“a weak trend”

Third, the results suggest only a weak trend toward improved patient outcomes.

This indicates a weak trend that strains with higher resistance levels tend to show slightly stronger inhibitory effects on the tested pathogens, although the results are not statistically significant.

7C ) showed a weak trend to decrease with CF.

There is a weak trend for samples from limestone to show much lower Mg-concentrations but the data as collected are not amenable to statistical analysis.

Since downregulation of DNA repair genes has previously been observed in senescence [ 20 ], we were surprised to find only a weak trend toward downregulation of these genes in our dataset.

As shown in Supplementary Figures S5 and S6 , we find a weak trend for the general TFs and core promoter motifs to occur preferentially in CpG-rich promoters.

Namely, there was a weak trend toward an increase in the number of AAS types per clinical case.

Sulfate and ammonium also had positive correlations with ambient temperature, while BC showed a weak trend with temperature ( Figure S22 ).

pombe , we detected a weak trend in the opposite direction which probably resulted from a bias in the GC content.

Nevertheless, we observe a weak trend to higher T PEX rate in CD4+ GMTC compared to UTC, which could be further investigated.

3) There is a weak trend linking dedicated training to PhD level participants’ handling of likely non-compliant actions regarding data at the small effect size level (OR range: 1.68–1.73).

These factors probably explain why only a weak trend in the increase in concentration of rhamnitol was observed as the portion sizes increased, resulting in an insignificant t test statistic and a Spearmans co-efficient of only 0.18 (Fig. 1 b and Supplemental data 5a).

Based on a weak trend for lymphoid tumors for both genders combined, Steenland et al 25 presented a log cumulative exposure model with a 15-year lag for males as the “best fitting” model.

If anything, there was a weak trend toward reduced amount of intrapancreatic adipocytes/fat in PAT-ectomized mice possibly indicating that intrapancreatic adipocytes can arise from precursors that reside within PAT.

There is a weak trend that the marginal benefit of ERS decreases by 2050 versus 2040.

No significant difference in colonic IL-10 or IL-6 was detected between DSS and DSS + MetT treated mice, suggesting that MetT exhibited no immunomodulatory effects during DSS-induced colitis; although, there was a weak trend to decreased IL-6 in DSS + MetT, compared to DSS treated mice ( Fig. 8 b).

In contrast, the results of this study showed a weak trend of reduced f VASC in viable tumor tissue compared to necrosis and fibrosis.

Although Tier 1 envelope glycoproteins were highly cold-sensitive relative to the Tier 2 panel, there was only a weak trend between cold sensitivity and the level of global reactivity to inhibitor binding, as measured by the neutralization-to-binding index for the 4 inhibitors ( Figure S13A ).

One interesting result from this study is that patients with MSMP pneumonia showed increased total febrile days and a weak trend of increased febrile days after initiation of macrolides, over the 2 consecutive epidemics.

While correlation between SubC and MRI brain volumetry did not reach statistical significance for this small sub-cohort, there was a weak trend of lower ICV and GM volumes at higher SubC values for CLN2 R208X/R208X miniswine at 17-months-of-age (Supplementary Fig. 1 ).

An average reaction time in session one showed a weak trend of faster correct answers for the VR group, but the results did not reach significance (p > = 0.1).

If the dots were distributed randomly and not even a weak trend of increasing effort with decreasing SNRs was observed visually, the participant received re-instruction and a second practice test.

If anything, there was a weak trend that effort and prices were lower within the Channel Islands during the unlimited season, which reflects the fact that this unlimited time-period contained the months with the lowest GSI ( Fig 2 ).

From the observation of the variables in Table 4 , a weak trend of mildly elevated values is observed in the patients with positive culture in comparison with the patients with negative culture, but this comparison cannot be strongly supported.

With an alpha level of p = 0.10 the results revealed no statistical significance but a weak trend toward the external attentional focus yielding marginally better performance.
