“a slight trend”

20 In our study, we noticed that patients younger than 40 year had a slight trend to have thicker iris, but that was not statistically significant.

50 This is further supported by our PFS analysis, which shows no significant benefit of first‐line nilotinib, although there is a slight trend towards an advantage of initial nilotinib treatment (imatinib‐matched 88.0% vs. nilotinib 92.9%, respectively).

We found that there was no effect on the collagen expression, while there was a slight trend of reduction in vimentin.

20 Animals that underwent BSD had significantly larger viable surface areas compared with Control ( P = 0.01) while ISD showed a slight trend toward increased viable surface area but did not reach significance ( P = 0.3).

While there was a slight trend toward nonsignificant recovery in the follow-up measures in the variables of cynicism and emotional exhaustion, this contrasted with the trend toward improvement seen in the professional efficacy measures.

The maximum yield of primary PSII photochemistry (φ Po, equivalent to F V /F M ) was high in both organs, with a slight trend for lower values in pericarps.

In recent years, the combination regimen of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) has demonstrated equivalent efficacy as well as lower toxicity, and has become largely the regimen of choice, despite a slight trend toward greater efficacy with MVAC therapy [ 4 ].

With regard to the IL-17A-producing cells, at 1 week, the effect of antibiotics was minimal, with a slight trend towards reduced numbers of Il17a -GFP + γδT cells and ILC3s in skin of mice treated with antibiotics ( Figures 6 A and 6B).

Three out of seven microRNAs ( miR-7b , miR-22 and miR-199b ) display a slight trend to increase in ileum collected from APC Min/+ mice, while the others ( let-7e , miR-29b , miR-378 and miR-486 ) are significatively downregulated in cancerous lesions, thus indicating a closer association of these microRNAs to differentiation process rather than proliferation one ( Fig 4 ).

With higher tumor stages, there was a slight trend for higher Cav-1α expression, while Cav-1β expression was heterogeneous throughout the different tumor stages.

However, a slight trend can be observed, with patients receiving platinum/taxane-based treatments showing slightly lower recurrence rates compared to those treated with anthracycline-based regimens.
