“a numerical trend”

Although a numerical trend toward higher response rates was observed among patients with intellectual disability, this did not reach statistical significance and should be interpreted cautiously.

While infants with severe brain injury (IVH ≥ III° and periventricular cysts) have been excluded from the study a numerical trend towards higher rates of IVH ≤ II° detected by MRI at term‐equivalent age in susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) was observed in the hsPDA group (22.7%) compared to the ntPDA (12.5%) and noPDA group (8.2%).

Although increasing uncontrolled risk factor burden was associated with a numerical trend toward higher AF recurrence, this did not reach statistical significance; this may reflect limited power, and the finding should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating rather than evidence of no clinically relevant gradient.

Because the paired difference for overall cancer detection did not reach statistical significance, this finding should be interpreted as a numerical trend rather than definitive evidence of superiority.

Consequently, only the PBM + OM group showed a numerical trend closer to baseline values after 48 h (−1.4%) and 72 h (−0.91%), while the PBM group also presented results close to baseline at 72 h (−0.76%).

A numerical trend toward longer PFS was observed among patients receiving SBRT during immunotherapy, although the differences were not statistically significant.

Three key findings emerged (I) repeated G-CSF dosing induced a substantially stronger and more consistent neutrophil response in the peripheral blood, bone marrow than single-dose regimens, with a numerical trend towards increased neutrophil abundance also observed in the spleen, (II) single-dose administration resulted in only minor or non-significant effects regardless of the dose; and (III) neutrophil expansion occurred without evidence of systemic inflammation, as indicated by stable plasma NE activity and cfDNA levels across all groups. 3.2.

Kaplan–Meier analysis showed no statistically significant difference in TTP between PD-L1 groups (log-rank p = 0.094), although a numerical trend toward shorter TTP was observed in patients with PD-L1 ≥50%.

In contrast, serum PNX-20 levels did not differ significantly among the AMH categories ( p = 0.305), despite a numerical trend toward higher levels in the very low AMH group.

35.3%) is consistent with the 1-year real-world comparative data of Cho et al., who found no statistically significant difference in polyp response between faricimab-svoa and aflibercept, although a numerical trend toward higher polyp closure with faricimab-svoa was noted [ 29 ].

Notably, tumor size, surgical margin width, and completeness of excision were not significantly associated with recurrence, despite the fact that incompletely excised tumors showed a numerical trend toward higher recurrence.

At the final follow-up, patients with Ki-67 ≥ 15% displayed a numerical trend toward a higher rate of structural incomplete response, though this did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.123).

The within-subject microbiological data (n = 10) suggested a numerical trend toward greater bacterial-burden reduction with HACCP’ER than with benzalkonium chloride, but the between-arm difference did not reach statistical significance.

Collapsing across emotional conditions, there was a numerical trend towards the expected greater proportion of participants using complex strategies in the FB condition (59.3%) than in the PA condition (46.5%), though the difference did not reach significance, χ 2 (1) = 2.823, p = 0.093.

2 ) did not identify any clinical or pathological subgroup that consistently benefited substantially from anlotinib-based NAT in the tpCR or RCB 0/I rate, despite a numerical trend favoring node-negative (N0) patients.

In terms of tumor response, T-DXd showed a numerical trend toward being the top-ranked intervention (SUCRA: ORR 0.819; DCR 0.803; CBR 0.833) and demonstrated statistically significant improvements compared to TPC in both DCR (RR =0.32; 95% CI: 0.11–0.88) and CBR (RR =3.60; 95% CI: 1.06–12.60); while T-DXd also numerically outperformed SG in ORR, DCR, and CBR, these pairwise differences were not statistically significant ( Figure 6 and Table 2 ).

The DAB-positive area did not reach statistical significance, though TNBC samples showed a numerical trend toward higher values compared with HER2+ and Luminal tumors (Fig. 3 ).

In this post hoc, exploratory evaluation, there appeared to be a numerical trend toward deeper responses in the Q4W cohort, with several patients maintaining tumor shrinkage for an extended period.

Regarding postoperative complications and mortality, we found no statistically significant differences between the early and late surgery groups, despite a numerical trend of more complications in the late group.

Gemini 2.5 Flash showed a numerical trend toward slightly higher overall performance, with higher mean scores for accuracy and completeness (accuracy: 4.60 ± 0.56; completeness: 4.70 ± 0.47).

No significant differences were observed between the Resident and Student subgroups (χ2=1.92, df = 1, P = 0.1656), though a numerical trend suggested potentially larger effects in Residents.

When young and older adult participants were asked to study one aspect of a word-font pairing and were then tested on the opposing feature (e.g., studying the font and then taking a word test), a numerical trend in performance favoring older adults was observed (Naveh-Benjamin, 2000 ).

Although the log-rank p-value was 0.164 and therefore not statistically significant, a numerical trend favoring neoadjuvant CRT was observed.

This suggests that while a favorable score is associated with a numerical trend toward better prognosis in secondary outcomes, the difference between the survival curves is not statistically robust enough in this specific cohort to reject the null hypothesis of equality. 4.

However, a numerical trend toward improved clinical pregnancy and live birth outcomes was observed in the natural cycle.
