“a numerical trend”

The incidence showed a numerical trend toward fewer events in the Low LDL-C group, with 4 events (6.7%), compared to 8 events (13.3%) in the Non-Low LDL-C group ( Table 4 ).

Mepolizumab significantly improved nasal obstruction VAS score from baseline to weeks 49–52 compared with placebo, with a mean treatment difference of −1.43, and showed a numerical trend toward improvement in total endoscopic nasal polyp score at week 52, with a mean treatment difference of −0.43 ( 107 ).

Although the magnitude of further shrinkage did not differ significantly between groups, the cTRT cohort showed a numerical trend toward deeper radiologic response.

Although no significant differences were observed in HHF, a numerical trend favoured eplerenone.

The Relationship Between the Severity of Cervical Inflammation and Cytological Abnormalities and HPV When examining the relationship between the severity of cervical inflammation, cellular abnormalities, and HPV carriage, a numerical trend toward higher rates of abnormal cytology with increasing inflammatory severity was observed; however, this association did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.159).

ΔEF did not differ significantly between groups, although maneuver-tested patients showed a numerical trend toward higher improvement compared with No maneuvers.

Despite a numerical trend toward slightly lower survival in the prior MI group, confidence intervals overlapped at all time points, and no statistically significant difference was observed.

Although early ablation was not associated with improved survival or complete suppression of arrhythmic events, it achieved comparable major clinical outcomes and showed a numerical trend towards lower treatment-related morbidity and healthcare utilization.

Although between-regimen differences were not statistically significant, mepolizumab 300 mg showed a numerical trend toward earlier glucocorticoid sparing (e.g., higher GC-free rates and fewer patients on higher GC doses at intermediate visits), which may reflect its preferential use in patients with systemic disease and its intended role in systemic disease management ( 6 , 7 ).

Tenecteplase showed a numerical trend toward benefit (OR 1.33; 95% CrI 0.98–1.78) but did not reach statistical significance.

While RVEF showed a numerical trend toward improvement, it did not reach statistical significance, possibly due to interindividual variability or the relatively short intervention duration.

An exploratory analysis suggested a numerical trend towards a higher MPR rate in patients with PD-L1 CPS ≥ 20 (57.1%, 4/7, 95%CI: 0.18–0.90) compared to those with CPS < 20 (22.2%, 2/9, 95%CI: 0.03–0.60).

0.05 ≤ p < 0.15 was regarded as a numerical trend. 3.

Nevertheless, a numerical trend favoring DAPT was observed, with an approximately 10% higher rate of excellent functional outcome (79.5% vs. 69.6%).

19.80 months, p = 0.106), despite a numerical trend toward worse PFS in the low BMI group.

Pulse rate remained largely unchanged with all three drugs, although azelnidipine demonstrated a numerical trend toward greater pulse-rate reduction.

Although the incidence of anastomotic leakage did not differ significantly among groups ( p = 0.272), a numerical trend was noted: the rate was highest in SSA (5.8%, 4/69), lowest in TCA (0%, 0/36), and intermediate in CAA (2.4%, 1/42).

While the RBANS findings suggest a numerical trend, the absence of statistical significance and potential baseline confounding suggest the results are best viewed as exploratory and hypothesis-generating .

Although the link between CR and MACE was not statistically significant, a numerical trend toward fewer MACE events in CR participants was observed—supporting earlier studies showing a 20–30% reduction in MACE and mortality with CR.

The intermittent intravenous (iIV) arm showed a numerical trend toward all-cause mortality without reaching statistical significance (low evidence quality) compared with the continuous intravenous (cIV) arm (RR: 1.36, 95% CI: 0.96–1.94, p = 0.08).

A numerical trend toward increased BW was also observed in the R22 group on days 21 and 40.

This relates to earlier analyses of mean RTs, in which priming did not reach significance in any condition and was limited to a numerical trend for the 60 ms duration ( Kiefer et al. 2023b ).

A numerical trend toward higher cfa-miR-409-3p expression was observed in intact animals, while cfa-miR-4270 and cfa-miR-133a showed slightly elevated values in the spayed group; however, none of these differences reached statistical significance.

( 2024 ) similarly revealed no statistically significant difference between AR‐assisted and conventional navigation for single implants, despite a numerical trend favoring AR.

Conclusion Higher EGFR VAF was significantly associated with improved overall survival in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC treated with first-line osimertinib and showed a numerical trend toward longer progression-free survival.
