“a weak trend”

In contrast, the higher dose of JZL184 did not restore microglial soma size, showing only a weak trend in the cortex and no improvement in the hippocampus, and unexpectedly increased microglial density in the cortex ( Figure 4 B,C).

No clear association was detected with age, and only a weak trend was observed with body mass.

It has been argued that this is only a weak trend that is true only on average ( Kisvárday et al., 1997 ).

Lines with two or more T-DNA inserts, and thus more copies of OsNAS2 , displayed only a weak trend for higher grain NA concentrations.

There was a weak trend suggesting that the combination of NEAR and SCIT improved functioning at 3 months follow-up.

As shown in Table 4 , the coefficients of EGR are insignificantly positive in columns (1), (3), (5), (7), (9), (11), and (13), but significantly negative in columns (2), (4), (6), (8), (10), (12), and (14), indicating that economic growth rate has reduced the probability of political promotion in the untreated samples, but has a weak trend to promote the probability of political promotion in the treated samples.

In our dataset, there was no support for a strong relationship between litter size and fetal sex, despite a weak trend towards a switch from female bias to male bias in juveniles as litter size increased.

However, although there is a weak trend towards relative hyperopia in the periphery (positive a ) as the axial myopia increases, the slope of the regression line is not significant.

In enteroids, a weak trend was observed for an increased ER of talinolol (P-gp substrate) with age.

Opioid use was significantly associated with an increased risk of falls, which was greatest in the first week of opioid exposure; however, only a weak trend was observed when restricted to falls without fracture (Web Figure 7).

There is a weak trend for luminance to attenuate imagery and visual working memory performance.

Although we found a weak trend of association between the injury level and ME activation in the contralateral precentral gyrus, relatively large ISCI samples with homogenous injury types should be considered to fully clarify the role of the injury level on the functional reorganization of both the MI and ME networks.

The most stable structure A has the smallest αHOMO–LUMO gap of 1.87 eV, while the next most stable structure B has a slightly larger band gap of 2.18 eV; after that, there is a weak trend of decreasing band gaps with decreased stabilities of the structures.

Also, when considering them separately, in the different experimental conditions, significancy levels are not reached in any of the considered experiments and there is only a weak trend for the digits (MW-U test, p(1&4 vs 2&3, GD) = 0.14, p(1&4 vs 2&3, GW) = 0.39, p(1&4 vs 2&3, GI) = 0.62).

(2000) , we only observed a weak trend in the left posterior inferior temporal cortex ( x = −58, y = −60, z = −14; Z score = 2.3) for English–Italian relative to Italian–English subjects.

The positive correlation suggests that synonymous mutants with predicted less stable RNA had a weak trend to have more activity ( Fig. 4a ).

(There was a weak trend of further stabilization from the second to third retelling for the Jason and Sarah stories, whereas the Robert stories had a lower correlation of surprisingness values between the second and third retelling than between the first and second retellings).

In resting-state BOLD fMRI, there was a weak trend for reduced resting-state functional connectivity of dopaminergic nuclei with forebrain regions, whose interpretation is difficult since the direction of BOLD changes cannot easily be interpreted.

By comparison, only a weak trend is evident in M s vs. d in ( Fig. 3c ), highlighting that γ is determined from the distribution function only and thus decorrelated from the scaling of the magnetization curve.

The underlying reason needs to be further studied, but interestingly, it aligns well with our Olink analysis, which shows reduced levels of circulating PD-L2 and a weak trend towards lower levels of PD-L1 upon propranolol treatment.

The results revealed that: (1) Uranium elements were mainly distributed inside the mining area and had a weak trend of migration to the outside.

A marginal 4-way interaction was present that in post-hoc analyses appeared to be primarily driven by a weak trend for a difference in the amount of interference (neutral vs. incongruent) for the attended auditory task only.

1B ) and the induction of vimentin was increased with a weak trend in the cancer cells treated with both cytokines ( Fig. 1C ).

5 , 6 , 9 In addition, a weak trend of monocyte HLA-DR recovery was associated with secondary infection and poor prognosis. 27 , 28 Moreover, monocyte PD-L1 overexpression was also recognised as an independent risk factor during septic shock. 7 PD-L1 on monocytes could bind to PD-1 on effector T cells and suppress T-cell receptor signalling, leading to T-cell anergy, apoptosis and exhaustion. 29 – 33 Thus, the results indicated that patients with sepsis had a dysregulated monocyte immune response, predisposing the host to a dangerous situation upon infection.

Moreover, the homoplasy index for all symbiotic genes showed a weak trend of departure from zero.
