“a slight trend”

Although there is a slight trend toward higher rates of microcephaly among females and lower-functioning individuals, these associations did not reach statistical significance [ 92 ].

When the four individual staining intensities were analyzed separately, we found a slight trend toward 3+ GD2-positive tumors, associated with poorer DFS and OS, particularly in the luminal A subtype.

The number of TUNEL-labeled cells in Cdc42 CKO optic cup showed no significant difference with a slight trend toward being increased ( Figure 4A ; Supplementary Figures S3A,B ).

Samples with a copper concentration above 6 wt.% (theoretical) show a slight trend of declining S BET values as the amount of copper present in the preparation of a sample is raised—that observation is similar to the other research reported in the literature [ 72 ].

Compared to year 0, mean scores in year 5 showed a slight trend to be lower for some of the dimensions.

However, LV mass was not significantly different between WT and MAVS -/- mice, with only a slight trend toward an increase.

A slight trend toward increased asymmetry was observed.

In recent years, the combination regimen of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) has demonstrated equivalent efficacy as well as lower toxicity, and has become largely the regimen of choice, despite a slight trend toward greater efficacy with MVAC therapy [ 4 ].

Under chronic low Cu exposure (0.003 mg L −1 ), the HK activity in the intestine did not change much and there was a slight trend of increase in the CC2 group (0.005 mg L −1 ) ( Figure 3 ).

There was a slight trend of decreases in bet size after a series of wins, but this was not significant.

3 A–F) in this cohort of rhesus macaques with drusen, although there was a slight trend toward thicker choroid among eyes with more drusen.

Across the AP extent of our ROI, there was a slight trend ( Table 3 ) for more cells at anterior levels, but no discernible further trend with posterior progression (over six sections; i.e., a 6.0 mm extent).

Despite these efforts, we still noticed a slight trend toward higher spiking frequencies at the end of 10 min experiments, and so we limited the scope of our analysis to 1 min following the conclusion of real-time stretch at 18% strain, while utilizing the same analysis window for control and injury groups.

However, there was a slight trend indicating increased diversification in the PMC94-treated group.

When analyzing the weight variation, a slight trend toward a greater weight gain was seen in the DS experimental groups in comparison to the corresponding DR groups, without reaching significance.

Thus, this wine is located in a defined area of hues between 90° and 100°, which corresponds to medium yellow colors with a slight trend to green.

When subtracting oxy‐Hb and deoxy‐Hb time courses during escalating breathing maneuvers without MNS from corresponding time courses with MNS, the functional hyperoxygenation response is diminished to a slight trend (BH) or vanishes altogether (V15 and V35).

At days 21 and 28 after induction, we observed that the tumor growth compressed the contralateral brain tissue, and the bilateral behavior changes were more evident than a slight trend of unilateral spatial changes of gait assessment owing to bilateral hemisphere involvement.

Most patient models for rivaroxaban were one-compartment models due to the sparsely sampled PK data, which might cause a slight trend toward an underestimation of C max ( Willmann et al., 2018 ).

Interestingly, we found that CBD did not alter the levels of IL-10 ( Figure 2 ); instead, we observed a slight trend in IL-10 levels after the treatment with CBD in a dose-dependent manner.

Despite the fact that many of the culturable banana endophytes showed antagonism against Foc STR4 and TR4, the final selection (based on a combination of geographical, molecular, and phenotypic criteria) to be tested in planta only showed a slight trend in the reduction of FWB severity for strain P. chlororaphis IAS-B-364.

SA heroines had a significantly lower mean than expected, and a slight trend towards lower standard deviation than expected ( Table 1 ).

Graft survival was greater for the GERD-ARS than noGERD patients (log-rank, p = 0.039), and a slight trend toward higher survival was also observed as compared to GERD-noARS patients, but without significant difference (log-rank, p = 0.216).

Although a slight trend toward higher alpha diversity was observed at baseline in both NT and ST groups, this difference was not statistically significant and likely reflects natural interindividual variability rather than a consistent difference over time.

There was a slight trend of improvement in nutritional status.
