“a slight trend”

A slight trend, although nonsignificant increases in IL-8 levels were observed following all exposures, especially in HFA-exposed samples.

In the cohorts of men and women with BMI < 25 kg/m 2 , a slight trend was observed, but association was not statistically significant (Table 4 ).

The comparison of the RFS between the group treated with ablation therapy during conversion therapy and the liver resection group showed a slight trend toward a longer RFS in the liver resection group, but the difference was not significant (ablation group, 274 days [157–NA]; hepatectomy group, NA days [447–NA]; p = 0.09; Figure S3b ).

Could a secular trend make the combining of the data invalid? There has been a slight trend towards an increase in birthweight of term infants in the United States and in Canada of 1 to 3 grams per year on average over the time frame that the data were collected [ 24 , 25 ].

Besides, results reveal a slight trend showing that the more variants a variable has, the lower the Atlas agreement scores.

GMC lifetimes range from 10–30 Myr and exhibit a slight trend of lifetimes increasing with galaxy mass.

In the group of RRMS patients that switched to fingolimod or alemtuzumab there was a slight trend that those with higher baseline CSF GAP-43 concentration more often achieved clinical disability improvement (CDI; EDSS improvement of ≥1 point for those with an EDSS of ≥ 2 points at baseline, excluding 5 patients as they did not have EDSS ≥ 2 at baseline), but not significant [CDI at follow-up ( n = 5): 1930 (1471–2999) pg/mL, no CDI at follow-up ( n = 25): 1717 (1354–2398) pg/mL, p = 0.58].

For the prediction of the BPC, differences in accuracy are less pronounced, although there might be a slight trend towards ‘overpredicting’ higher BPC values (≥ 8 μg/ml).

Although no significant differences were observed between patients with and without COPD in terms of arterial blood gas analysis, in our study a slight trend toward increased pCO 2 levels in COPD patients was detected.

We, therefore, applied VAM and DNT to FA‐treated LGMD2B myobundles and found a slight trend for increased OCR (Figure S10A–E , Supporting Information), which, however, was accompanied by a significant increase in glycolysis and decrease in OCR:ECAR ratio (Figure S10F , Supporting Information).

Subgroup analysis indicated that T1a patients did not benefit from RT, while T1b patients showed a slight trend toward improvement, but without statistical significance.

For depth (D), its influence remains more moderate, although the curves display a slight trend toward higher Ep values with increasing depth, which is consistent with the natural compaction of deeper soil layers.

A meta-analysis of 13 prospective studies, with 397,296 participants, showed that wine consumption was associated with a significant reduction of the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with a pooled relative risk of 0.85, whereas beer or spirits consumption led to a slight trend towards a decreasing risk for T2DM (relative risk 0.96 and 0.95, respectively) [ 70 ].

In all four scaffold types only a slight trend of reduced metabolic activity could be seen ( Figure 8 C).

There was also a slight trend toward decreased normal hand function, increased urethral sensitivity and a higher number of catheters used per day.

There was a slight trend such that, for fixed sample sizes, studies with a higher accrual rate had more participants with shorter treatment durations than expected.

Food intake showed a slight trend to be lower in Gpr12 KO mice when assessed simultaneously with energy expenditure ( Figure 2C ).

On average, it remained approximately at its artificial opening position, but the inlet showed a slight trend to migrate cross-shore towards the lagoon 18 .

Also, a slight trend of stronger disease progression related to MRI criteria was observed in the 4 mg/day group compared to patients treated with 0.3 mg/day diazoxide.

Quality of life scores On the MLWHF, there was no significant difference between the groups at any time point, although there was a slight trend towards the intervention group having slightly less deterioration over the six months in overall quality of life than the UC control group (mean difference +6.7 ± 16.2 vs +9.5 ± 10.8; p = 0.6).

resolution are roughly equivalent, although as expected from DQE limitations there is a slight trend toward higher resolution reconstructions at higher magnifications.

However, Gpr88 showed a slight trend toward downregulation, discordant with our results in RNA-seq, but did not achieve statistical significance (relative FC: 0.901, p = 0.31).

Two studies[ 16 19 ] reported lower mean fasting total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in S-DN patients, whereas several studies have failed to show any association.[ 17 25 26 ] Spelman et al ., in 2007 comparing 38 S-DN patients with 44 matched healthy controls found no differences in total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, or triglycerides.[ 17 ] Sengupta et al .,[ 25 ] in a study on first episode psychosis (FEP) patients also did not find any lipid derangements except a slight trend of lower HDL levels.

A comparison of the observed before and after differences with both the number of eraser movements and the amount of force exerted during EEM, shows a slight trend for greater before and after differences in association with both variables (Supplementary Figs.

In the east of the model domain, offshore Denmark, there is also a slight trend towards increasing offshore distances, exploiting the coastal gradient in wind speeds.
