“a possible trend”

When compared with IFC, IC demonstrated an estimated effect of −0.27 (95% CrI, −1.37 to 0.86), indicating no statistically significant difference but suggesting a possible trend toward lower outcome risk.

Concerning the comparison between the C and T groups, although none of the genera passed the pre-specified false discovery rate threshold (q < 0.1) for significance, the genera Acinetobacter , Psychrobacter , and Bacteroides , underexpressed in the T group, showed relatively low p -values and consistent effect sizes, suggesting a possible trend toward group-specific differences. 3.2.

NIRS indicated a possible trend for improved muscle oxygen utilisation.

Although this difference was not statistically significant, it suggests a possible trend toward a higher prevalence in the MPI-positive subgroup.

This result diminishes a possible trend that phages infecting Gram-negative pathogens, amongst the analyzed group, adsorb to bacterial cells faster than phages infecting Gram-positive pathogens.

Among patients with a CYP3A5 *1 allele, only 3/6 (50%) achieved remission, suggesting a possible trend toward reduced response in functional allele carriers, particularly at lower doses.

This increase coincided with a significant shift in the diatom community, suggesting a possible trend of nutrient enrichment in the lake ecosystem.

In the case of rs1544410 ( BsmI ), no p -values reach 0.05, but the G allele’s p -value (0.0879) approaches significance, suggesting a possible trend toward lower 25(OH)D levels.

These findings suggest a possible trend toward increased mortality with elevated NLR after IVT, but the current evidence remains inconclusive.

The results suggest a possible trend of a decreasing bending modulus with an increasing APL, which could be explained by the idea that a higher APL may reduce the density of lipids in a given area, potentially weakening long-range interactions and lowering the energy required for deformation.

In contrast, the WP+M group exhibited a slight, non-significant increase compared with the WP group, indicating a possible trend toward greater microbial diversity after myricetin administration ( Fig. 6 B).

This indicates a possible trend toward an inverse relationship between Prevotella abundance and CRA presence in both HP and HAP, which warrants further dedicated analysis.

In the epilepsy model, although statistical significance was not reached, music exposure tended to shorten seizure latency and increase seizure severity, indicating a possible trend toward increased excitability, which should be interpreted cautiously given the small sample size.

Although this P -value slightly exceeds the conventional significance threshold ( P < .05), it approaches borderline significance, suggesting a possible trend toward small-study effects or publication bias.

Although the present study did not find a statistically significant difference, a possible trend of variation between groups was observed, with increased values in patients with tinnitus disorder.

However, one noteworthy observation was a weak negative association between manager’s experience and safety score (r s = − 0.198, p = 0.103), suggesting a possible trend where enterprises managed by less experienced supervisors may demonstrate slightly poorer safety conditions, though this relationship did not reach statistical significance.

Although the hazard ratios (HRs) for all microRNAs were greater than 1—suggesting a possible trend toward increased mortality risk with higher expression levels—their confidence intervals included 1, confirming the absence of statistical significance ( Table 5 ).

[ 51 ] concluded that there was no significant difference in seizure control efficacy between LEV and PB(with high heterogeneity), but reported that LEV was associated with significantly lower rates of hypotension, respiratory depression, and depressed sensorium, and a possible trend toward better short-term neurodevelopmental outcome—in only one RCT with pure cohorts.

The modest risk reductions observed with the ST1RE model, however, suggest a possible trend toward long‐term cardiovascular benefit.

Addition of UMEC to FF/VI resulted in improvements in trough FEV 1 and FEV 1 3 h post dose (post hoc analysis) in both subgroup populations (consistent across FF 100 μg- and FF 200 μg-containing therapies) and attack rates (FF 100 μg-containing therapies), with a possible trend for greater numerical improvements in these outcomes in patients without a history of severe attacks (prespecified analysis).

Although no clinical predictors of ICH were confirmed, we noted a possible trend in patients treated with the anti-VEGF agent bevacizumab.

A possible trend towards improved survival has been observed in some, although not all, recent reports [ 2 , 9 ].

The use of trypan blue and adrenaline is based on the specific requirements of each surgery and the individual preferences of each surgeon, with a possible trend toward more frequent use by less experienced surgeons.

Although serum β -carotene was not significantly associated with vitamin A intake ( p = 0.065), this borderline value indicates a possible trend that may achieve significance with a larger sample size or more precise dietary assessment.

The “Vestibulon” smartphone app, when integrated into vestibular rehabilitation, showed improvements across several outcomes, with patterns suggesting a possible trend favoring the app-assisted phase.
