“a small trend”

A small trend (albeit non-significant) towards an improved oral glucose tolerance in transgenic mice versus controls was outlined.

There continues to be a small trend towards an increasing number of pediatric heart transplants reported to the Registry, from an annual average of 384 transplants in the 1990’s, to 428 in the 2000’s to 491 in 2008.

However, the results of the bootstrap analysis showed a small trend towards higher absolute mean errors in predicting calcium scores based on a linear regression model for VNC pc compared to VNC conv .

As shown in Figure 4 and Supplemental Figure 3 , the tree shrews showed a small trend toward increased latency when it came to entering the dark box and reduced percentage of staying time in the dark box, implying reinstatement effects in the fear memory in this species.

Thus, also in terms of PEA, the awareness of an error did not influence behavioural adjustments (despite a small trend indicating that PEA might be larger after detected than undetected errors).

However, in our experimental setting, CsA treatment did not produce significant alterations in plasma lipid levels: HDL-cholesterol levels were unchanged and only a small trend to increased non HDL-cholesterol was observed.

For cellulose synthase encoding gene, the transcript abundance was relatively stable in the whole diel cycle, although there was a small trend of increase throughout the dark period and the first 6 h of the light period, with an apparent peak at the 6th hour of the light period (G1 phase) ( Figure 3B ).

For BTf-ZnTf 2 GPEs Tm values show a very steady value of about 110 °C with a small trend to lower temperatures.

There were no differences between the different sessions showing no effect of Scenario, also, there was no significant effect from long-term interaction either, although there was a small trend that participants rated the agent as easier to use in the later sessions.

However, in the PARAGON-HF trial, sacubitril/valsartan did not significantly improve AF incidence, HF hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death, although a small trend toward benefit emerged among women and patients with lower EF ranges [ 103 ]. 8.2.5.

Even though the pulse series are acquired above the switching threshold, only the dG corresponding to the first pulse stands far from the x axis, while the next points follow a small trend at intermediate conductance levels which is highlighted by the soft bound law, then they accumulate along the x axis.

In WT mice injected with LpX ( Fig 5A ), a small trend toward increasing UACR values was observed but did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.106, One Way ANOVA).

In the same study, a small trend toward lower GABAA subunits’ expression was found in animals exposed to JS solely compared to the control group of animals [ 47 ].

Discussion The results of the two-stream RSVP with the standard series of distractors showed, as expected, a clear-cut LVF advantage in T2 identification, while T1 was identified equally well in both VFs, with a small trend to a RVF advantage.

We observed a small trend for increased fluorescent signal the day after starting CNO that persisted for days 3 through 5 but did not reach significance ( Figure 3D–F ).

Female KO mice had significantly increased O 2 consumption and CO 2 production compared to WT mice ( Figure 3H and I ), while there was only a small trend toward increases in the male KO mice ( Figure 3C and D ).

Our observations of a small trend of reduced Wnt-signaling when N-cadherin is reduced in Wnt-producing cells are consistent with mechanisms where cell-cell adhesion enhances Wnt signaling, potentially by optimizing the physical interactions and/or proximity of ligand and receptor.

In contrast with the significant stimulation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 mRNA transcripts in IC-21 mouse macrophages during productive SG-MCMV infection, UVi-MCMV resulted in only a small trend toward transient stimulation of SOCS1 and SOCS3 that did not reach statistical significance when compared with medium-treated control cells ( Fig 3 ) and remained significantly lower than SG-MCMV values (SOCS1: p<0.05 for ≥2 hpi, and SOCS3: p<0.001 for 2 and 4 hpi, UVi-MCMV compared with SG-MCMV at each time point).

However, only a small trend of broader tuning correlating with larger SSA was observed, which was again not different between WT and Fmr1-/- animals.

Inclusion of non-linear time dependent effects, with a categorical timing of BCG variable, did show a small trend for time dependency ( figure 2D ).

The citrate-based data were similar, with a small trend (0.1 %) possibly evident in the residuals.

In subsequent testing, a small trend of continuing improvement could be seen in the HI group for both HF tests and for the NH group for HF-CVC test, but this trend was smaller than the standard error and not significant.

However, a disconcerting finding was that oncologists showed a small trend towards being more patient-centred and warmer towards patients with a normal life expectancy than patients with a prognosis of weeks to months.

18 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 50 Results of our study also showed a trend toward the belief that bioidentical estradiol is more effective than other estrogens for menopause-related vasomotor symptoms but associated with a higher risk of breast cancer ( Table 5 ).There was also a small trend favoring progesterone over MPA with regards to beliefs of effectiveness (menopause related vasomotor symptoms and improving quality of life) and safety ( Table 5 ).

15 Although there was a small trend favoring antibiotic prophylaxis in a recent metaanalysis, no definite conclusion could be reached given the poor quality of the studies. 31 Furthermore, the stringent case definition for bacterial pneumonia, which included mandatory positive microbiologic results, may well have led to an underestimation of the true incidence of bacterial pneumonia.
