“a small trend”

We did note that there was perhaps a small trend towards a reduced incidence of cases, in particular in the fungal subgroup.

Although our results indicate a small trend, further studies are needed to confirm their combined effects using other animal models.

In our findings there was a small trend showing slightly higher pursuit gain for retinotopic relative to spatiotopic targets, but this trend was insignificant.

The co-injection of PMN- or MO-MDSCs isolated from MM-bearing mice did not enhance 5TGM1 tumor growth in vivo (Figure 2C ), even though a small trend towards faster tumor growth was observed at early time points.

Glutamine deprivation resulted in a significant upregulation of ROS levels in SH-SY5Y cells, while only a small trend was shown in BE(2)-C cells (Figures 5 H).

However it presents a small trend to the left and still performs turns around the y axis.

ACE2KO mice had a small trend toward higher systolic blood pressures compared to their wild‐type littermates; however, it did not reach statistical significance (24‐h mean systolic blood pressures: ACE2 KO 117.13 ± 3 vs.

Our study found a small trend for unblinding in randomized clinical trials to underestimate placebo effects (creating a nocebo effect) and no evidence for the overestimation for intervention effects (enhanced placebo effects).

Staining for ARGxx, an ACAN neoepitope generated by ADAMTS-dependent degradation, showed a small trend of increase in the AF compartment of ABCC6 −/− mice at 7–8 months, whereas a significant decrease was noted at 16–18 months ( Figures 5A–A" ).

At 6 months [ 83 ] there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, although there remained a small trend towards overall benefit with supplemental oxygen.

There was a small trend for higher BDNF in WT (9.99±1.2 pg/μg) compared to R6/2 (8.31±1.4 pg/μg) non-running mice and in WT (9.94±1.5 pg/μg) versus R6/2 (8.69±0.4 pg/μg) running mice but the differences were not large enough to reach statistical significance.

Further, there was a small trend, also impacted by the sample size, that patients with lower QFR seemed to be scheduled slightly earlier for staged PCI (Figure S3 ).

Interestingly, whilst models based on FI reconstructions exhibited a small trend for smaller depolarizations, this was indistinguishable between methods at all locations (Figure 5B ).

In this study, a small trend of reduction in the six years (95.0 to 88.2%) was observed; however, it was not statistically significant ( p = 0.664).

In our study, despite the increased abundance of Ki67+ cells and intestinal surface area in cold-stressed WT mice, we only observed a small trend for increased jejunal Fgf7 mRNA levels in male WT mice, and no differences in jejunal Igf1 or Igf1r mRNA levels.

The lowest level of p62 protein was detected in WT animals, whereas no differences were found between SOD1 animals, except for a small trend in the increase in CondM treated animals.

Signaling via p-ERK1/2 seems to be less relevant as no significant changes, but only a small trend to induced p-ERK1/2 levels could be shown.

Finally, a small trend for a higher correlation between STST and 6MWT performance in children ≤ 10 years of age, compared to older children (> 10 years of age) was observed in this study (r = 0.54 vs r = 0.43, respectively).

Discussion Though we did observe a small trend for a higher frequency of type A subjects and a lower of type O among confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, our data failed to reproduce the skewed frequency of ABO blood group types reported on the Chinese and American populations.

A small trend toward an increased expression of inflammasome genes was observed in septic shock patients, who also displayed a marked tendency to an increased expression of IL-18 and IL-1β genes.

No significant differences were found in microbial diversity of flies exposed to the different feed treatments, except for a small trend in the 6 days old flies fed with the Young microbial solution, in which diversity was lower and more variable compared to flies fed both the Control and Old feed.

As with women undergoing active surveillance, a small trend towards an increase in the proportion of women with high educational level and high maternal educational level was observed (Figure S3 ).

In a mixed knee-pathology cohort among older adults, IVS showed a small trend toward higher loading-response flexion (16.9° vs. 16.4°).

Descriptive analysis showed a small trend over time towards more active roles ( Table 1 ).

Nevertheless, a small trend between HG and HG + CM could be seen, which is consistent with our previous results after 6 days of stimulation [ 12 ].
