However, there was a slight trend toward significant preoperative SVA differences when isolating cMIS patients from the HYBRID patients and comparing the cMIS subgroup against the OPEN group.

There was a slight trend towards a larger difference in the older age groups and at higher ISS and ASA scores.

Interestingly, there is also a slight trend toward increased alcohol consumption in groups with better sleep, suggesting a possible connection between better sleep quality and greater socialization.

Neither treatment modified triglyceride or HDL-c serum levels, although there was a slight trend towards increased HDL-c levels in response to GQ-16 treatment ( Table 1 ).

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

The inflexion point is the 8th case, from which the operation time started to diminish, although there was a slight trend of increasing operation time from the 28th case to the 46th case.

bocqueti , with a slight trend toward lighter pigmentation at higher temperatures in the latter two species ( Figures S19 – S21 ).

Differences in hazard ratios for CVD-related death were minor between those with and without diabetes, with a slight trend towards lower hazard among those with the disease in the high statin group, and the reverse in the no statin group.

Although a slight trend toward weight loss was observed in the modeling group, no clear difference in body weight was noted between groups at the end of the induction period based on the available sample size (n = 8 per group).

Most importantly, under the strongest degradation (DL3), that is, in a condition where the degradation efficiency test indicates that sentence-level mechanisms at work were mostly automatic, there was neither an N400 effect nor a LPC effect, not even a slight trend on the grand averages ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).

However, there was a slight trend towards greater bias on Own Memory trials when they came after Other Action trials compared to when they came before them ( Mdn = 0.6% and Mdn = 0.1% respectively, Z = 1.732, p = 0.083).

A slight trend for the 50% cut-point to decrease with increasing loading was evident, but the effect was generally small, even with the exceptionally high loadings.

Although ∆ argR + EV showed a slight trend towards reduced competitive fitness in the liver and spleen, this did not reach statistical significance and was not complemented by ∆ argR+ p argR .

[ 20 ] revealed comparable OC differentiation between RA and PsA with a slight trend towards higher differentiation in PsA.

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

The surface coverage of the hydrophobic particles on the hydrophobic collector was found to be low for all conditions, with a slight trend for a higher binding for low pH and high salt concentration.

Nevertheless, despite the similarities, a slight trend in SS-OCTA was observed whereby with increasing TS, an elevated TS was detected compared to SD-OCTA (3 × 3-mm 2 scans: mean difference of 0.03 ± 0.04 mm 2 , 6 × 6-mm 2 scans: 0.08 ± 0.19 mm 2 ).

A slight trend was observed in which synthetic images underestimated intensity values compared to clinical iodine-enhanced images.

A slight trend was present in only a few surrogates for either left or right AR wherein AR moment increased with increasing compression, indicating that axial (compressive or tensile) loading may not significantly influence AR ROM in these surrogates.

The Miglyol-NLC treated group showed a slight trend towards increase, but the effect did not reach significance.

Most techniques reached comparatively good identifiability scores, yet non-aggressive AROMA scored significantly lower while SOCK shows a slight trend of a higher score.

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.
