“a slight trend”

A slight trend toward lower binding in the MES buffer could be seen in some experiments, likely attributable to a small pH‐induced conformational change in the actin filaments themselves (Oda et al , 2001 ).

1A ) revealed a clear differentiation between controls and cases with a slight trend towards recovery gradually over time for a sub-group of individuals.

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).

Analysis of animals injected with control AAV over the 3 months of high-fat diet, exhibited a slight trend toward increased body weight for Notch1 ECKO animals at time of harvest (Supplementary Fig. 8b ).

Table 3 shows that each cluster has a different number of isomers depending on the reagent ion, and there are no signs showing that clusters charged with some certain reagent ion would have an especially high or low number of isomers. Most of the clusters have two or three isomers, and a slight trend for increasing number of isomers with higher oxygen numbers.

For the histograms of the most frequent nucleotide at each position there is a slight trend of values being closer to 1 for the HH region than for the NHH region (see Additional file 1 ).

There is a slight trend for the model to underpredict the decline for subjects ≥7 years old at baseline, but the predicted mean data are maintained within the SD of the observed data ( Table 3 ).

Previous characterization of FIV proviral load in PBMC of co-infected and single infected cats showed a slight trend toward greater levels of provirus in FIV single infected cats with a significant difference between the groups at one of eight timepoints studied [ 26 ].

However, even in these cells, the Sdc-1-OV clones showed a slight trend towards the induction of faster aggregation.

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

In our study, using seven mice, we detected a slight trend toward more rightward rotations in control animals that, however, was statistically not significant.

No significant upregulation of these isoforms was found in response to VPA or ASO+VPA treatment compared to PBS-treated mdx mice, despite a slight trend for Dp140 in the cortex.

From these data, we infer that the genes undergoing 5hmC modification contribute very little to the overall genomic iM-density, and for the genes, the density curve shows a slight trend for 5hmC modification at locations distant from the TSS.

Income While not statistically significant, income showed a slight trend toward increased risk, particularly in the High-Risk group (aOR = 1.0, 95% CI: 0.98–1.07).

The lower part of Figure 8 shows hardness values typically in the range from 230 HV to 250 HV, with a slight trend of increasing hardness toward the surface and toward the right-hand (field) side of the wheel.

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.

A slight trend towards reduced levels of bone turnover markers after the winter season compared to the time point after the summer season is, however, noted.

[ 22 ] noted a slight trend favoring medical therapy in older patients, suggesting that the benefits of closure may diminish with age or in patients with complex comorbidities.

Although we detect a slight trend of increased endocytosis in the BxPC3.MUC1 versus BxPC3.Neo cells, the difference is not statistically significant.

Despite a slight trend towards greater visual improvement with increasing CRT reduction, this did not reach statistical significance in any group.In total, 20 eyes (27%) received a second FAc injection after a mean of 36.5 months (range 8.0–75.0).

In a study of 300 patients, there was no significant survival benefit in patients who underwent revascularization compared with those who did not, although there was a slight trend towards better survival in those with obstructive CAD (subset of 34 patients).

A slight trend suggesting some advantage of mobile spacers over other types was seen, but only concerning range of motion ( Figure 3 ).

A slight trend towards improved performance in the retest condition was observed, with a mean difference (Retest - Test) of -0.28 dB (95% CI [-0.60, 0.05]), the SD of paired differences was 0.69 dB, yielding limits of agreement of -1.63 to 1.07 dB, corresponding to a small effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.40).

The matrix metalloproteinase ( Mmp ) gene family was also selected for its role in ECM remodeling; however, among these, only Mmp14 shows a slight trend towards increased expression in HSCs, while the expression of Mmp2 and Timp2 tends to decrease.

However, the PRP and HA groups showed a slight trend toward stabilization of joint degeneration, whereas the CS and NSAID groups showed a greater tendency toward disease progression.
