“a slight trend”

RFA also gives a good result, but with a slight trend to exaggerate the estimation.

The scores revealed no clear differences between the two groups save perhaps for a slight trend towards a reduced performance in the KO mice at lower rotation speeds, but this did not reach significance.

While not significant, our fish did exhibit a slight trend towards increased SDA peak and decreased SDA dur of the metabolic response with increasing temperature.

No significant difference was observed in OS (HR: 0.78 [0.55, 1.12], P = 0.18), although a slight trend favoring PIC therapy was noted.

Although not significant, a slight trend towards lower WE amount upon plastidial WE biosynthesis compared to cytosolic WE formation was observed (Fig. 3 ).

OPG had a slight trend downward in three of four participants.

A slight trend toward better endurance and relaxation was observed in the SPG, though not statistically significant ( p = 0.46; p = 0.85).

We found a slight trend of increasing risk of BCC among the users of glucocorticoids with longer duration of use, with IRRs increasing to 1.17 (95% CI: 1.08–1.28) among recorded users of more than 1 year, and to 1.22 (95% CI: 1.09–1.36) among recorded users of more than 5 years before the diagnosis date ( Table 2 ).

In ARC, in line with the modest Ghsr deletion, expression of orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP), as well as cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), showed only a slight trend of decrease (not statistically significant), whereas anorexic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) was unchanged in Syn1 - Cre ; Ghsr f/f mice ( Fig. 4 C ).

Concerning the vertical dimension, on average, a slight trend toward a dolichofacial skull configuration was found (Δ ML-NSL: 5.07 ± 9.23, Δ ML-NL: 4.24 ± 8.04°).

Kaplan–Meier survival curves showed a slight trend towards higher survival in the mAFP 5+ group compared to the mAFP CP group; however, no statistically significant difference in survival between both groups was observed at day 30 ( P = 0.370) ( Figure 6 ).

Evaluation of Group 4 - parallel roots (n = 34) In the evaluation of Group 4 (parallel roots) at different angles, there was a slight trend towards increase in the values from T 1 to T 4 , although this increase was not statistically significant.

Only 6-AN did not significantly reduce the accumulation of vRNA within one IAV replication cycle but merely showed a slight trend towards it (Fig. 4H ).

We detected a slight trend for bioturbation and nutrient release increase in the communities under warming, yet these responses were not consistent with the heatwaves exposure duration.

anthracis hfq genes had no statistically significant effects on sRNA stability, although there was a slight trend toward extension of sRNA half-life in some mutants.

Interestingly, lactate accumulated in the medium of the proliferating groups with a slight trend towards higher amounts of lactate in the medium of Dex-exposed cells.

Nonetheless, there is a slight trend that could favour virtual reality.

If anything, there seemed to be a slight trend towards higher numbers of dislodging enterocytes in Nlrc4 −/− Caspase-11 −/− mice.

Although there was a slight trend suggesting that patients with higher TBSA were also more likely to have higher FRAIL scores (Fig. 3 ), the multivariate analysis showed no significant correlation between TBSA and frailty.

However, there appears to be a slight trend toward higher expression of PER markers in the central regions of the human retina (fovea and macula) compared to the peripheral areas.

In this figure, different PM2.5 groups are slightly different but not obvious, the average value of TCV under the environment of ≤70μg/ m 3 , 70~90μg/ m 3 and >90μg/ m 3 is -0.025, -0.127 and 0.160 respectively, with a slight trend of rising.

10 We found that although children exhibit a slight trend toward more abundant butyrate, there was no significant difference in butyrate content in the stool of children compared with adults in this study, Figure 2 .

Indeed, after correcting for pure CAG (Q 1 ), there was a slight trend for additional copies of the CAACAG cassette to be associated with greater somatic expansion ratios.

However, there were decreased DNA fiber track lengths in Smarcal1 Δ/Δ MPPs, indicating DNA fork stalling, but this did not lead to more DNA breaks (Figure 2h ), and there was only a slight trend toward reduced MPPs in mice lacking Smarcal1 (Figure 2i ; Figure S2C ; summarized in Table S1 ).

A slight trend of greater recovery of transmembrane proteins was apparent in these data ( Figure S4 ).
