The results do not support that an emergency hospital admission for pneumonia is the final stage of a general health deterioration over time as only a small trend of increased contact over the last months before admission could be observed.
BMI donors and BMI recipients showed a small trend for relevance.
We observed a small trend such that male faculty tended to receive higher ratings (of 0.10 points) of overall teaching quality than female faculty.
Despite a small trend toward enrolled cases being more affluent than unenrolled cases, the differences were minimal and most did not meet a priori definitions of significance.
We also found cumulative activity-over-time to be modestly associated with prostate cancer risk and showed a small trend with the moderate grade tumours.
1 b, seven of the nine symptoms assessed improved in the OBS arm, with only a small trend of alteration for nausea/vomiting and diarrhea.
In addition, among meta-analyses that have examined the impact of age, some have not found age to be a significant moderator of treatment efficacy (Dowell & Ogles, 2010 ), while others have found a small trend for younger children evidencing greater benefits from parent-involved treatment (Beelmann et al., 2023 ).
By contrast, we did note a small trend-level negative association between liking ratings and the BOLD effect in the 0.83 M concentration sucrose scans in the lateral aspect of the right orbital ROI (with the majority of the effect lying laterally outside the ROI).
Patients who perceived their treatment as more effective and less disruptive to their lives represented a small trend towards being more likely to be in paid employment, but this was not of statistical significance.
In one study, based on 126 individuals living in Sweden and infected with subtypes A, B, C and D [ 17 ], there were no statistically significant differences in the rate of CD4 cell decline or in the rate of clinical progression, although there was a small trend towards a faster rate of CD4 decline among subtype D-infected patients.
7 showed a mean difference of 2.7 years between the LEAs obtained by the two methods, reflecting a small trend of a lower LEA, on average, when measured photopically by Mapcat sf than when it is measured scotopically at absolute threshold.
Although we found a small trend supporting the hypothesis that individuals with higher overall motivation exhibit a smaller change in V̇O 2peak with encouragement, the association was rather weak and nonsignificant (Figure 2 ).
Only a small trend toward increased resistance of het CTC-C was observed.
Notably, the CD44s hi phenotype was accompanied by a marked increase in the expression of the stemness marker and drug efflux transporter ALDH1, whereas ABCB1 expression showed a small trend to upregulation in soft conditions (Figure 3D ).
A small trend of increased accumulation, compared to the absence of inhibitor (1.2-fold in MDCKII-ABCC1 and 1.4-fold in MDCKII-ABCC2) was seen when co-incubating Act D with MK571, but was not statistically significant ( Fig. 3 C).
Extensive efforts have also been made with the use of recombinant FGF21 or FGF21 variants as potential therapy, due to beneficial metabolic effects observed in mice 152 , 153 ; however, only a small trend toward glucose lowering was reported in humans 154 .
The Monte Carlo algorithm presented in this work was shown to predict the transversal diffusion coefficients well over a range of gases in Section 3.1 , although a small trend to underestimate the transversal diffusion was seen for propane gas at high reduced electric fields.
In summary, a five-minute VR nature microbreak delivered during work shifts produced meaningful, immediate enhancements in positive mood and a small trend toward increased parasympathetic activity.
We observed a small trend toward reduction of macrophages infiltration by norbixin, however this was not statistically significant (data not shown).
4a and thus confirms a small trend of higher average curvatures in cells without vimentin and actin.
ApoE4-TR females showed a small trend toward impairment compared with ApoE3-TR females, regardless of Aβ expression, but this did not reach significance.
Optogenetic light were given at 11–18 trials of looming tests, and the behavioral results revealed that the activation of SuM-DG circuit significantly enhanced alertness levels given the reaction time to the looming stimulation was decreased when blue light was given, while inhibiting the SuM-DG circuit after the alertness stimulation response reached a plateau demonstrated a small trend toward increased reaction time in looming tests (Fig. 3G and H ), suggesting that activating the SuM-DG pathway before reaching the alertness plateau plays a critical role in the alertness phenotype.
Concerning the evolution of this gap, although there is a small trend, it is neither visually notable nor sustained over the long term.
Specifically, age was not found to correlate with the stimulus AC/A ratio, though with a clear trend similarly to a small trend reported by Heron et al. 92 in observers above the age of 45 years.
Although this collection of data does not strictly represent only newborn term or preterm infants it should be noted that data from specific models of preterm infants fall well within the data spread and examination across multiple age ranges from preterm to adults ( 3 - 5 ) shows large intersubject variability with only a small trend with age.
