“a strong trend”

Despite these challenges, the parallel quantitative evaluation of the HABIT interventions [ 19 ] found a strong trend of improved oral health behaviours.

The fact that abnormal phosphorus and albumin levels are independently associated with ionized hypocalcemia, with a strong trend for higher phosphate, suggests that these biochemical derangements be specifically considered in the assessment of hypocalcemic patients.

At the symptomatic stage, a strong trend towards decreased Angptl3 mRNA in the liver (the most crucial source of ANGPTL-3) of SOD1 mice was detected, which may account for the reduced serum levels.

Against a strong trend of rising total health care costs, the CBP-related costs decreased, which would suggest that the effect of CBP-related costs of the intervention could even be substantially larger.

We observed a strong trend toward reduction of TNF-alfa and increase of IL10 values in the PTX group, but no significant effect in cardiac function variables.

23 It found no significant surgical-site infection (SSI) prevention, but power was only 75.6%; among S aureus carriers there was a strong trend toward SSI prevention, and overall postoperative S aureus infections were reduced significantly.

Overall, the Affymetrix signals for these genes showed a strong trend toward negative correlations with miR-122 abundance.

The characteristics significantly associated with the completion of cisplatin-based treatment, the receipt of ≥80% cisplatin, or showing a strong trend of association after multivariate analyses were used for the prognostic instrument.

We found that both conditioned Crtl1-WT and Crtl1-KO mice showed significant IL activation at the end of early extinction although there was a strong trend for lower IL activation in KO with respect to WT mice (Fig. 5 G-H).

Results There exists a strong trend of worsening visual acuity as RNFL thickness at the optic nerve head decreases in all scanned regions.

There was a strong trend toward reduced variability in the results in patients with a larger wavefront diameter.

Additionally, differential expression of mouse S100A7/psoriasin was observed between DMBA and MMTV- neu induced mammary tumors, and a strong trend towards a negative correlation between mouse S100A7/psoriasin and estrogen receptor alpha expression emerged in the DMBA induced mammary tumors.

On the left, the bubble plot for Axis 1 shows a strong trend of the first climate component with latitude, as already indicated by the strong correlation between axis 1 and latitude.

In all analyses there was a strong trend for those scoring higher on the PSE-ID to have a greater mortality.

An Austrian study reported a significant increase in TBUT from 5.6 to 8.8 s and a strong trend in meibum secretion score (MSS) improvement from 9.5 to 14.4 at the 3-month follow-up [ 25 ].

Results Working memory performance There was a strong trend toward a significantly improved task performance as expressed by the sensitivity index d ′ after consumption of green tea extract [mean (SD): 3.23 (0.42)] compared with the control drink [mean (SD): 2.84 (0.45); t (11) = 2.041; p = 0.066; Fig. 2 ].

( 2022 ) reported different success rates with modelling of metafounders depending on whether a trait had a strong trend or a weak one.

It is worth noting that recent publications have shown a strong trend towards using mixed models to explore the G × E interaction in breeding programs.

There was a strong trend toward increased fasting plasma insulin levels in MHF offspring, but this difference did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.068).

Whereas in the aortic root the reduction was not significant ( Fig 2A ), we did find a strong trend to a reduction of apoptosis in the aortic arches ( Fig 2B ).

We also noticed a strong trend for the association of rs9288952 with OS, but not with risk of disease.

Despite a strong trend to more smokers in the HIV infected group (49% vs 27%) this difference did not reach statistical significance; P = .06.

Additionally, at the individual level, we did not observe a strong trend in increasing or decreasing diversity following each cycle of treatment ( Fig 2F ).

At the sublethal level, a strong trend was observed for both Tychonema -fed groups in terms of reduced growth rates, reduced reproductive success and reduced storage compound concentrations.

This difference was not statistically significant ( P = .06) but showed a strong trend.
