“a slight trend”

One can see a slight trend, whose significance is difficult to evaluate, that is consistent with a correlation between disparity and values of f 2 lower than expected in the distribution.

With the exception of a slight trend to more recently published references ranging from about 2 years prior to or even in the year of the publication of the citing paper in the publication year 2011, these results are rather stable over time.

Although the T cell numbers in Nsd2 CD4 KO mice did not show significant alteration compared with Nsd2 CD4 WT mice, there seemed to be a slight trend of reduction ( Fig.

Our main findings include: (i) FAZ metrics did not change significantly, (ii) parafoveal SVD at the superior quadrant was slightly reduced, but the rest of the perfusion density indices remained unchanged, (iii) changes in BCVA showed a slight trend toward improvement, but it was not associated with changes in vitamin D levels, and (iv) changes in none of the studied OCTA metrics were associated with increases in serum 25(OH)D3 level.

As the number of neurons is changed, there is no clear effect on accuracy, except possibly for the hybrid ESN, which appears to have a slight trend toward lower RMSE with more neurons; see Figure 12 .

[ 11 ] observed only a slight trend towardlower insulin levels during STF cycles, we detected a significant insulin reduction.

A slight trend toward higher daptomycin MIC values was observed for MRSA (52.8% at 0.25 mg/L and 43.8% at 0.5 mg/L) compared to oxacillin (methicillin)-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA; 70.7% at 0.25 mg/L and 24.9% at 0.5 mg/L).

The relative risk (RR) was calculated at −0.99, suggesting a slight trend toward reduced length of stay compared to those who did not use these tubes.

We also observed that pharmacological FXR activation did not significantly alter glucose absorption in wild-type mice, although a slight trend towards acceleration in glucose appearance rate was observed in the initial phase after bolus administration.

A feeding assay showed a slight trend towards higher feeding for the knockout flies (5 guts, n=3) (see Author response image 1 below).

Regarding SP incorporation, it led to a slight trend of reduction in both yield stress (from 13.3 Pa for NT-NW_0.50% to 13.2 Pa for NT-NW_SP_0.50% and from 13.5 Pa for 500-NW_0.50% to 12.6 Pa for 500-NW_SP_0.50%) and plastic viscosity (from 0.31 Pa.s for NT-NW_0.50% to 0.30 Pa.s for NT-NW_SP_0.50% and from 0.34 Pa.s for 500-NW_0.50% to 0.31 Pa.s for 500-NW_SP_0.50%).

However, we did observe a slight trend toward poorer prognosis in CIMP-H compared to the non-CIMP group ( Supplementary Fig. 7 ).

There was a slight trend toward more expenditures for hospital, nursing home, and physician care, and a related increase in the share of expenses borne by the Federal government.

Overall, there was a slight trend towards smaller LV size upper reference limits with increasing age.

There was only a slight trend upward in the number of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks completed before and after the study, suggesting that despite education, there was minimal incorporation of the procedure into clinical practice.

Although there was a slight trend for decreased alternans at slower PCLs (Fig. 5 H), this was not significant.

For PMV use, there was a slight trend toward more frequent use among RTs.

Interestingly, there was a slight trend toward BPD in the “slow wean” group; however, this was not statistically significant.

No increase in active Caspase-3 was observed in G55T2 XTCCs upon TMZ treatment, while in U87-MG XTCCs a slight trend towards elevated Caspase-3 levels in TMZ treated XTCCs was seen.

40 did a literature review on adaptive designs in clinical trials and highlighted a slight trend on the reception of adaptive designs by regulatory agencies in the USA and Europe of adaptive designs.

In fact, a slight trend of improved impact energy at more extrusion steps (up to three extrusions) was observed.

Plotting convergence (number of rod spherule contacts per cone) against the pedicle area shows a slight trend for the largest cone pedicles to contact more rods spherules ( Figure 5H , Figure 5—source data 1 ).

During the study period, we observed a slight trend of increasing technical or university education, but a stagnation between 2016 and 2020, similar to what was reported in another study in Peru in 2019 [ 31 ].

No clinical factor was significantly associated with an asymptomatic infection, but there was a slight trend in favor of smokers and PS 1 CPs.

Of note, a slight trend toward a decreased responsiveness of mitral cells in App NL-G-F mice could be detected when comparing F-I relationships with and without the presence of administered NA, which might be indicative for a homoeostatic downregulation of adrenergic receptors upon decreased NA release (Supplementary Fig. 4j ).
