“a slight trend”

During the study, weight changes were minimal, with a slight trend toward weight gain, except in cow 6878, which was in an advanced clinical stage of Johne’s disease (JD) ( S8 Fig ).

There was a slight trend for patients in the CaEDTA arm to have rising creatinine levels, which decreased after changing them to the MgNaEDTA arm.

We observed decreased CD4/CD8 T cell ratios in the peripheral blood of Sh2b3 E372K/+ , Sh2b3 E372K/E372K ( Figure S 4A, B ) and spleens of Sh2b3 R530Q/R530Q mice ( Figure S 4C ), but not in the peripheral blood of Sh2b3 R530Q mice ( Figure S 4B ) and only a slight trend in the spleens of Sh2b3 E372K/E372K mice ( Figure S 4C ).

However, the comparison of the MAF distribution of the 3′-UTR SNPs to the MAF distribution of other extended GWAS-SNPs revealed a slight trend of 3′-UTR SNPs towards moderate MAF frequencies between 0.1 and 0.4.

Although not discernible in Figure 2 A,B, there was a slight trend in upregulation of telomerase activity in the HTA (10 −6 gm/mL) treated cultures for some donors during a second stimulation, but only in two out of six donors did this reach statistical significance.

Even though there was a slight trend in defaulting to a “violence” communication strategy in the last 2 years (2023–2024) as compared to the first 2 years (2016–2017) of data collection, this difference was not statistically significant.

The fact that we did not find differences between salivary and plasma IgA1 O -glycosylation, except for a slight trend of lower sialylation in saliva, is likely due to their inherently different biosynthetic pathways as compared to N -glycans, involving distinct glycosyltransferases ( 61 ).

Employment status was not strongly associated with either outcome, although a slight trend toward lower smoking odds was observed among unpaid or informally employed individuals [ 26 , 30 ].

However, a slight trend was noted for both M. circinelloides strains (MC and MCVI) under high C/N, where biomass samples grown at the highest H 2 O 2 concentrations were positioned towards lower PC1 and PC3 values, reflecting a reduction in lipid and polyphosphate accumulation.

37 Here, we observed that in control mice, there was a slight trend toward a decrease in blood glucose levels following 12 hours of fasting that reversed to trend toward an increase with acute stress (Figure 5B and 5C ).

Otherwise, we observed a slight trend toward higher median duration of CRRT using ADVOS lasting 96 h in comparison to the median duration of continuous hemodialysis treatment among patients in the CytoSorb group lasting only 72 h, that might partly explain a better removal of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen under ADVOS than under CytoSorb with CVVHDF.

Although the difference in the total surgical time between the two groups was not statistically significant, we observed a slight trend toward a shorter surgical time in the 3D surgical video system group, suggesting that the system may have certain advantages in terms of operational efficiency.

Nevertheless, we did observe a slight trend of higher sTREM-1 levels between the comorbidity subgroups of the three matched groups: (1) in immunological alterations, higher sTREM-1 concentrations in the Acute-CoV group; (2) in neurological diseases and patients without comorbidities, sTREM-1 concentrations were slightly higher in the Post-CoV group.

Although the overall DFS patterns between the Early-RT and Late-RT groups were not statistically significant, there was a slight trend favoring earlier RT initiation.

Although there was a slight trend, there was no significant correlation between these two parameters in human subjects exposed acutely to high altitude environment ( Figure 6A ).

In comparison to 2019, only minor changes in the proportions of subdiagnoses could be observed, with a slight trend towards G35.0 and G35.1 cases (+ 3% and + 2% of all G35.- admissions, respectively) and fewer G35.3 admissions (-5% of all admissions, data not shown).

Indeed, GRAS1 showed a constant down-regulation, although displaying a slight trend to increase its expression from 2 to 10DAI in tolerant cultivars (a situation observed in the first experiment for “Frantoio” plants as well).

By three-dimensional photograph analysis, only a slight trend toward a decrease in mean (SD) facial volume of − 0.69 (6.44) from Week 0 to Week 12 was observed.

We did not find that smokers without COPD had significantly increased pulmonary arterial remodeling apart from a slight trend in medium sized pulmonary arteries.

Although we observed a slight trend of positive correlation, as found in the Bahrami et al.

However, there is a slight trend of correlation decreasing as the number of walks increasing.

The distribution of ratings, which was heavily skewed towards the low end of the scale in the human‐judged ratings, was considerably wider in GPT‐driven ratings, exhibiting a slight trend towards bimodality.

Concurrently, we note that there is a slight trend towards more home dispositions among the COVID cohort, however this was not statistically significant.

The predictions using BayesB and BayesC indicate a slight trend of increasing accuracy, reflecting the fact that the frequency of the chromosome 4 QTL appears to be increasing slightly over these successive generations [ 8 ].

There is a slight trend for a higher accumulation of nanoparticles for the magnetic implants, which were implanted on the left side.
