“a weak trend”

They clearly indicated superior efficacy in the PAOD‐group, only (see Table 1 ), suggesting that overall superiority was achieved mainly by the fact that a weighted average has been calculated (loosely speaking) from a strongly positive treatment effect in PAOD (risk difference –1.9% in favor of clopidogrel), a weak trend in patients with previous stroke (risk difference –1.0% in favor of clopidogrel) and a borderline neutral effect in patients with previous myocardial infarction (risk difference 0.3% in favor of aspirin).

Acidic residues in acetylation-generated motifs maintained similar preference for position −4 and low frequency in position −2, as observed in the canonical motifs ( Fig 3C ), while among the phosphorylation amenable amino acids used in phosphorylation-generated motifs, only serine showed a weak trend in this direction ( Fig 3B ).

Regarding macrophage dynamics, we did see a weak trend of slower velocities and smaller process coverage area with aging, confirmation of which will require further investigation.

Analyses of variance of the results showed that there was a weak trend of first graders having longer latencies than the fourth and seventh graders but that this difference was not significant [F(2,27) = 1.791, p = 0.19].

In the oldest age group, there was a weak trend such that those with prior lower limb injuries had a somewhat higher injury incidence during MP training.

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.

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.

We also found a weak trend for wing‐clipped females to lay eggs with higher yolk levels of lipid oxidative damage (MDA) that did not reach the statistical significance threshold ( χ 2 = 3.119, p = 0.077, Figure 2b ). 4 Discussion In this study, we showed that the experimental reduction of the body condition of spotless starling females before reproduction (D'Arpa et al. 2022 ) affected the size, weight, and composition of the eggs they laid.

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.

There was a weak trend for an association of age with vaccine hesitancy; this could not, however, be explored further due to banded collection of age data and the narrow age range of this cohort.

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.

There is only a weak trend toward higher richness with more publications (fig.

There was a weak trend towards reduced interconnectivity across the data as the number of samples increased, with the full dataset showing a slightly larger skew in the number of weakly interconnected samples than any of the subsets (Figure 6 ). 4 DISCUSSION 4.1 Is interconnectivity a better indicator of instability?

No such trend is detectable in our data for petrous bones (P2, P3) and teeth (T3), and only a weak trend in other bones (B2).

A weak trend of increase of Il1rl1 by IL-2 was noted in Sf.

Macrophyte assemblages showed a weak trend toward taxonomic differentiation between periods (mean dissimilarity increase of 0.08 ± 0.17; Table 2 ).

While we found no effect of optical stimulation of DRN DAT terminals on locomotion or time in center in the OFT ( Figure 3—figure supplement 1 ), we found stimulation of DRN DAT terminals in the BNST (but not in the CeA or BLP) resulted in a weak trend toward increased time spent in the open arm of the EPM ( Figure 3A–C ), which can be interpreted as exploratory behavior linked with a vigilant state ( Rodgers and Dalvi, 1997 ).

We only observed a weak trend suggesting that the presence of genes in highly complete genomes was predicted with lower sensitivity and higher specificity than in less complete genomes ( Supplementary Fig.

There was a weak trend for a temporal association in mean transmission between the pre- and postintervention period, with an estimated correlation of 0.29 (95% CI, −0.26 to 0.72) for MRSA and 0.31 (95% CI, −0.19 to 0.71) for VRE.

Conversely, a weak trend between MW and toxicity suggests that heavier compounds are less toxic.

There was a weak trend for increased fecal N losses (relative to the N intake), but no effect on urinary excretion and N retention in the body in the BP-PEG− and HP-PEG− groups was observed.

In general, the mean Rb–Sr mineral–whole rock apparent ages of up to 5 muscovite grain-size and magnetic fractions show a weak trend to decrease from the weakly deformed sample M1217 (236 Ma) to the mylonitic sample M1201 (177 Ma).

As already discussed, the existence of a weak trend or the absence thereof is a likely sign of the effect being close to saturation.

Depressive symptoms were stable over time, with a weak trend toward increasing severity for the moderate-severe symptom trajectory.

There was a weak trend towards older decedents being less likely to overdose on cocaine and opiates.
