Inguinal LND was performed predominantly in a radical or modified fashion, with a slight trend toward an increasing use of the sentinel technique.

As our study indicated a slight trend toward the benefits of the MBI for inattention symptoms compared to the relaxation program in the main analyses (the same trend was consistently found in the complementary analyses for the continuous outcomes), the role of mindfulness training in school contexts for attention regulation is worth further investigation.

Opioid consumption over 48 h showed no significant difference, but patients receiving PENG had a slight trend toward reduced use.

Figure 4 reveals that, basically, the supernatant resembles the signal intensity of CSF, whereas the sediment rather shows a slight trend toward a time-dependent change in the signal intensity.

A decrease in eosinophil levels over time was indicated with a slight trend of separation between placebo and exposure tertiles.

Only a slight trend toward elevated spontaneous aberrations in SPN donors was observed with two SPN-cases displaying exceptional chromosomal instability.

With respect to the forested areas, there is a slight trend change after the Great Recession in most countries except Canada.

During the study period, our NSQIP-P SSI rates remained “as expected” in all models but we did see a slight trend in increasing infections rates overall.

A slight trend was observed for an increase in the likelihood of an IOP spike with increased duration of hypotony.

In our results, SSRIs showed a slight trend toward increased odds for MC compared to histological controls; however, mathematical significance was lacking.

Remarkably, the control and discovery cohorts had a similar number of mutations at the time of diagnosis ( P =0.097), although a slight trend was observed, while patients who progressed showed a significantly higher number of mutations at the time of sAML than the control patients at the second sampling ( P =0.027) ( Figure 1A ).

We only found a slight trend noticeable after uptitration, which may depend on the high number of GDMT at the timepoint of discharge from hospital.

This is tentatively supported by results showing HIV‐positive patients with a slight trend towards poorer COVID‐19 outcome. 36 , 37 , 38 In addition, patients who received haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), which leads to profound T‐cell lymphopenia, 39 seem to have a worse outcome after SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, since preliminary data suggest 30% mortality acco

However, there was a slight trend for higher relative abundance of AOA and AOB three weeks after herbicide addition compared to the no-herbicide soil, except in the 10 × clopyralid treatment.

However, compared with those in exon 9, the frequency of exon 20 PIK3CA mutations seems to show a slight trend toward being more common in ESCC [ 55 ].

We even observed a slight trend towards a pro-apoptosis effect.

We see a slight trend toward decreases in rankings for methods that rank highly for scVI and increases in rankings for methods that rank lowly for scVI (Extended Data Fig. 8 ).

A similar incidence of MACCE of the PCI and CABG groups was shown both before and after 1-year point, although CABG showed a slight trend toward a lower incidence of MACCE compared with the PCI group ( Supplementary Figure 1 ).

In line, our data obtained from mouse sera also only showed a slight trend of higher endostatin levels in male mice compared to female ones, but older mice displayed a trend of higher endostatin levels than younger ones.

These changes were significant for PMBCs, while granulocytes only demonstrated a slight trend.

There was a slight trend towards more elderly patients in the SBRT group (median 75 years in both groups; 44% vs. 56% were > 70 years old in the surgery and SBRT groups, respectively).

This matching resulted in a slight trend toward less severe injury scores in the staged cohort.

balansae shows a slight trend of shrinking, and the adaptive distribution tends to migrate to more northern latitudes.

Our results showed that Iba1 protein expression increased significantly in the TGs of CFA-treated animals at day 5, while the mRNA expression of this target showed a slight trend of increase at day 14 ( Figure 6 A,C).

This group includes patients who were evaluated differently by EUA and MRI scan with respect to parametrial involvement (16.7%), vaginal involvement (21.1%) and a difference in tumor size exceeding 4 centimeters, with a slight trend toward a larger tumor delineation by MRI.
