“a weak trend”

In addition we found that there was a trend for less benefit from CSM among those with higher salivary cortisol levels and a weak trend for more benefit from CSM among those with higher production of IL-10 by unstimulated PBMCs.

Overall, we observe a weak trend in the effect of salt difference on the DE formation propensity ( Figure 6 ).

Leptin levels decreased significantly in both groups, with a weak trend for greater relative decrease in the Paleolithic group, which becomes significant if a Paleolithic outlier in terms of cereal intake is excluded.

Furthermore, ToM's significance as a predictor of participants' punishment evaluations of the misinformer was just above the threshold of significance ( p = .053); suggesting a weak trend towards participants with high ToM being more likely to agree with punishing the misinformer compared to participants with low ToM.

Diagnosis specificity: comparison with cluster-C personality disorders patients From the behavioral measures, we observed a weak trend toward a significant difference between the passive viewing and regulation condition across stimulus categories in CPD patients (M = 11.74, SD = 28.46, t (20) = 1.89, p = 0.07).

Overall, our sensitivity analysis shows a rather inconclusive picture regarding uncertainty and a weak trend towards higher GPR(1%, 1 mm) for smaller voxels.

In contrast, PTM IA2 frequencies were not significantly correlated with c-peptide, but these exhibited a weak trend toward being negatively correlated and the four subjects with the highest measured frequencies each had low c-peptide levels (<0.2 nmol/L).

In the present study, although there was a weak trend for ADHD symptoms to be associated with larger values of tau, differences between the groups were small.

However, a weak trend toward a higher concentration difference between the gel and nongel tubes with smaller PSA, and higher logP, PB, and CF, may be inferred from the trend line slopes.

Moreover, in both wild-type and the hdc mutant, the linear correlations between V 0 and ∆ρ reflected only a weak trend of more sensitive photoreceptors (larger V 0 ) having wider receptive fields (larger ∆ρ) ( Figure 7—figure supplement 1C,D ).

Each individual feature may represent only a weak trend, but together numerous indicators can synergize to provide a compelling evidence of how a person’s lifestyle, her social circles, and even genetic background can vary by race and ethnicity.

In addition, there was a weak trend towards improvement in both Vitality (VT) and Mental Health (MH).

This effect was sex-dependent, showing a weak trend in females and reaching statistical significance in males.

With respect to AIS grade conversion, there was a weak trend toward a higher rate of a 2-grade conversion among early surgery patients (risk ratio [RR] = 3.56, 95%CI 0.41-30.99) which did not reach statistical significance.

It was interpreted according to Cohen (1988) for correlation coefficients where an absolute value of τ ≥ 0.5 indicates a strong trend; 0.3 ≤ τ < 0.5 indicates a moderate trend and 0.1 ≤ τ < 0.3 indicates a weak trend.

Interestingly, lower CBF correlated with lower levels of fatigue at 3 months, alongside a weak trend for a reduction in CBF after 3 months of treatment with adalimumab.

We did, however, observe a weak trend of higher basal ECAR and ATP production from the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) in the convalescent MIS-C group compared to the control group, but the differences were not significant (p > 0.05, Mann-Whitney test) ( Figures S10B, E ).

There is a weak trend between the size of the orbital and the binding energy: For the anions of 2,6-dicyanonaphthalene and in particular tetracyanobenzene, which have larger binding energies than the other quadrupole-bound anions, the Dyson orbital is somewhat more compact.

However, Seagle's study 18 found that lymph node positivity showed a weak trend toward a strongly negative prognostic association, and those women with high-grade ESS and no surgical node evaluation had significantly decreased survival.

In studies that allowed sulfonylureas (and metformin) as background medication (indicated by a light grey background area) 18,55,56 , this unique advantage of incretin mimetics was lost, although a weak trend towards less hypoglycemia remained.

Another study found that plasma α-MSH levels were similar between normal-weight, overweight, and obese subjects, although there was a weak trend toward higher α-MSH levels in obese than in lean men ( 19 ).

It preliminarily shows that the average value of creditor protection level of the first two types of enterprises may be affected by the impact of legal changes under the original trend, while the central state-owned enterprises have a weak trend, which is consistent with the economic intuition that the company is large, free capital is sufficient, and the nature of the enterprise is special.

However, behavioral allocation at the end of each block did show a weak trend to progressively become less extreme as reversal experience accumulated (Fig. 4b, bins 4 and 5), and the weight of cumulative past reinforcement may be a contributing factor in this.

Interestingly, there was a weak trend of all fecal SCFA being lower after gluten intake, compared to the other interventions, although only isovalerate reached significance.

The results showed a weak trend that photoinhibition of PSTN CR neurons (constant yellow photostimulation for 1 min) slightly reduced the probability of transitions and prolonged the latency from NREM sleep to wakefulness, while there is no statistical significance (Supplementary Fig. 11d–g ).
