“a weak trend”

If we focus specifically on participants who reported obligatory visualization for heard words — which could be considered the opposite of auditory imagery for read words — a weak trend for an association is found.

We found a weak trend of improvement in daytime somnolence after 3 months of treatment, with stronger results after 12 months (median Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score from 6.0 to 4.0, p = 0.015); a significant improvement in subjective sleep quality (median Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) total score from 7 to 5; p = 0.001) was also observed.

The mean (± SD) alcohol lifetime alcohol consumption of the patients was 1038±828 kg, and they smoked a mean (± SD) of 17±13 cigarettes per day, yielding a weak trend towards correlation between individual alcohol and cigarette consumption (r = 0.27; n.s.).

Figure 4 shows that, in general, there is a weak trend from higher Cr# and Mg# for the LG chromites towards lower Cr# and Mg# for UG-2 chromites, with some significant overlap between MG and UG chromites (Fig. 4 ).

Among those residing in the ≤1.6 km, >1.6 to ≤3.2 km, and the >3.2 to 8.0 km radii, only 4.3%, 2.6%, and 1.4% of participants responded positively to utilizing CBFR, thus exhibiting a weak trend of decreased utilization with increasing distance from CBFR. 3.3.

We observed only a weak trend to lose H2Aub (median loss 15%) at derepressed genes (Fig. 2d and Extended Data Fig. 5b ).

There was a weak trend of increasing presence only abundance at intermediate levels of reef cover (Fig. 5 d).

Although BCIs for the odds ratios generally overlapped for different treatment frequencies and dissemination methods, there was a weak trend for the odds of a positive examination result to decrease as the number of treatments increased.

Unlike peripapillary RNFLT, macular RNFLT (1–3 mm) showed only a weak trend with offspring number ( Supplementary Fig.

However, it should be noted that there was only a weak trend toward higher stability of primary productivity in communities affected by a functionally more similar decomposer community (Exp. 2).

The posterior mean probability of selecting reduce was similar across HFI levels, with a slight tendency toward lower probabilities at large HFI levels (small: 0.14 [95% credible interval 0.00 to 0.82]; medium: 0.14 [0.00 to 0.83]; large: 0.10 [0.00 to 0.64]), but the credible intervals suggest this was a weak trend (Appendix S4 ; Figure 3 ).

This is supported by the observation of only a weak trend in methylation changes at these CpGs towards a younger methylome (Fig. 4 C) and aligns with previous findings that CpGs with a greater impact on healthy longevity do not necessarily undergo substantial methylation changes during aging [ 114 ].

A recent phase 2 clinical study in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and stage F2 or F3 fibrosis found that 52 weeks of tirzepatide administration significantly improved the resolution of NASH without worsening fibrosis, but had only a weak trend toward fibrosis regression ( Loomba et al., 2024a ).

A weak trend in the same direction was observed between the time spent looking at the target and localisation error although this did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.128).

Outcome events In both placebo- and empagliflozin-treated patients, patients with prHT were generally at increased risk for all outcomes compared with patients with no-prHT—with the only exception of all-cause mortality in the placebo group which only showed a weak trend in this respect (heart rate 1.13, 95% confidence interval, 0.82–1.56 for prHT vs. no-prHT).

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 ).

Consistent with these findings, we also observed a weak trend for a decline in FA in the hippocampal cingulum bundle, a key component of the limbic system involved in communication with the hippocampus.

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.

In particular, the PV+ population did not undergo the robust between-session increase in surround suppression and reduction in preferred stimulus size observed in excitatory neurons, although it did exhibit a weak trend in this direction.

However, in the natural environment, only a weak trend was obtained for static conditions (standing with a bike) and there was no correlation for dynamic conditions (during riding).

DNMT1 copy number showed a weak trend for association with sensitivity to PI-103 and THZ-2-102-1, whoever it did not reach the threshold of | ρ | > 0.3 ( ρ = − 0.256 and − 0.268, respectively; Additional file 7 : Table S4).

In the current study, no significant association was identified for incidence of PA by birthweight, although a weak trend in the same direction as the previously identified association was observed (OR = 1.05, 95%CI: 0.99–1.09 per 500 g).

Although the sample size for each year was small, the number of years since the training period was not a significant predictor of the strength of response, but there was a weak trend towards a decrease in strength of response to playbacks conducted two or more years after the training period versus those conducted earlier (Fig. 4 , Table 5 ).

There was no correlation between methylation levels of the TNF gene and any demographic or clinical variables, with the exception of age, which showed a weak trend for reduced methylation with age (rho = −0.440).

While the emergence of native plants was compromised by the presence of invasive plants, we only found a weak trend for emergence of S. gigantea to reduce in communities with higher functional dispersion ( Supplementary File 1; Figure S1 ).
