This suggests that the initial volume, while potentially exhibiting a slight trend toward a greater negative slope (faster reduction) with larger starting volumes, is not a strong independent predictor of the rate of volume change. 3.4.
Arem and Patsch demonstrated that HDL-C, HDL3-C, and apolipoprotein A-1 were not significantly affected by levothyroxine therapy and there was only a slight trend of increase in HDL2-C besides a significant reduction in LDL-C during T 4 substitution in SH patients with a mean TSH level of 16.6 μIU/mL ( 31 ).
Our results indicate that the overall mean C0 component of keratometric astigmatism ranges around 0.20 dpt (95% confidence interval: -1.6 to 2.3 dpt) whereas the C45 component ranges around -0.02 dpt (95% confidence interval: -1.1 to 1.0 dpt) with a slight trend to positive values for OD and negative values for OS.
No statistically significant differences were observed between modalities, although a slight trend toward higher indoxyl sulfate removal was noted with HAHDx.
Higher irradiation doses resulted in increased levels of γH2AX, and there was a slight trend towards increased γH2AX levels after EGCG treatment of HCT116- IDH wt/R132H , but not HCT116, cells.
There is a slight trend for yellow circles to increase in proportion and for blue circles to decrease, and a much more prominent one for yellow triangles to increase at the expense of red, whilst for squares there is no consistent trend.
After the adoption of the system in this article, the success rate of off-peak trading of the subjects showed a slight trend of improvement, with an improved range of approximately 5%–12%; during the recommendation peak period, the success rate of transactions showed a significant upward trend, with an increase of more than 68%.
In conclusion, there is a significant difference in failure rates between OMIs placed in the maxilla versus the mandible, with a slight trend towards higher failure rates in the maxilla.
Beyond the lack of inhibitory efficacy of aspirin, we observed a slight trend toward increased platelet activation for aspirin-treated platelets exposed to snoring.
We found similar densities of OPCs and oligodendrocytes in both regions with a slight trend towards fewer OPCs in the cortex ( Fig. 2 J ), suggesting that SRF is not necessary for oligodendrocyte maturation or viability.
Although a slight trend towards more pS129 aSyn-positive cells in the SNpc of GBA1 D409V KI versus WT mice did appear at 180 DPI, this difference was minor and not statistically significant ( P= 0.0756).
Though there was a slight trend of increased circulating FFA in OXT-injected mice; it was not significant at the collection time points ( Figure S8M ).
The only finding associated with canakinumab treatment was a slight reduction in the number of fetuses at the high dose, which correlated with a slight trend toward decreased placental weight.
reported significant associations of dietary intakes of nitrates and nitrites with GC observed in case–control studies, while cohort studies still showed a slight trend [ 43 ].
Following co-incubation with or without iron, rapamycin was observed a slight trend of reduction but did not significantly affect the α-synuclein levels in the control groups (Figures 4 A,C,D, p > 0.05); however, the upregulation of the α-synuclein levels induced by iron was ameliorated by the rapamycin treatment (Figures 4 A,C,D, p < 0.05).
A slight trend between oestradiol levels and better sexual function was observed, with patients with oestradiol levels > 50 pg/ml reporting median result at all questionnaires within the normal ranges (as detailed in Fig. 3 ), yet without reaching statistical significance.
However, the presence of a few samples exhibiting a slight trend towards the rock weathering field suggests that the dissolution of minerals composing the aquifer matrix also contributes to the suite of dissolved ions present in the groundwater, although its influence appears to be secondary to the concentrating effect of evaporation 103 .
These results exhibit a significant degree of microbial community overlap between the two retting conditions for both bacterial and fungal populations, with a slight trend towards greater similarity in fungal communities. 3.3 Community Structure 3.3.1 Bacterial Community Structure The bacterial community composition at the phyla level for both stem and soil samples from the field and pilot unit retting was analysed to reveal patterns of microbial succession during retting and their possible functional implications (Figure 2 ).
From the plots, one can observe a slight trend toward lower losses with increasing slot width.
6 , 17 The combined estimates from the meta-analysis further reinforce these observations, showing a slight trend toward lower retention rates for air abrasion, though not reaching statistical significance.
2) There appears to be no significant difference in vascular function between Post-COVID and Non–Post-COVID groups: No statistically significant difference in FMD was found between groups (although a slight trend was observed); No difference in central systolic or diastolic blood pressure was observed (although the statistical power is limited). 3) There is an association between autoantibodies and vascular parameters within the Post-COVID group.
Further studies are needed to determine the optimal lead PPMO, as there was not a clear compound that was superior in these studies, although there was a slight trend toward improved in vitro and in vivo activity with 5′ peptide conjugates.
A slight trend of relatively longer tails in males is apparent in some species ( Fig. 5 ) but could not be statistically verified due to a low sample size in many species.
The data indicated a rise in depressive symptom scores in the late menopausal transition stage with a slight trend toward lower CESD scores in the early postmenopause compared with the late reproductive stage.
To shed light on other potential biases, we additionally examined temporal variations in the directions of reported associations and found, besides the general explosive growth of studies in this domain, a slight trend towards an increasing number of both detrimental directions and null effects over time (Supplementary Fig. 4 ).
