“showed a trend”

The antioxidant activity assessed by the ABTS assay showed a trend consistent with the DPPH result, with the highest Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity observed on day 7.

Both development time and peak time showed a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease, reaching their maximum values at 2%.

Serum creatinine levels also showed a trend toward partial attenuation following omega-3 FA treatment.

The POD activity of wheat in all groups showed a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease, with the peak value appearing on days 2–4 of storage ( Figure 5 H).

Intermediate leaves showed a trend toward increased CAT activity, not reaching statistical significance, along with minimal damage, suggesting effective detoxification, whereas adult leaves accumulated higher levels of Fe, Ni, and Pb, but displayed moderate stress responses.

While cisplatin reduced SOD and TAS levels, NAS treatment showed a trend toward biochemical recovery without reaching statistical significance in oxidative markers.

Meanwhile, the expression of SOCS3 showed a trend of feedback elevation in the high-activity subgroup.

Exploration of the relationship between individual theta connectivity increase and memory modulation showed a trend for a positive correlation in the anti-phase condition ( Fig. 4C ), suggesting that individuals for whom the stimulation increased functional connectivity may exhibit a larger cognitive benefit (Spearman's rho = 0.33, P = 0.084).

When compared with PAR2-WT mice, fasted PAR2-G37I mice showed a trend toward reduced GIP secretion, whereas both male and female fasted PAR2-R38E mice showed significantly reduced GIP levels ( Figure 1E ) without alterations in GLP-1 levels ( Figure 1F ).

Although the difference was not statistically significant, the MPCPC group showed a trend toward fewer complications, as no significant complications were observed, whereas one eye in the CWCPC group developed phthisis bulbi and two eyes had severe pain and uveitis.

While lower DDS showed a trend toward increased frailty, it did not reach statistical significance in this specific model after adjusting for all covariates.

In the normocytic anemia group, iron indicators that displayed a trend of positive correlation with EPO included STFR, UIBC, ferritin, and TIBC, whereas serum iron showed a trend of negative correlation with EPO ( Figure 2C ).

Maximum HR showed a trend toward higher values at T1 (T0: 167.5 ± 2.71 vs.

Regarding hippocampal subfield volumes, results showed a trend toward larger subiculum volume in patients before chemotherapy, indicating that cancer-related processes (i.e., either psychological or biological) may contribute to brain changes, notably through neuroinflammation processes.

Although the Immediate-iPCMT condition showed a trend towards improvement in student-educator relationship closeness and perceived student conduct problems, these pre- to post-intervention differences did not reach statistical significance.

The moderate group showed a trend toward higher alpha diversity and richness, whereas the mild and severe groups exhibited relatively lower values.

PDGF levels were lower in canine PL in this study, with mean values ranging from 321 to 402 pg./mL across cycles and showed a trend toward a decrease after 10 freeze–thaw cycles.

Notably, under STZ conditions, Module 1 showed a trend toward increased activity in Cluster 0, and Module 6 was similarly elevated in Cluster 1, indicating that these two modules are preferentially activated within distinct Müller substates during STZ-induced DR and may contribute to STZ-associated remodeling.

The correlation of ctDNA detection and OS showed a trend in a negative effect of ctDNA positivity on survival, although these findings did not reach statistical significance.

Moreover, the eye-tracking analysis showed a trend toward a smaller right-eye pupil diameter in the wood group, along with more stable fixation behavior, which may help participants maintain task focus and improve cognitive processing efficiency.

Linear cranial measurements also showed a trend of slightly larger dimensions in G. c. commissarisi , especially GLS, RW, and MB ( Table 3 ; supplementary Fig.

Additionally, the LE + RT group, although not statistically significant, showed a trend towards higher rates of positive margins and local recurrence in some studies, which should be interpreted with caution.

However, certain subtypes, particularly L747_A750delinsP, showed a trend toward a shorter PFS compared with the common E746_A750del subtype, although these differences did not reach statistical significance (12.3 months vs. 24.3 months; P = 0.100).

VTN expression was significantly higher in the S-II group, while COL1A1 and COL6A2 levels were lower in the S-I group and showed a trend toward lower expression in the S-III group, although the p-value was not significant.

Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that RV expression of the chemokine CCL2 and inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 showed a trend toward increased expression in the MCT3W group, with a dramatic upregulation observed in the MCT5W group compared with controls (Fig. 2 F).
