“a strong trend”

49 Hence, there was a strong trend (just barely missing statistical significance) suggesting that poststroke pentoxifylline could reduce early mortality by about one-third.

Mice receiving AZD5363 demonstrated a significant decrease in the proliferation rates and a strong trend for increased apoptotic rates compared to control mice (Figure 8E ).

Deficiency of MARCO was found to significantly inhibit tumor progression and metastasis in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer, and correlation of clinical data showed a strong trend toward poorer survival in patients with high CD163 and MARCO macrophage infiltration ( 32 ).

It implied that the ANAMMOX granules with a diameter larger than 4 mm had a strong trend to float in high rate reactors due to accumulation of dinitrogen gas in gas pockets [ 28 ].

Although statistical differences were not reached, there was a strong trend that local intramedullary injury upregulated Bmp3 in all groups.

A strong trend toward a decrease in plant height over time occurred likely due to the production of new, shorter stems as main culms in the swards senesced ( Dai and Wiegert, 1996 ), but the pattern in plant height was similar in both tidal treatments ( Fig. 2B ).

An exception, however, is the acrocentric autosomes (13–15, 21, 22), which all show a strong trend toward increased sperm methylation with age.

Results: Homozygous animals could be identified by Southern blot and quantitative PCR, showing a strong trend to increased transgenic protein expression.

Smoking status subgroup For the smoking status subgroup, there was a strong trend for a higher reduction in the rate of moderate and severe exacerbations in ex-smokers compared to smokers for triple therapy comparisons with LAMA/LABA in the largest study (IMPACT) and against LABA/ICS in TRILOGY.

Although the differences did not reach statistical significance using A one-way ANOVA (F(1.001, 4.004) = 2.549, p = 0.1856), the high coefficient of determination ( R 2 = 0.918) indicates a strong trend toward enhanced removal efficiency at 25 °C.

The MAP group, which monitored their experienced pain levels and reported them every five seconds, also had similarly high pain tolerances, which had a strong trend towards being significantly greater than the silence condition.

In aquatic systems, AgNPs show a strong trend toward sedimentation.

While the magnitude of changes for AGO1 and AGO2 knockout cells are less, there is a strong trend among all knockout AGO knockout cell lines separating down-regulated and up-regulated genes.

68 However, there is a strong trend toward increasing early active movement protocols in EBM, although this has not been reflected in the tracer data. 34 , 69 – 72 Becker’s active protocol accounts for 24% of therapy prescribed behind Duran’s (36%) and Kleinert’s (27%) techniques.

HR + /HER2 + tumors preferentially recur in bones, while there is a strong trend for more visceral metastases in the HR − /HER2 + cancers ( Paluch-Shimon et al. 2009 ; Vaz-Luis et al. 2012 ).

Introduction With the gradual exhaustion of fossil energy and the resulting emission of carbon oxides, the development of new green and sustainable energy, such as wind energy and solar energy, presents a strong trend, which puts forward higher requirements for energy storage and conversion technology ( Li S. et al., 2021 ).

On an individual level, one of the six tested listeners showed significantly increased ITD weights and two further listeners showed a strong trend for increased ITD weights.

Hemlock/Sitka spruce displayed a strong trend in the opposite direction, with large differences between the two approaches for the small and medium size classes, and a very small difference in the large sawtimber class.

Despite a strong trend towards greater timing adherence with dry powder capsules, the difference between the two study groups did not reach statistical significance.

Owing to the weather (2016–2018), there is a strong trend among European universities, among which German Sport University Cologne and Liverpool John Moores University stand out.

Although studies were too few for confirmation, there was a strong trend also observed for a positive relationship between ‘western’ style (unhealthy) dietary pattern and depression [ 31 ].

In addition, neurophysiological parameters were improved in adult S63del animals overexpressing XBP1s, with a significant increase in nerve conduction velocities and a strong trend towards reduction in F-wave latencies ( Fig. 6F and G ).

Finally, although not statistically significant, treatment with indirubin and isatin induced a strong trend towards decreasing BAX and increasing ERCC1 gene expression, respectively.

We observed that crizotinib treatment led to profound changes in miRNA expression profiles, with a strong trend in miRNA downregulation: we found 89 under-expressed miRNAs versus 15 over-expressed miRNAs.

No significant effect of an axSpA diagnosis was found for overall back pain, morning stiffness intensity or duration, although there was a strong trend for all variables for a higher improvement in axSpA, nearly reaching statistical significance.
