There are no clear and obvious statistically significant differences between consecutive years, and although there appears to be a slight trend of increasing proportion as the years go on, this is not a solid conclusion as there are at least 3 years (2011, 2014 and 2016) where the proportion decreases from the previous year.

reached the highest OD 600 growing on fatty acids, surfactants, and peptides, but there was no significant difference between FE and RE strains’ changes in absorbance (WRS, W = 1.55e6, P value = 0.08), though there is a slight trend of RE strains having overall higher changes in absorbance.

For PCI intervention, the male/female split showed a slight trend towards more females in the top 5% costs for emergency interventions, but no trend in total cost groups.

PPIB showed a slight trend for increased values on edge rows and HPRT demonstrated an offsetting slight decrease in these rows resulting in minimal differences in the geometric mean.

In the southern and northern regions, we found a slight trend of increased seroprevalence from the younger to the older age cohorts; in the central-eastern region, this trend was absent.

Using this regimen, PTOX (AUC 24h > 700) was <20% for most individuals, despite a slight trend in increasing exposure with increasing body weight.

Between 2004 and 2019, there was no substantial inequality in smoking prevalence by remoteness, a relatively stable inequality by education, but a slight trend for increasing absolute and relative inequalities by area-level disadvantage (for the middle disadvantage subgroup, a prevalence difference of 4.3 percentage points [95% CI: 1.3–7.4] in 2004 to 8.0 percentage points [95% CI: 5.5–10.5] in 2019, and a prevalence ratio of 1.2 [95% CI: 1.0–1.4] in 2004 to 1.9 [95% CI: 1.4–2.3] in 2019; for the most disadvantaged subgroup, a prevalence difference of 7.5 percentage points [95% CI: 3.9–11.2] in 2004 to 16.8 percentage points [95% CI: 12.7–20.8] in 2019, and a prevalence ratio of 1.4 [95% CI: 1.2–1.7] in 2004 to 2.8 [95% CI: 2.1–3.5] in 2019).

Among possible explanations for a proportionally stronger decline in SS , there is no obvious candidate in the data presented by Thörne and Carlsson ( 2004 ), although a slight trend toward increased eutrophication and temporary acidification combined with some changes in the Fegen fish community may have affected Baltic ciscoes negatively.

The treatment was also metabolically neutral with minor changes (or a slight trend to improvement) in the circulating plasma levels of glucose, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides.

There is a slight trend in PTB7:Y5:PCBM plots; as suggested we have added arrows.

Although there is a slight trend suggesting the therapeutic effectiveness of taVNS compared to sham‐taVNS, statistical analysis reveals no significant difference (Table 2 ).

‘Content Rating’ predominantly exhibits negligible associations yet shows a slight trend with ‘Rating’ at 0.04.

For 12 g L −1 of SEG wines, from both varieties, a slight trend can be observed: wines treated with LOTR presented a minor decrease (Table 1 ), which could suggest higher oxidation of anthocyanins when higher levels of MOX were used.

There was a slight trend toward increased IFN-γ levels between the class II HER2-DC1 alone group and the combination of class II HER2-DC1 and anti-PD-1 antibody treated group in response to re-stimulation with peptides.

In fact, at the 48 h and 72 h time points, there appeared to be a slight trend towards higher virus titers under paliperidone treatment, but this was caused by single outliers and was not statistically significant.

In our experimental setup there were no significant differences regarding vessel diameter, plaque diameter and grade of stenoses between the different heart rates (50, 70, 90) although we found a slight trend to larger deviations of the measured parameters comparing the 50 and the 90 bpm data (Table 2 ).
