“a slight trend”

31 - 37 Results Data were available for a total of 3103 US counties ( Table 1 ), and a slight trend toward increasing rurality was observed, with the number of rural counties increasing from 1913 in 2010 to 1944 in 2017.

As the storage time increases, R CT of the AP-DNA (1) films showed a slight trend of fluctuating downward.

While there seemed to be a slight trend towards improved conditional survival over time, no specific minimal survival time of prognostic value for long‐term survival could be defined (Fig. 3 , suppl.

Nevertheless, a slight trend toward higher extraction efficiency in juice samples was observed.

However, this appears not to be the case, with predictions of changes in protein stability showing very little ability to discriminate between pathogenic and putatively benign mutations, with the exception of a slight trend observed for TUBβ2B.

Overall, transmission frequency does not decline with increased rainfall, and there is a slight trend of increased transmission frequency during the wet season for Huon birds.

In our present study, even though we did not see significant changes in the levels of PAX6 and TGF-β1 mRNA expression in any of the duloxetine-treated groups, there was still a slight trend in PAX6 upregulation and TGF-β1 downregulation after duloxetine treatment in all groups.

In contrast, gymnosperms were mainly threatened by a potential increase in Ψ tlp values in both simulations, particularly where the one simulating a lower plasticity displayed a slight trend consistent with the orography of the study area (Figure S10 ). 4.

The study demonstrated a slight trend to increased predicted final adult height (+0.6 S.D.) in the testolactone/flutamide group, however, the difference was not statistically different.

42 Within this context, the configuration of the public and private hospital system barely experienced changes from 1986, except a slight trend towards a percentage reduction in the number of private hospitals and an increase in their size in terms of beds ( Table 1 ).

Size distribution was similar in all subpopulations with a slight trend towards less oversized and a higher number of small tubers in MP t .

The GMR of 0.96 is close to 1, indicating near proportionality with a slight trend toward sub‐proportionality.

The major findings are as follows: (a) comparison with different VMI reconstructions showed a statistically significant difference only at the extreme levels of the spectrum in a per-vessel analysis, with a slight trend of lower CT-FFR values at higher keV levels.

Consistent with some previous studies, we found a slight trend toward upregulation of genes following treatment with 5-Azacytidine, with 17 of the 23 differentially expressed genes across showing higher expression levels in the treatment group.

Although there was a slight trend to higher mononuclear CM level in C57BL/6NJ mice, this difference was not statistically significant (panel B of S6 Fig ).

We observed that high expression of ASNS correlated with better prognosis in NSCLC patients, as evidenced by a slight trend of longer OS in the TCGA dataset for LUSC although it did not reach statistical significance, as well as longer DFS in the TCGA dataset for NSCLC and LUAD ( Supplemental Figure 11 A-F ).

There was a slight trend for correlations for the second session (i.e., attempts 4–6) to be slightly numerically stronger than the first session (attempts 1–3), possibly hinting that participants with more gaming experience improved more than those with less experience.

We noted a slight trend in reduction of neurons in single UBQLN1 Tg mice in both the dentate gyrus and CA1 regions compared to Non-Tg mice, but the difference was not significant.

Moreover, under MF treatment, there was a slight trend towards an increase in the expression of genes for the humoral immune response and a more pronounced trend towards an increase in the expression of genes encoding subunits of the MHC complex ( Figure 2 ).

External syntenic regions are rare, with only 0 to 4 such translocations per syntenic region in all genome pairs, and show only a slight trend for a higher number in longer regions.

Conclusion A slight trend towards a temporary increase in incidence rates, especially among women, was observed.

Nevertheless, we do observe that for ORFs longer than 550 amino acids, there is a slight trend toward the larger genomes containing more of these longer genes than the smaller genomes.

The average RMSD of the full complex wild-type PrnA is 3.5 Å and in the apoenzyme PrnA is 3.6 Å, indicating a slight trend of increased flexibility of the apoenzyme form possibly due to the absence of bound ligands.

However, there was a slight trend indicating that larvae exposed to 40 mg kg −1 or higher concentrations of chlorothalonil consumed slightly less food compared with those exposed to lower concentrations ( figure 6 ). 4.

C OMPARATIVE S AFETY A NALYSIS OF A LL C ARDIOVASCULAR O UTCOME T RIALS All six CVOTs conducted with incretin-based therapy almost ruled out any real increase in pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer as was perceived earlier; however, there was a slight trend of increase in pancreatitis in DPP-4Is arm compared to the placebo.
