No significant correlation was found between p16 staining and survival (p = 0.577 Cox regression) and only a weak trend to better survival with elevated numbers of cells positive for beta-galactosidase (p = 0.161 Cox regression, p = 0.09 Logrank).

The complication rates showed an increasing trend in order to S-ReSC score groups (1.87% [14/75] vs. 28.6% [12/42] vs. 34.2% [13/38], respectively; p = 0.166).

From the downregulated genes of the EMT-core gene list, low FXYD3 expression showed a trend to poor overall survival of SCC patients (p = 0.17) and low expression of LAD1 (p = 0.00074), SLC7A5 (p = 0.0093) and SLPI (p = 0.043) significantly correlated with worse pCR of breast cancer patients.

There was no significant difference in the amount of chronic stress between the two groups of subjects in the preceding month, but patients with fibromyalgia showed a trend towards a greater exposure to chronic stress (20.00 versus 14.38, p = .17, see table 1 ).

Logistic regression analysis showed a trend towards boys being less likely to experience an ADR than girls, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.77 (95% CI 0.52, 1.12, P = 0.17) ( Table 3 ).

Logistic regression demonstrated a trend towards significance between worse kidney function and apoB (p = 0.17) as well as apoC-III (p = 0.067) in the fully adjusted model.

We did not find significant tumor PAI at these loci, though CDKN2A and IKZF1 SNPs showed a trend towards preferential selection of the risk allele (p = 0.17 and p = 0.23, respectively).

There was also a strong trend for a reduced proportion of CD4+ cells (p = 0.17) while CD8 and B220+ cell proportion did not change.

At mean age (and after controlling for the mentioned covariates) there was a nearly significant 0.2 cm increased head circumference in individuals classified as simplex (p = 0.17) over multiplex individuals.

Overall, a 26% absolute improvement of CNI levels in target range was observed, with an interesting trend towards better performance in the tablet-PC group (20% vs. 29%, p = 0.17).

Fertilization rates showed an increasing trend (F 2,12 = 2.03; p = 0.17) as the dose of E 2 increased ( Fig 6 ).

There was a weak trend interaction between limb and vision (p>0.17), and post-doc analysis indicated occlusion of vision had no effect on the tStartSS in dominant limb trials (p = 0.91), but it led to an increase (by 9%) in tStartSS in the non-dominant limb trials (p = 0.017).

We find that both fluency and originality in AUT showed a trend in correlation with their respective measures in the CFG (N = 57, r = 0.18, p = 0.17 and r = 0.2, p = 0.14 for fluency and originality respectively).

This was validated by a western blot analysis that showed a trend for reduced abundance of MGLL in HWL than in LWL AT PP ( P < 0.17, Fig 6B ).

Results for elevated depressive symptoms across all methodologies were null, however PSM results for the low cSES subgroup were trending towards significance (β = -0.16, 95%CI: (-0.38, 0.07), p = 0.171) ( Table 9 ).

Apart from a negative trend (U MW = 1277, Z = -1.363, p = 0.173) there was no significant link between Cx43 levels and the frequency of GCTB recurrences.

Upregulation of mir-29a-5p and downregulation of mir-187-3p in stressed animals indicated by sequencing was confirmed by qPCR (two-tailed one sample t-tests, mir-29a-5p: t (11) = 4.207, p = 0.0015; mir-187-3p: t (11) = 3.751, p = 0.0032) and the other two miRNAs, mir-199a-5p and mir-135b-3p, showed a statistical trend in the expected direction based on the sequencing results (two-tailed one sample t-tests- mir-199a-5p: t (11) = 1.457, p = 0.1732; mir-135b-3p: t (10) = 1.623, p = 0.1357).

Results Effects of LPS on IL-6 concentration LPS-treated mice showed a significant increase in IL-6 concentration in the serum ( Fig 3A ) (p = 0.0002) and an increasing trend in the supernatant of the brain tissue, i . e ., the cerebral cortex, including the ACC ( Fig 3B ) (p = 0.177).

None of the remaining contrasts approached significance (all p > 0.177).

Finally, we conducted a meta-regression with all the above moderators (domain, frame, recipient, outcome, design, publication status) which approached significance (k = 54, Q = 10.179, p = .179).

However post hoc analysis ( Fig 4C ) revealed that the PDGF-BB treated cells remained a statistical trend (p = 0.18).

The combination with T cells plus anti-4-1BB showed a trend towards increased survival over anti-4-1BB alone (80% survival; p = 0.18).

There was a slight trend in the same direction for median TTF in the low TS expression group to the high expression group (12.3 vs.11.7 mo, HR 0.82, 95% CI: 0.33 to 2.0, Log-rank p = 0.18) that did not reach statistical significance.

This study showed a weak trend of MetS risk in the HP seronegative group and moderate to high HP IgG concentration groups, with an OR of 1.84 and 95% CI of 0.77–5.50 ( p = 0.18).

While the following results are not statistically significant, analysis of randomly assigned upper size limits identified a slight trend of peak support at 40”, where the majority of participants displayed positive or neutral opinions ( P = 0.18, Fig 4b ).
