“a weak trend”

However we observed a weak trend towards an association of ULBP2 with viremia in that there were reduced levels of ULBP2 mRNA with the BCP mutants compared to WT and increased ULBP2 levels expression with the pre-core variants.

In general, a weak trend emerged between discharge and the number of unique individuals crossing the Americus site [0.00373 carps/(m 3 /s); 95% credible interval: 0.00262–0.00485]. eDNA We did not observe any consistent trends across eDNA sampling transects (e.g. high copy numbers from transect points in either the middle or edges of the river; Fig.

We found a weak trend whereby ‘evolutionary distinctiveness’—a measure of species’ relative contribution to phylogenetic diversity 37 —was lower in species lacking meaningful habitat protection or any other documented conservation interventions, compared with species with at least one documented intervention (Extended Data Fig. 9 ; deviance = 4, d.f. = 1, P = 0.05).

Intriguingly, there was also a trend for an overall advantage for synaesthetes over controls when the shape was defined by display colour ( Figure 4 implies that this may be due to differences at the middle set sizes, but there is only a weak trend for an interaction, so we are not able to analyse this statistically).

A weak trend towards increased inappropriate speech in the 1.3 atm group (see Figure 3a ) was observed; this finding was not seen in the 1.5 atm group (see Figure 4a ).

When the amplitude for each trial was plotted across the session, there was a weak trend towards declining amplitudes over time, with the slope of the regression line for the eye-blink response more than twice as steep as that for the PAMR.

There is also a weak trend toward higher response rate in patients who have had a nephrectomy [ 7 ].

The SSD in anurans shows a weak trend that is consistent with Rensch’s rule.

To that end, there was no significant influence of Omnipod 5 use duration upon change in TIR, and the impact on HbA1c was negligible (with a weak trend towards greater reduction over time), suggesting a durable effect upon improvements in glycaemic management. 5.

When comparing the top 150 frequent and bottom 150 keywords, we see a weak trend indicating that the top 150 keywords transfer from Twitter to Google more than the bottom 150 do.

There was a weak trend for an interaction between day and treatment for Lactobacillus spp .

Amplification of the TOP1 gene, representing a situation where CEN-20 is not involved in gene gain, exhibited a weak trend towards longer TTR when compared to the rest of the population, a finding which may be attributed to the low number of event in this particular subgroup.

The presence of a confounding condition (prevalence ratio [PR] 1.51, 95% CI 1.15–1.98), being heterosexual and male (PR 2.03, 95% CI 1.53–2.69) or female (PR 1.44, 95% CI 1.04–2.00), and having no university education (PR 1.75, 95% CI 1.35–2.27) were associated with NCI, there was a weak trend associated with increasing age (PR 1.13 per decade, 95% CI 1.00–1.29).

They also scored lower, at trend-level, on ‘excessive social anxiety’ (a weak trend also present in Study 1).

When comparing the two syndrome clusters in relation to gender using a chi-squared test, a weak trend suggested that women more commonly experienced depression with symptoms related to Spleen Deficiency whereas men's experience of depression was more likely to be related to Liver Qi Stagnation ( χ 2 = 3.98, df = 1, P = 0.046).

It indicates a weak trend of increased methylation being associated with decreased gene expression.

While not a predictor for either HBV or HCV, the overall group of patients showed a weak trend toward increased knowledge with lower age.

In the northern part of Eastern Europe, a weak trend from east to west was observed based on nuclear markers, in contrast to the chloroplast DNA data, which revealed a sharp distinction between the populations in the eastern Russian Plain and Urals and those in the western regions due to the absence of shared haplotypes.

There is a weak trend for higher bulk and tap densities for granules with larger particle sizes.

In total, we identified only 38 genes with a weak trend towards significant differences in variant localization and 30 genes with nominal significant differences in variant type for the two associated disorders.

The azimuth angle fluctuated from 35.84° in 1998 to 19.01° in 2019, indicating that there was a weak trend of the PM 2.5 spatial distribution pattern shifting to the “north-south” direction, which means that Jiaozuo city, Xinxiang city, and their surrounding areas, which are roughly located in the northern Henan Province, have a slightly stronger air pollution level than the northeastern part.

P300 amplitude decline This study also revealed that subjects who played the prosocial video game had smaller P300 amplitudes in the presence of violent words (and a weak trend for prosocial words) than did those who played the neutral video game.

A weak trend was observed between increasing concentrations of mothers’ erythrocyte cadmium and higher median age at menarche (1.8 months difference between highest and lowest quartile).

Conversely, analysis of muscle isotopic composition suggested a weak trend of higher macroalgal reliance in P. colias than N. fucicola , which was not conserved in lens‐based models.
