“a weak trend”

There was a weak trend towards older decedents being less likely to overdose on cocaine and opiates.

Furthermore, P/P mice showed a weak trend towards the most modest increase in perirenal and epididymal fat depots, but this was far from significant ( p = 0.40 and p = 0.29 respectively for age-by-genotype interaction).

In contrast, for the AM fungal marker, a weak trend existed, showing a reduction in the 13 C incorporation in drought mesocosms.

Depressive symptoms were stable over time, with a weak trend toward increasing severity for the moderate-severe symptom trajectory.

We also saw a weak trend for decreasing housekeeper expression with sample age in our data; however, there was considerable sample variation ( Supplementary Figures 7 and 8 ).

The same gene showed a weak trend of association in an independent sample of individuals with dyslexia.

As already discussed, the existence of a weak trend or the absence thereof is a likely sign of the effect being close to saturation.

In general, the mean Rb–Sr mineral–whole rock apparent ages of up to 5 muscovite grain-size and magnetic fractions show a weak trend to decrease from the weakly deformed sample M1217 (236 Ma) to the mylonitic sample M1201 (177 Ma).

More specifically, there was a weak trend towards increased risk-taking as participants advanced through the trials.

A weak trend to DC increase occurred in patients undergoing negative lymphoadenectomy.

( 2011 ) only observed a weak trend when they correlated PFC oxy-Hb and WM performance.

There was a weak trend for increased fecal N losses (relative to the N intake), but no effect on urinary excretion and N retention in the body in the BP-PEG− and HP-PEG− groups was observed.

In this analysis we saw a weak trend that the more MOF bound the higher the male/female copy number ratio.

In the osteoporosis cohort, both genes showed only a weak trend of between-group differentiation in the internal training dataset, with AUC values exceeding 0.6 ( Figure 2 D).

Conversely, a weak trend between MW and toxicity suggests that heavier compounds are less toxic.

Once again, the F13A1 level of spot 12c (pI 5.85) attracted attention in the opposite direction by a weak trend of a negative correlation with enzymatic F13A1 activity ( Table 3 ).

Regarding the relation with patients survival, we showed only a weak trend of statistical association with DFS (0.118) (metastatic patients have a prevalent expression of PD-L1), while no statistically significance was detected with Overall survival (p-value= 0.726).

There was a weak trend for a temporal association in mean transmission between the pre- and postintervention period, with an estimated correlation of 0.29 (95% CI, −0.26 to 0.72) for MRSA and 0.31 (95% CI, −0.19 to 0.71) for VRE.

This analysis revealed a weak trend that MIEs with fewer training chemicals tend to have higher internal accuracies on average.

In the gtMS2 anterior expression domain ( Figure 2 D), there is synchronous onset of transcription in both sexes and a weak trend showing lower fluorescence in female embryos ( Figures 2 E and 2F).

We only observed a weak trend suggesting that the presence of genes in highly complete genomes was predicted with lower sensitivity and higher specificity than in less complete genomes ( Supplementary Fig.

A weak trend can be observed, however: the mean values of the relative difference between the amounts of protein peaks in the IRR and RF samples eluted at a given time, ( c IRR -c RF )/c RF , show a relationship with the elution time, so irrigation has a larger effect on the relative amounts of less hydrophobic avenin proteins (r 2 = 0.453) ( Fig. 6 ). 3.2.

Also, the PC scores PC2, PC3, and PC4 showed a weak trend for correlation with the number of female clicks (R = −0.316, −0.272, −0.278, respectively).

Table 1 shows that only 2 out of 12 variables correlated with Ca 2+ -spike in terms of coactivated spine numbers, whereas both D-spike and global Na + -spike initiation threshold spine numbers did not correlate significantly with any tested variable, with a weak trend for a positive correlation between spine distribution and global Na + -spike initiation ( Fig 8C ).

17 There was a weak trend toward higher dietary magnesium being associated with higher bone density in the hip, lumbar spine, and forearm; however, these results were limited by small study sizes and not statistically significant. 17 A second recent meta-analysis showed that a higher magnesium intake was associated with an
