Healthy dietary patterns—characterized by high intakes of vegetables, fruits, wholegrains, low-fat dairy, and lean protein foods—were associated with lower risk of preterm birth (OR for top compared with bottom tertile: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.68, 0.91; I 2 = 32%) and a weak trend towards a lower risk of small-for-gestational-age (OR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.73, 1.01; I 2 = 34%).
There is a weak trend when using all of the data for the MFSP against the fermentable carbohydrate mass fraction overall.
Body condition was also retained in the best model as a weak trend, suggesting a negative effect of Bd load on body condition.
Similar to the situation for the xylose conformers, a weak trend of increasing DFT energies with the BOSS/CREST predicted counterparts emerges, as shown in Figure 4 .
The marginal tendency of home range size decrease was identified for carnivores and rodents, while a weak trend of home range increase was observed in ungulates.
Using RT-PCR, we observed only a weak trend toward reduced Matr3 production upon NMDA stimulation ( Fig. 4 A ).
However, in the current study, systemic JIA did not emerge as an independent predictor of response, although there was a weak trend for patients with systemic JIA to have a lower proportion of patients achieving higher ACR Pedi response compared with other subtypes (not statistically significant), but the proportion achieving ACR Pedi 30 responses was similar.
Although there was a weak trend toward the diabetic group having a greater postprandial GLP-1 response, there was considerable heterogeneity in the AUC among the subjects and no correlation between this measure and insulin secretion or the magnitude of insulin suppression by GLP-1 receptor blockade.
In the group of glycerides, no significant alterations were observed; there was only a weak trend of higher TG levels in wildtype samples (Table S4 ).
There was no apparent distinction between fynbos species and IAP species in terms of their flammability, although there was a weak trend of IAPs burning at higher intensities than fynbos and thicket species.
First, we observed a weak trend of reduced re-pairing frequency during the first days (d1–d7) of re-pairing compared with single-gene RNAi or the (untreated) control group ( Supplementary Figure S6B ).
Conclusions The prevalence and severity of radiographic OLVF show a weak trend of ‘Chinese > Thais > Indonesians’, both for older women and for older men.
The correlation between the CBI 3' boundary and the splicing frequency was not significant (Figure 3C ; r = -0.11, P = 0.45, Spearman's rank order correlation; N = 46), suggesting a relatively constant level of CBI values in this region with a weak trend of negative correlation with the splicing frequency (see Additional file 2 ).
Besides, in the analysis of MR, there was a forward causality between appendicular lean mass and COPD (IVW: OR = 0.803; 95%CI: 0.680–0.949; p = 0.01), with a weak trend of causality to lung function.
Although it was not statistically significant, it had a weak trend that the known risk factors be positive predictors to future exacerbation in our result.
The “Overall Safety Score” and “Patient Safety Rating/Unit Grade’ exhibited a weak trend with a negative effect size, suggesting a gradual decline in the perception of safety over the studied period.
In the initial publication, only a weak trend was observed between the antitumor activity of loncastuximab tesirine and CD19 expression levels across ten cell lines, including CD19-negative cells. 11 Here, we expanded the number of cell lines analyzed and, even when focusing only on B-cell lymphoma models, we observed a significant correlation
Furthermore, in this study, the cases with decreased Bax expression from primary tumors to the corresponding metastases showed a more infiltrative growth pattern, more distant metastases, and a weak trend toward poor prognosis, indicating the involvement of Bax expression in tumor differentiation and metastatic progression.
We found that on baseline, PCD sputum neutrophils showed a weak trend towards a higher cellular content of F-actin as compared to blood neutrophils (Fig. 5 A).
Also, the 90% regression line exhibits a negative trend, whereas the 50% and 10% regression lines show a weak trend.
Additionally, although the tumor size did not stratify the prognosis after surgery, the presence of lymph node metastasis showed a significant correlation with poor RFS and a weak trend toward poor OS.
Phylogeny-based correlation analyses indicated only a weak trend for solitary species to be cryptic, and for gregarious ones to be conspicuous.
In both cases a weak trend is observed between performance and training time (R 2 0.25 and 0.38 respectively, Additional file 1 : Figure S5).
When the index does not exhibit a clear trend or shows a weak trend, outliers can be intuitively identified using the mean and standard deviation, corresponding to significant expansion in marginal areas.
Interestingly, a study by Siegel found that pets had an effect in mediating the relationship between AIDS diagnosis and depression and that there was a weak trend towards dogs being more successful in this role than cats [ 33 ].
