“a slight trend”

Contamination did not significantly impact kernel weight, though a slight trend toward lower weights in contaminated kernels was noted.

In fact, the results indicate a slight trend towards the promotion of survival, suggesting beneficial effects in C. elegans, however without significance.

Interestingly, while the rate of living ova‐specific CD8 + T cells was not affected by Rab27a deletion in the primary tumour (Figure 5G ), we noted a slight trend towards reduced apoptosis of these cells, whereas CD8 + T cells specific for the endogenous tumour antigens Pmel and Dct (Tyrp2), which are both present in B16F10‐derived EVs (Table S1 ), showed a significant apoptosis reduction in LNs draining Rab27a ko tumours (Figure 5H‐5I ).

In the latter case, a slight trend toward this effect was observed, but it was not significant (p=0.21) and may be the result of a single male researcher being responsible for handling and setting up the mice for all experiments.

A slight trend toward increased DMT1 level was observed in STH dh Q111 / Q111 cells compared with the wild-type cells [ 18 ].

Pretreatment with cyclophosphamide had no discernible influence on the time it took to virologic rebound, but a slight trend was observed in improved engraftment in those exposed to cyclophosphamide.

Electrolyte concentrations were quite stable, and we observed a slight trend towards decreasing BE without clinical significance.

In two metrics, there is a slight trend: Members of the communication subgroup reported higher confidence levels, the less time they took to stop the surgical bleeding (y = −0,7498× + 4,639), and members of the bleeding subgroup reported higher confidence levels, the less time they took to stop the diffuse bleeding (y = −0,671× + 4,8944).

Considering the number of spawned eggs, it is important to also note a slight trend towards a lower proportion of spawning female gonads with high DEHP concentration, which could also have affected the egg number.

For Child‐Pugh C patients there is a slight trend of underestimating the effect of cirrhosis on c max . t half is described well for all Child‐Pugh classes, with only omeprazole values being slightly overpredicted.

However, the majority of participants in both groups rated the product as “quite satiating”, “very satiating”, or “extremely satiating”, with a slight trend toward higher values in the Taste group.

Furthermore, in comparison to the reference structure, the control group's structure showed only a slight trend towards that structure over time, with ARI increasing from pre-test (ARI = 0.00), to post-test (ARI = 0.08), and to retention-test (ARI = 0.17).

IPDA analysis of reservoir size before and after the period of TLR7/8 agonist administration indicated a slight trend toward a decrease in the frequency of intact viral genomes ( Fig. 6 A and B ).

In patients with mild NPDR, there was a slight trend towards visual improvement, though it did not reach statistical significance.

A slight trend towards significantly higher serum levels of IL-13 in overweight patients compared to those with normal weight was found.

A slight trend toward mild, drug-induced decreases in orthostatic BP and moderate increases in orthostatic heart rate were observed, but there was no clear dose-dependency.

As the average age in the overall cohort was 57.9 years (median, 58 years), we observed only a slight trend towards increased prevalences for most loci (Supplementary Fig. 41 ).

A slight trend for higher stress concentrations in KA configurations is visible.

Although this study showed a slight trend towards higher implantation rate (67.4% vs . 73.3%) for embryos cultured at 37 degrees, the incidence of aneuploidies was similar in both groups.

Merely a slight trend towards faster and more accurate responses for the affected limb for the plantar view, but not the dorsal view, can be observed.

MRSE was within 0.5 D of target refraction in 95.21% but showed a slight trend toward overcorrection.

Additionally, the number of adherent cells remained approximately constant within the considered timeframe, even though a slight trend appears to be present for the 3D setting.

However, even with this assay, the repair kinetics of G 1 -phase and G 0 -phase cells are similar, with only a slight trend for slower repair kinetics in G 0 -phase cells ( Figure S2c ).

Nevertheless, the evaluation showed a slight trend towards better scores in the group of surgically curative treated patients, and 52% of the latter group experienced an improvement in aspects of the HRQoL after surgery.

Time-to-first subsequent exacerbation did not differ significantly according to the timing of treatment initiation, though a slight trend towards longer median time-to-first moderate exacerbation could be observed among prompt vs. delayed initiators (Fig. 4 ).
