“a slight trend”

Despite a slight trend for Gingin males to be more successful than Manjimup males in siring offspring (proportion of offspring sired: Gingin, median = 0, IQR = 0–0.135; Manjimup, median = 0, IQR = 0–0.125), there was no significant difference between the paternity success of males from the two populations (Wilcoxon signed-ranks test for matched pairs, V = 12, P = 0.80).

The MDD patients’ dietary intake of whole grains was below the NR, with a slight trend below the CTRL values.

Remarkably, neither thoracic nor cervical thymi CD34 + populations diminished during this period (Figure 4d ), albeit both organs showed a slight trend toward reduction, which likely becomes significant in animals aged >20 years.

The average islet size of Ucn3-Cre;Robo1 Δ/Δ , 2 flx/flx shows a slight trend towards larger islet than those of controls, but this trend does not reach statistical significance (18157 μm 2 and 21968 μm 2 , respectively, P = 0.1653, n = 10–20 islets each for four independent mice in each genotype) (Fig. 3F ).

δ 18 O reveals a slight trend toward more negative values with increasing EC, possibly indicating evaporative enrichment in some groundwater samples.

Overall, reactivity towards the two different V1V2 subunit proteins was comparable, with a slight trend towards higher reactivity of sera from animals immunized with highly stabilized clade C trimer ConCv5 KIKO trimer (group 5) but also BG505 SOSIP.664 (group 6), which, however, did not reach statistical significance.

In patients under 60 years of age, a slight trend in favor of survival was observed in the PPLND group compared to the PLND group, although this difference was not statistically significant.

In the sample studied, we did not observe that there was a statistically significant relationship between the age and sex of the participants and their pain levels during the study’s follow-up period, although we observed a slight trend in which women described higher levels of pain compared with men.

Only high-density lipoprotein-associated cholesterol (cHDL) showed a slight trend towards better values in the control subjects, but as mentioned, the differences did not reach statistical significance.

On the contrary, as shown in Figure 9 c, the sample (A-20) can only exhibit a slight trend of nonlinear conductive behavior, and it is not able to transform as conductor under extremely high applied voltage (3000 V).

RNA quality assessed by the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) showed a slight trend of decrease associated to time with tumor samples exhibiting higher and less variable RIN values at T0 compared to the normal samples.

Overall, there was a slight trend to less linear mobilization of starch.

There was a slight trend toward more late apoptosis with PFD treatment, but this did not reach statistical significance (p=0.283, p>0.05; Figure 6B ).

Though not statistically significant, there was a slight trend toward cases being HER2-positive.

A slight trend towards an increase in the TGF‐β1 concentration was observed in the group receiving an anti‐Gr1 antibody.

Upon prestimulation of the cremaster muscle with LPS, however, cessation of blood flow was significantly accelerated and a slight trend towards an even faster onset of platelet adhesion was noted, although not reaching statistical significance (Fig. 1B–D ).

Computer-assisted quantification of mitochondrial branching (formfactor = F ) and mitochondrial filamentation (aspect ratio = AR ) of mitochondrial regions revealed a slight trend towards a more filamentous network in atad-3(RNAi) animals (for technical details see [26] ).

We did not find a significant difference in cortical demyelination between sections with high and low (Ig + ) B cells, although we did observe a slight trend towards higher cortical demyelination in sections with a high number of all B cells, IgG + B cells and IgM + B cells (Fig. 4 b).

In our study, the third neoplasm with the highest mortality was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, with a slight trend towards a decrease, with an APC of −0.33%.

There was a slight trend of slowing of the HR compared with his previous 24-h Holter monitoring (average HR, 84 bpm).

Together, lower microsaccade rate and a slight trend toward increased blink duration represent a pattern of reduced preparedness to detect and process visual information, which evidences a state of visual disengagement.
