“a slight trend”

Some studies also indicate a slight trend that older teachers more frequently select training programs related to digitalization ( Annemann et al., 2025 ; Rotermund et al., 2017 ).

During 2019–2022, the IFR values ( Table 2 ) were high and rather similar, although a slight trend to increase was observed.

The cfPWV changes during intervention did not differ significantly between groups, but there was a slight trend towards a higher cfPWV with vitamin K supplementation at the 2-year follow-up. cfPWV results remained unaltered after adjustment for mean arterial pressure obtained just prior to PWV measurements {mean difference in cfPWV at Year 2 after adjustment: 1.1 m/s [95% confidence interval (CI) −0.1 to 2.2, P = 0.07]} (Table 3) .

Although not statistically significant, a slight trend toward lower survival rates was observed in patients who received prophylactic pelvic irradiation compared to those who did not.

Although statistically significant results were observed only with HDR, a slight trend of positive association of radiation dose and inflammatory cells was noted for the 100 mGy dose as well.

At the end of treatment, participants reported on their fear of falling, with results showing a slight trend toward increased fear of falling in the balance training group compared to controls.

This could also explain the absence of difference in ALT activity, a classic marker of liver damage, despite KO males displaying a slight trend towards an increase.

Ignoring for the moment the outliers, there appears to be a slight trend toward larger corrections as n rot increases.

Therefore, we ran a 2-way repeated-measures ANOVA with factors “stimulation frequency” and “TMS condition” on the EMG signal, which showed no significant main effects of condition or frequency nor interactions between these two factors ( F (1,8) = 4.42; p = 0.07; η 2 = 0.35), although revealing a slight trend in the same direction as for sensorimotor beta-power ( Fig. 2 D–F).

The remaining treatments compare to the control, and a slight trend of height decrease with increasing pressure is present.

At 10 cm depth, although differences among scenarios were less pronounced, a slight trend toward improved water retention was observed.

Generally, projections from the global climate models showed a slight trend for drier conditions by 2100 ( Table 1 , Fig. 4 ).

A slight trend toward narrower, but not shorter, PC granules compared to PSU was observed ( Figure 1 C).

We also found that disease type ( de novo or secondary) showed a slight trend in relation to CR rates, although the relationship was not significant.

In contrast, the partial correlations between nose poke and lever press–nose poke performance ( r = 0.29, p = 0.09828; with initial magazine checking partialed out) and initial magazine checking and lever press–nose poke performance ( r = 0.31, p = 0.07664; with reward collection partialed out) showed a slight trend toward correlation but were insignificant.

The correlation between turning and nearest neighbor position in groups selected for cohesion was not significantly stronger than in non-selected groups, though a slight trend was observed. 69 These findings, along with our results in A. mexicanus , support the idea that the modulation of turning and speed is essential to evolved differences in collective behavior across fish species.

On the other hand, Pielou's evenness values indicated that the environmental (A4N5 = 0.8279, A5 = 0.8357) and the TMA treatment (A4N5 = 0.8328, A5 = 0.8142) samples showed a slight trend towards lower evenness (Table S1 ), suggesting that a few taxa become dominant under these conditions.

Specifically, there was no significant difference in the change in mean CoQ10 levels between randomization groups ( P = 0.13), though there appears to have been a slight trend toward decreases in the statin group.

Concerning the mouse kidneys, DHT treatment increased the intensity of the AR staining, while Enza or WBM displayed a slight trend in attenuating DHT-induced AR expression.

These data do not directly explain the functional changes although there seems to be a slight trend of increased capillary density in both the border zone and infarcted area of both cell groups; however, a significant increase in the number of vessels was only found in the infarcted area of the BMMNC-primed group as seen in Fig. 4 .

Publication Bias: The funnel plot showed a slight trend of asymmetry (Figure S18), suggesting potential small-study effects, but the overall extent was limited.

Profiles with lower SRTs (higher profile numbers) show a slight trend for higher importance of ACALOS features for differentiating the profiles from all the remaining profiles.

A slight trend towards cementless procedures has been observed in recent years.

A slight trend was observed indication that the more advanced the glaucomatous damage was, the more pronounced the alterations in corneal parameters.

The rest of organs showed remarkably similar weights in spite of a slight trend of cafeteria diet-fed rats to increase their size in, in accordance with their higher body size.
