“a slight trend”

The reisolates passaged through the insect or plant showed a slight trend toward increased tomato colonization and enhanced antagonistic action on tomato-associated bacterium Bacillus pumilus as compared to the parental strain.

We hypothesise that a slight trend to a lower mean efficacy of soft MFCLs in our meta-analysis, when the two outliers are excluded, may be due to a lower wearer compliance with this intervention compared to the spectacle lenses [ 44 ].

We also observed a slight trend toward increased genomic instability in Polζ f/+ /CD21-cre heterozygous B cells compared with wild-type B cells (Table S2).

Overall, the inbred lines derived from the same hybrid showed a slight trend to be grouped in the same cluster.

Second, a slight trend toward using 16 values was considered, as observed in 4 of the 11 b -value sampling strategies shown in Table 2 , agreeing with the conclusion of ter Voert et al. 21 who recommended a minimum of 16 b -values in their application.

As shown in Table 2 , there is a slight trend toward decreased roughness at elevated temperatures, likely due to enhanced surface diffusion of precursor molecules during film growth.

There is a slight trend for higher values in the reservoir compared with the river for H. auroguttatus , whereas no difference in habitats were found for P. maculatus ( Tables 1 , 3 and 5 ).

A slight trend towards a larger improvement in OS from regional RT was observer for patients with no lymph node involvement compared to patients with lymph node involvement.

In contrast, the time to deterioration was similar between treatment groups in older patients (≥75 years) with a slight trend towards prolongation of HRQoL with venetoclax combination therapy; this finding is important as elderly patients tend to have worse clinical outcomes and HRQoL [ 7 , 43 ].

It cannot, however, be completely ruled out, since there is a slight trend toward Akt dephosphorylation when LNCaP cells were treated with HMI‐1a3.

Based on the primary endpoint midazolam metabolic ratio, we observe a slight trend towards a weak increase in CYP3A4 activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis after 3 weeks of anti-IL-6R therapy.

Although not significantly different, there was a slight trend of greater widths and necrotic surfaces caused by the isolate from F. excelsior recorded at SB 24-months post-inoculation ( Figure 5 ).

60 Gy), which may have resulted in a slight trend of fewer complications in this group of patients [ 82 ].

10 g reveals a slight trend for a gradual increase, which is expected since the higher the number of users in a square, the higher the probability of congestion and packet loss to occur.

Of interest, there was an improvement in ERBF with Tac-ER compared with baseline between 3 and 10 h postdose, and a slight trend to higher ERBF with Tac-IR compared with baseline for the same time period (Fig. 4 ).

neoformans strain used although there was a slight trend of reduced CD44 expression during infection with Zc1 and Zc15 ( Fig. 6B ), which largely mimicked the pattern seen in brain fungal burdens ( Fig. 1C ).

However, a slight trend toward improvement in some HRV indexes of the ALA group was noticed, but the rates of overall abnormal reactions or severe adverse events between the both groups were similar, indicating that the treatment with high-dose ALA is safe.

Overall, in the PC‐3 cell line for AuT NPs, there was a slight trend of increasing γ H2AX foci with gold association.

It was observed that for the deuteration of styrene derivatives there was a slight trend for greater deuterium incorporation at the α position relative to both β positions, contrasting with results often seen with precious metal alternatives. 14 b ,15 b ,17 2,3-Dihydrofuran 4g underwent deuteration at both alkene C(sp 2 )–H bonds while the 6-membered 2,3-dihydropyran 4h was selectively deuterated at the 3-position.

Regarding seasonality trends, loading of animals in summer and fall seemed to differ the most from each other, showing a slight trend to more cases of loading animals in the afternoon in fall and more cases of loading animals in the morning in summer.

As there was only a slight trend in parasitemia with high variation, we speculate that there is no enhanced systemic resistance to the malaria parasite overall.

From D3 to D7, the presence of collagen increased, and starting from D7, there was a slight trend of increasing collagenization until D21.

Evaluation of band intensity showed a slight trend to more RIP3 being phosphorylated at late culture timepoints if compared to day 1.

The patterns are very similar for overall relative glycosylation, sialyation, and high mannose species, with a slight trend of reduced fucosylation at the pH 7.3 condition (59.10% ± 2.34% versus 64.40% ± 3.75%).

From a recent compilation of safety profiles for different types of carrageenans in subclinical assays with different cells and in clinical studies [ 32 ], half maximum cytotoxicity concentrations were in the range 5–3000 μg/mL with a slight trend showing lower toxicity for the more sulfated carrageenans.
