“a possible trend”

Overall, our findings suggest a possible trend that quantitative CCTA and PCAT analysis may provide preliminary insights into residual ischemic risk in patients with a first AMI.

The experimental group showed an increase in HRV that approached statistical significance ( p = 0.058), suggesting a possible trend toward improved autonomic regulation, although this finding should be interpreted with caution.

A greater percentage of GT individuals required surgery compared to GG individuals, suggesting a possible trend for extended rehabilitation.

The difference in perceived stress approached significance ( t (167) = 1.82, p = 0.070, d = 0.24), suggesting a possible trend toward lower stress among long-term exercisers.

While exploratory analysis suggested a possible trend, the overall explanatory power was low.

Overall, these observations also indicated a possible trend toward higher alpha diversity and a phylogenetically distinct community in the AlphaCoV+AstV co-infected Ma_Frozen_4 relative to the AlphaCoV-only individual (Ma_Frozen_3) and virus-negative bats (Ma_Frozen_1/2); however, these patterns are purely descriptive and were not tested statistically.

This suggests a possible trend of starch granules being placed near the interphase water–air surrounding air bubbles.

Although the available evidence remains limited, the consistency of findings across studies suggests reductions in heart failure-related hospitalisations and a possible trend towards improved survival in patients with advanced heart failure managed with dialysis.

0.59 to 1.01; P = 0.055), suggesting a possible trend.

Consequently, the present findings suggest a possible trend rather than an immediate clinical concern, supporting regular follow-up to monitor sealant surface integrity, especially in children using sonic devices.

16 , 17 Our analysis indicates a possible trend toward improved efficacy with the addition of nivolumab in patients with low CPS, but definitive conclusions cannot be drawn.

Across these trials, the use of a tourniquet did not reduce thromboembolic events or systemic complications, but was associated with higher early thigh pain, quadriceps dysfunction, and a possible trend towards increased wound complications.

Although the MDF difference between conditions at the mid-point did not reach statistical significance, the effect approached the threshold ( p = 0.055), suggesting a possible trend.

Although there is a possible trend towards a higher potentiation of nAChR in female mice, this was not found to be of statistical significance (see Author response image 1 below).

Central memory (CD8 CM) and effector memory (CD8 EM) subsets were present at low frequencies across all conditions, though a slight increase in CD8 EM cells was noted in NK-treated animals (up to 1.6% in Mono NK and 1.3% in PFF NK), implying a possible trend toward enhanced memory activation with NK therapy ( Fig. 7 d ) .

When normalized to the POF area without antrum, the relative colored area was higher in eCG-treated cows, suggesting a possible trend toward improved follicular blood perfusion ( Fig. 3E ).

During the COVID−19 period, there appeared to be a marked increase in pain throughout the day compared to the pre-COVID-19 period; although this increase was not significant, it was interpreted as a possible trend.

61 However, tropical savannas can also show high primary productivity, 62 , 63 and other studies have shown a possible trend of increasing body size across multiple small mammals in relation to increased habitat fragmentation rather than connected forest habitat, although this might reflect an “island” isolation effect rather than being associated with changing habitat openness. 64 , 65 More research is required into the relationship between body size variation and habitat structure and productivity in small mammals, and into the ecosystem parameters of successive Caribbean Quaternary environments.

There is a possible trend for E. coli with highest values in September and lowest in December and an opposite pattern for ACC, but these are not statistically significant (Table 2 ).

Specifically, the concentrations of Fe and Mn have decreased over the eight years, suggesting a possible trend of ecological improvement in the reservoir or a gradual effectiveness of water management measures.

Recently, a randomized control trial by Gunst, demonstrated a possible trend towards favourable outcomes from liberal glucose control in its large cardiac surgical subgroup who had similarly high rates of diabetes of nearly 45% 21 .

Although baseline CH did not predict treatment response in this group, responders exhibited a numerical increase in CH (+0.94 mmHg), indicating a possible trend toward improved biomechanical damping capacity despite limited statistical significance.

Collectively, these observations suggest a possible trend whereby checkpoint activation resulting from ecDNA genomic instability coexists with cell cycle acceleration.

Although the odds ratio was below 1, suggesting a possible trend, this association did not reach statistical significance.

This relationship could indicate a possible trend toward insulin resistance in individuals with elevated BMI.
