.5%, respectively, whereas a non‐significant increased outward current (75.9 ± 24.9%, P = 0.38 at −60 mV) was observed.

Only perfusate IL-6 showed a slight trend (not statistically significant) towards a higher concentration when CA was not used ( p = 0.26).
