“a slight trend”

As a group, there was a slight trend of lower expression with increasing tumor grade.

Although there was a slight trend toward increased cyclin D1 levels in APP tg animals, the differences were not significant, and no differences were detected in CDK2 levels between the groups (Supplementary Figures 3A, G, and H).

However, a slight trend towards a dose-dependent upregulation was observed in at least one of the three experimental repetitions for SOD-1, GCLcat, GPx, and GST, with mRNA expression levels being increased between 1.1- and 1.5-fold at 100 μg/ml TiO 2 NP (red circles, Fig. 6 ).

Survival analysis showed a slight trend of correlation by directional change in the variable CpGs with mortality in males.

Due to a slight trend for NT −/− mice to spend less time in the central area, the elevated plus maze was additionally used to verify whether these mice were more anxious.

Interestingly, from 8-10 to 14-16 weeks, there was a slight trend toward increased frequencies of NK cells in the mild patients, which was consistent with our previous findings ( Figure 1F ).

No significant differences were observed in weight and blood glucose changes; however, a slight trend was observed toward improvement in the ARB group, suggesting the need to consider the systemic effects of ARBs.

Between the ‘previous’ and the ‘start’ observation time points, no difference between the functional and the control bread groups were observed, both groups showing a slight trend (albeit insignificant) towards worsening of HbA 1 c.

The movement of the acceptor end of tRNA had a slight trend towards an increase of difference in the observed reaction rates with decreasing temperature ( Figure 4 b, Table 1 ).

Overall results indicated a slight trend towards increased IL-6 concentrations overall, however, no time points were statistically significant ( p = 0.729, 0.603, 0.611 and 0.396 for 0, 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively), resulting in acceptance of the null hypothesis.

At the final follow-up, both groups demonstrated a slight trend toward improvement compared with preoperative values, with no significant differences between them.

A slight trend to reduced numbers was seen in Teff ( figure 2A ) and Treg ( figure 2B upper panel) cells after 12 months of treatment, whereas the percentage of Teff and Treg cells did not change ( figure 2C and figure 2B , lower panel).

The boxplots in Figure 4 show a slight trend toward better discrimination between women with PE and high risk using sFlt-1 alone than the sFlt-1:PlGF ratio or PlGF, but CIs of single biomarkers and the ratio overlap widely.

No relevant differences were found between age groups either, although a slight trend toward lower adherence was observed among individuals under 65 years of age, possibly associated with a lower perception of risk or reduced commitment to therapy.

Although the sample size is small, this study observed a slight trend toward the rigid fixation of both sites, consistent with findings by Singleton et al.

For compound B, >97% of prediction errors were distributed between 1.25 and 2.0 across the dose range, and fell into category 1 (prediction error, 0.8–1.25) or 2 (prediction error, 0.5–2.0), with a slight trend of overprediction.

Similarly, no statistical differences in polyfunctional CD4+ T cell responses following stimulation with M.tb lysate were observed in any of the groups in Figure 1D , although there was a slight trend to higher responses in mice immunized with ID93 + GLA adjuvant formulated in liposomes, mostly due to TNFα responses.

A slight trend towards greater bone size and body mass in captive-reared specimens compared to wild boars can be observed.

Taking results from each of the 5 years into account, the GH data suggest that there may be a slight health disadvantage for living in a coastal city, while the unhealthy days information indicates a slight trend toward fewer physically and mentally unhealthy days in the coastal MMSAs.

However, neither TOFA nor DMSO displayed significant effects on pACC protein expression in lung of asthma model of mice, albeit there was a slight trend of increase in pACC expression in TOFA-treated asthma model of mice (Fig. 2 b).

Looking at the gene expression, we found a slight trend towards RORC gene expression, which is associated with classical (less pathogenic) T H 17 cells [ 35 ].

2) There was a slight trend to more relevant (11.0% → 13.2%) and less small (37.6% → 34.2%) ischaemia, whereas the quantitative extent of ischaemia overall did not decrease over time (unchanged SDS). 3) Median CACS and the proportion of patients with a CACS of 0 remained unchanged. 4) Overall, all ESC PTP models from the 2013, 2019, and 2024 guidelines underestimated the prevalence of abnormal MPI findings and small ischaemia.

Weighted UniFrac analysis showed that 13.1 % of the variance was explained by the environmental grade (R 2 = 0.131, p = 0.060), indicating no statistically significant difference but a slight trend in compositional variation by grade ( Fig. 3 d).

10 Although not statistically significant, we observed a slight trend towards higher response rates in solar urticaria (89%), delayed pressure urticaria (79%), heat urticaria (75%), cholinergic urticaria (74%) and cold urticaria (71%) compared to the other subtypes.

Scores on the Jenkins Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (8.5 ± 3.8) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (5.7 ± 2.9) indicate a slight trend to poor sleep quality [ 34 ].
