“a numerical trend”

Interestingly, although PTS changes did not differ significantly, both OWDTO groups showed a numerical trend toward greater slope increases.

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 .

However as with the unmatched cohort, there was a numerical trend towards improved disease control in the ablation group (41% achieving and maintaining CR vs. 32%).

Although this study did not demonstrate statistically significant differences in bacterial leakage among the tested materials, a numerical trend favoring ProRoot MTA and iRoot SP was observed.

In evaluating the ability of a wireless motility capsule to detect pharmacologic effects on gastric contractility, we found a numerical trend towards an increased number of contractions after administration of erythromycin and a decreased frequency of gastric contractions with the administration of morphine, particularly using 20 mmHg above baseline as the contraction threshold.

There was a numerical trend toward a smaller change in monthly migraine headache days after treatment discontinuation as the treatment duration increased.

While no statistically significant association was observed between starting dose and objective response rate (ORR) or clinical benefit rate (CBR), a numerical trend suggested that patients with shorter duration of response tended to have received lower initial doses [ 27 ].

An analysis from the year 2000 did not show a statistically significant connection between preoperative ECG with bundle branch block (BBB) and mortality, but there was a numerical trend in the LBBB group [ 7 ].

Conclusions In aSAH patients undergoing cranioplasty after DC, customized 3-D printed implants achieved significantly better anatomical restoration and showed a numerical trend toward fewer complications compared with autologous bone.

While a numerical trend suggested better survival with daily amphotericin compared to alternate-day dosing, the difference was not statistically significant in this cohort; conversely, statistically significant associations between treatment schedule and disability were observed, possibly reflecting complex interactions among dosing, cumulative exposure, supportive care and selection bias (sicker patients may have received alternate dosing) ( 5 , 8 , 9 ).

Although this difference was modest, it indicates a numerical trend toward shorter PACU stay among patients treated with acetaminophen; however, the difference was not statistically significant and should not be interpreted as evidence of clinically meaningful improvement in postoperative recovery efficiency.

difficile PCR positivity, and alternative antibiotic usage rates and a numerical trend to higher mortality and graft loss in the first year using the same multivariable model.

The main effect of text justification was not significant though there was a numerical trend suggesting that return-sweep landing position was closer to the left margin of a new line in the left-justified condition than the fully-justified condition.

However, the subgroup analysis of STEMI patients in PLATO showed only a numerical trend toward benefit without reaching statistical significance for the primary endpoint.

A numerical trend favoring birtamimab in the primary composite end point for the overall population was observed and was hypothesized to be driven by a treatment effect in the most advanced patients (Mayo stage IV).

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 ).

Shorter dosing interval regimens of denosumab showed a numerical trend for better inhibition of bone destruction, while significant differences among denosumab groups were not confirmed.

MAIC results were similar, also suggesting comparable rates of CR (OR 1.12; 95% CI 0.61–2.08) and CR + CRh (OR 0.83; 95% CI 0.46–1.50) between treatments; the adjusted point estimate indicated a numerical trend in favor of olutasidenib for CR and ivosidenib for CR + CRh but was not statistically significant.

However, inconsistent with this explanation, during training, target processing at the high-probability distractor location was not reliably impaired (although a numerical trend in this direction should be noted).

Yet, we observed a numerical trend to slightly higher LVEF values in the successful weaning group.

It is also of interest that presence of SE alleles was significantly associated with arthritis progression, whereas exposure to cigarette smoking was not, although smoking showed a numerical trend for association with disease progression.

Change in GLOESS from baseline to week 12 showed a numerical trend toward a treatment difference favoring secukinumab vs. placebo in all three clusters.

6 In contrast, FZOCUS‐1 suggested a numerical trend toward improved PFS with the combination therapy of fuzuloparib plus apatinib over fuzuloparib monotherapy in patients with HRP OC, extending the median PFS by 5.6 months (16.6 vs. 11.0 months), with an HR of 0.73 (95% CI, 0.45–1.19).

Although a numerical trend favoring barbed sutures over conventional sutures was noted with low heterogeneity, the difference was not statistically significant.

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%.
