“a slight trend”

Despite a slight trend for elevated IFNA1 and IFNB1 mRNA expression at 16 h, levels failed to reach significant upregulation at 4, 16, and 24 h, when compared to mock‐exposed cultures (Fig 2B ).

On the other hand, the majority of the studies found that physical activity levels were stable for the whole group overtime ( Bell and Lee, 2005 , Brown et al., 2009 , Hull et al., 2010 ), with only two studies pointing a slight trend for decreasing overtime for the whole sample ( Miller et al., 2019 , The and Gordon-Larsen, 2009 ) and one study showing a decrease only among men ( Burke, 2004 ).

However, the mean differences between objective and subjective measures were <2Δ for all speed and vergence conditions, with a slight trend towards greater differences at higher speeds.

The results showed that the male larvae consistently developed significantly faster than the female larvae in all instars, except for a slight trend in quick growth during the L3 stage (Fig. 5B ).

Although BLM exposure induced a modest decrease in cell viability relative to the untreated control, co-treatment with compounds 9 and 10 did not further reduce viability and even showed a slight trend toward recovery.

There is a slight trend that higher clearance, and therefore shorter elimination half-lives, can lead to shorter dosing intervals, e.g., QW dosing, but in general the data did not reveal a clear correlation, possibly due to the large scatter.

However, the hardness increment value by filler addition has a slight trend, which is caused by dispersion of the WL within the structure and not just on the surface of the developed biocomposites.

Still, the study showed a slight trend in favor of IMRT with the 7-year freedom from ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence value found to be 95% for IMRT and 90% for conventional radiotherapy.

In our review, the data showed a slight trend towards better efficacy with the intravenous route as compared to other routes, despite the lack of supportive evidence from clinical trials.

Similarly, a slight trend is observed for the average age of menopause and hormone replacement therapy regimen, while in our sample parity and breastfed are not aligned with most of the results in the literature [ 29 – 32 ].

However, a slight trend can be observed.

The difference in recovery from the 0.5 wt% and 1.0 wt% concentrations was not substantial but there was a slight trend observed showing an increase in concentration yielded approximately an extra 2% recovery.

These values are stable and seem independent from the cell number and Foscan concentration, although we observe a slight trend of decreasing rates of plate-adhered PS with increasing cell numbers per well.

3d , neither after 24 h (when miR-132 was strongly induced), or after 2 h (when MAP kinases were shown to be increased) 13 , a change in miR-132 expression was observed (although a slight trend towards decreased levels may be visible 2 h after p38 inhibition).

Regarding the duration and amplitude of AB episodes, no significant differences were identified between tasks or groups, except for a slight trend toward greater amplitude during Genius in controls.

Thus, the sex-related distribution of CKD was heterogeneous but not significantly skewed toward any single group, showing only a slight trend toward higher prevalence among males.

There were no significant differences in DP race speed between rounds for each section, although in the SPF there was a slight trend toward a lower DP speed observed in the Finish straight.

Compared with their WT counterparts, Mlkl -/- mice showed a slight trend towards decreased survival, but no differences between them were noted ( Figure 1i ).

The mean number of cigarettes/day (cig/d) before pregnancy remained constant, around 16 cig/d, whereas a slight trend to increase over time was seen, from 7.7 to 8.9 cig/d.

Blautia shows a slight trend to higher abundances at higher cultivation pH values, but this trend is not significant.

A slight trend was observed in that patients with diabetes were more likely to be enrolled into Medicare Part D and were more satisfied with their Medicare Part D enrollment decision than patients without diabetes.

In the forward site, there was a slight trend that more tags were observed 3′ to the site, and a sharp peak existed at position 32 (0 is the first C of CAGCAG).

The K14-VEGF-C mice exhibited a significantly increased fraction of newly deposited (young) collagen (light blue) compared to WT mice, and a slight trend towards a lower fraction of highly crosslinked (mature) collagen (purple) was observed in the K14-VEGF-C mice at 14 dpw ( Figure 4 C,G).

There was a slight trend toward lower evenness in the standard-fed rats: Group C had the lowest Simpson’s diversity (mean 0.928 vs. 0.966 in Group B and 0.976 in Group A), corresponding to one taxon ( Akkermansia spp.) dominating a larger share of the community.

4 B left), we found that WM capacity for coloured squares did not seem to significantly benefit from longer encoding time ( F (1,11) = 3.72, p = .08, η p 2 = 0.25), despite a slight trend consistent with Experiment 1 and previous literature.
