Native mean T1 values presented a significant and positive correlation with interstitial histological fibrosis fraction (r = 0.71, P = 0.03) but not with total histological fibrosis (r = 0.28, P = 0.46) and a negative trend of correlation with fatty fibrosis (r = -0.53, P = 0.14) and fat histological fraction (r = -0.60, P = 0.09) ( Fig 3E and 3H ).

For conifers, we observed a negative trend of the proportion of lichen colonization (r 2 = 0.79, p = 0.14; multivariate regression analysis) with leaf surface texture complexity ( Fig 2B ).

For the patient group, the mean and the standard error of the mean for this difference were 1.6 μV and 1.0 μV, respectively, which was close to being significant ( t = 1.6, p = 0.14, df = 16).

We assessed the within-individual diversity ( i.e., alpha diversity), and found similar observed ASVs diversity between TB, and NTM-LD patients, and marginally significant greater expected richness of ASVs in TB-patients ( Fig 2A ) (Wilcoxon rank sum test, corrected p values: p = 0,14; p = 0.07, for Shannon, and Chao1, respectively).

Chi-square tests of independence showed that the success rate was not dependent on the age or gender, but the patients showed a trend of lower success rate (p = 0.14) compared to healthy controls.

The group with stage IB1 tumors >2 cm had statistically deeper cervical stromal invasion (9.99±5.04 mm, p<0.001, Kruskal-Wallis test), higher incidences of LVSI (45.3%, p = 0.002, chi-square test), and greater lymph node metastasis (24.2%, p = 0.002, chi-square test) compared to the other 2 groups (stage IA2 and stage IB tumors ≤2 cm).The group with stage IB1 tumors >2 cm showed a trend toward a higher incidence of parametrial invasion (9.5%, p = 0.14, chi-square test) compared with the other two groups (stage IA2 tumor, 0%;stage IB1 tumor ≤2 cm, 4%), though it did not reach statistical significance.

Overall Gprc5b levels, determined with a primer set (A/a) that amplifies a region common to both Gprc5b_v1 and v2, showed a trend towards an increase on day 17 (1.8 fold; p = 0.14) after normalization to beta-actin levels ( Fig. 4A , 3 rd panel from top ).

A main effects MLR model identified age (p = 0.0001), center (p = 0.0004), and melanoma subtype (p = 0.014) as significantly influencing BRAFV600 mutation probability; ultraviolet (UV) exposure showed a statistical trend (p = 0.1419).

The same pattern is seen when three participants who detected the manipulation were excluded, with the exception that the intercept for the liking ratings in Experiment 1b now failed to reach marginal significance ( t = 1.519, p = .142).

In addition, analysis using the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic suggested borderline significance (p = 0.143).

In the lungs, there was a mild trend toward increased ACE2 mRNA expression at the end of the dark phase of the LD cycle in E2-treated rats compared to the control (t-test, P = 0.145).

PBMC comparison showed a trend to greater differences in SCR when the patients were off-ART (p = 0.146) ( Figure 1b ).

In addition, a weak trend towards an inverse correlation was observed between HOMA-β and TAC-AUC ( P = 0.1474, R^2 = 0.0039) ( Fig 5B ), whereas there was no correlation between ISI and TAC-AUC ( P = 0.8939).

Hemoptysis positive patients showed a trend of a larger total growth of the pulmonary artery during follow up (3.82±2.77 mm vs. 2.68±2.81, p = 0.149) and a trend of a faster growth per month (0.156±0.146 vs. 0.063±0.151, p = 0.107).

There was a weak trend (F 1,42 = 2.16, P = 0.149) towards lower 15 N loss from columns from extensively managed grasslands ( Fig. 4A ), but the total amount of added 15 N leached did not differ between management types.

At baseline, diacerein-treated participants showed a trend (P < 0.15) toward lower systolic and diastolic blood pressures compared to placebo participants, which is consistent with more frequent use of ACE inhibitors.

However, the difference was statistically significant only at 1 hr after spinoculation ( p <0.005); differences fell short of significance at 2 and 4 hr ( p = 0.15 and p = 0.053, respectively).

This finding was almost significant (p = 0.15).

A possible trend was found for higher diversity being associated with greater risk of virologic failure in adults (OR = 2.2 per one percent APD increase, 95% CI = [0.8, 7.2]; p = 0.15).

Notably, total serum RNA level had a decreasing trend in the S-R group at day 3 ( P = 0.15) and day 7 ( P = 0.09) postoperatively (n = 5) ( Fig 3 ).

The left-ventricular anterior wall thickness (LVAWs; 0.39 ± 0.02 mm compared with 0.48 ± 0.02 mm, p = 0.02) was lower ( Fig 2D ), while internal diameter (LVIDs; 1.37 ± 0.04 mm compared with 1.04 ± 0.12 mm, p = 0.0220) at systole, was significantly higher, as was the left-ventricular internal diameter at diastole (LVIDd), which showed a trend towards being increased (1.76 ± 0.03 mm compared with 1.61 ± 0.10 mm, p = 0.15) ( Fig 2E and 2F ).

On the target gene protein expression level, STAT3-MB + UTMC-treated tumors exhibited a strong trend towards decreased expression of Bcl-xL (normalized by GAPDH) (36.9±25.7%) compared to the mutant control (94.5±50.1%, p <0.15).

AHA status showed a trend of association (p = 0.15).

In the meantime, hemiparkinsonian rats treated with intranasal SP-GNP (p = 0.001) and intravenous SP-GNP (p = 0.02) showed a significant decrease on apomorphine-induced rotation than hemiparkinsonian rats with intranasal PBS solution treatment, while those with intranasal SP solution and blank GNP treatment showed a trend of improvement without statistical significance (p = 0.15 and p = 0.35 respectively).

PCI vs CABG showed a trend for less dementia with PCI (HR = 0.74; p = 0.15).
