“a weak trend”

Here we saw a weak trend between elevated serum glucose levels and a poor BC prognosis, although the risk was not particularly large.

We found that studies demonstrated a weak trend towards younger and older animals having more association with pathogen burden or clinical signs.

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

For RFS, there is a weak trend favoring the Cy-pretreated participants (HR 0.79, 95% CI, 0.52 to 1.19, Supplementary Fig. 1B ).

A weak trend toward reduced attenuation may be present in some cases, although the relationship was neither monotonic nor uniform.

Calcium intake was not associated with any outcomes from baseline to end, with only spine BMD showing a weak trend of a positive association.

Using all of this information, we determine that a trend exists if it meets at least 2 of the 3 criteria, a weak trend exists if it meets one of the criteria, and no trend exists if it meets none of the criteria.

When the shell length of mortalities is plotted against the number of days held at 26°C, there was no relationship between mussel size and ‘days to death’ aside from a weak trend for family B ( Supplementary Figure S1 , R 2 = 0.092).

However, there appeared to be a weak trend toward correlation.

Overall, we found a weak trend for a higher CoMiSS with increasing age.

A weak trend in the same direction was observed when combining 3 independent external glioblastoma datasets.

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

There is a weak trend for independence of motion to increase with increasing genomic distance (Fig. 4d ).

4.3 Genetic parameters are not correlated with contemporary population density Neither observed heterozygosity nor the inbreeding coefficient was significantly correlated with contemporary population densities (Figure 5 ), although there was a weak trend suggesting that populations with higher observed heterozygosity in the 1990s have higher densities at present.

Additionally, our findings suggested only a weak trend for social (vs. temporal) comparisons to exhibit stronger associations with mental health variables.

( 2017b ) found a weak trend where more semantically similar word pairs were also more phonologically similar.

In the adult group, no substantial differences between the distraction effects in the novel and repeated condition could be observed—and only a weak trend was observable across individuals (63% with higher distraction effects in the novel condition).

The other miRs remained either unchanged or showed a weak trend to be elevated ( S4 Fig ).

EGFR knockdown in DU145 cells resulted in a low, but significant, increase in DHRS7 mRNA expression and a weak trend increase in protein expression.

Based on our current data, we cannot exclude a weak trend for a more severe presentation of TBE and, somewhat counterintuitively, higher lymphocytic pleocytosis in the wt/ Δ32 heterozygotes.

There was a weak trend of positive correlation of effective dose with gene expression, ROS, and the pool of endpoints fold changes (Fig. 4 , Supplemental Table 3).

[ 10 ] investigated VWF and ADAMTS13 levels in PAD patients leading up to cardiovascular events, and reported a weak trend toward increased VWF/ADAMTS13 ratios in the 10 months before such events.

Dual-harm was not sex-differentiated, although there was a weak trend indicating that males had a higher risk of being in the dual-harm group than females.

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

Statistics applied to detect departures from neutrality reveal a weak trend toward positive values in A. gambiae and A. coluzzii (and hybrids) from “Far-West”, whereas negative values were scored in both species from West and Central Africa (significant in A. gambiae : D* = −2.583, F* = −2.686, and A. coluzzi : D* = −2.848, F* = −2.922) as well as in A. gambiae from Rwanda, suggesting the influence of different selective pressures and/or demographic histories in populations from different geographic areas.
