“a slight trend”

A slight trend toward higher T1ρ values was observed in the apical segments for both automated and manual processing ( P < 0.001).

Subgroup Analysis Age stratification: Overall the age did not impact the outcome; however older patients aged > 60 years with positive ctDNA at baseline had a slight trend towards poor PFS compared to ctDNA negative patients [pHR = 1.62; 95%CI: 0.72–2.52, p < 0.001; I 2 = 71.28%], while younger patients (age ≤60 years) showed no difference ([pHR = 1.11; 95%CI: 0.39–1.84, p < 0.001; I 2 = 98.26%]; Supplementary Figure S3a ).

In multivariate analysis, male sex showed a slight trend towards increased transfusions (OR 1.6, p = 0.0116), as did age over 65 years (OR 1.6, p = 0.00676).

However, the AC estimates did not significantly differ between the two groups at T2 in any of the selected regions, albeit there was a slight trend in the RH_Cont_PFCl_3 (F (1,17) = 8.61, p = 0.02, uncorrected for multiple comparisons).

A slight trend toward increased “guideline-adherent screening” was observed as enterprises expanded their approaches (β = 0.11, p = 0.03).

Although the F-statistic suggests a slight trend towards a difference, it does not reach the conventional level of significance ( p < 0.05).

[ 3 ] found no differences in leptin levels and the number of active joints, although there was a slight trend in this relationship (r:0.10; p = 0.05).

Although the preoperative multivariate regression analysis did not reveal any significant factors associated with self-image, TL/L exhibited a slight trend ( p =0.053).

Additionally, the median number of “fixations” per word in the middle row of the screen did not differ significantly between ACHM under dark and controls under light conditions, with even a slight trend suggesting lower fixation number in the ACHM ( p = 0.058; U = 15; Figure 2C ).

In terms of physical function, although there was a slight trend towards lower BI scores ( P = 0.058) in the SP before surgery, our findings indicated a significant decline in ambulatory capacity and an increased reliance on assistive tools upon discharge among individuals with sarcopenia.

A slight trend was observed between SFA/TFA ratio (p = 0.059), VFA/TFA ratio (p = 0.059), VFA/SFA ratio (p = 0.059), and the occurrence of a CD relapse (Table 3 ).

When the gene expression was determined in fibrosis patients (n = 41) compared to the control group (n = 32), a slight trend towards upregulation in VEGFA (fold change = 1.56, p = 0.0617), CXCL8 (fold change = 1.65, p = 0.1009), and CDKN1A (fold change = 2.13, p = 0.0148) was observed, without being statistically significant with the exception of the CDKN1A gene.

A slight trend in the beta diversity index was observed in the microbiome profile on d 35 ( P = 0.064).

A competitive index was calculated by examining the ratio of the indicated strains at each time point compared to the ratio at time zero, which revealed a slight trend towards increased fitness of the hybC mutant by 5 h ( p = 0.065, Figure 6 B).

For grass-finished steers, only AQI was detected to have a positive association ( P < 0.001), while negative associations were detected as a slight trend for CO ( P = 0.069) for Ozone ( P = 0.010), PM 2.5 ( P < 0.001), and PM 10 ( P < 0.001; Table 4 ).

The demographic characteristics of the patient cohort are described in Table 1 ; both groups were comparable, albeit with a slight trend towards high blood pressure as a comorbidity in patients who were hospitalized during follow-up appointments ( p = 0.07).

Comorbidities Interplay and Adverse Event Rate Overall, patients with headaches did not differ from NONH in terms of comorbidities: neurological ( p = 0.67), gastrointestinal ( p = 0.54), psychiatric ( p = 0.20), ophthalmologic ( p = 0.95), and metabolic ( p = 0.31) fields were not significantly different among the two groups, while only a slight trend was found for cardiovascular comorbidity ( p = 0.07), which was more represented in patients with headaches.

Patients who completed their telemedicine visits and then withdrew their consent for the subsequent clinic/research visit were similar in their demographics and psychosocial patterns, with only a slight trend for a lower pain intensity (NRS) of those who elected not to pursue a subsequent clinic visit (31.2 vs 20.2 p=0.07).

From the 4th week of treatment, a slight trend towards a decreased clinical score was observed in the ATO-treated Fra2 TG mice as compared to the PBS group (median score [IQR]: 1 [1–2.75] vs. 2 [1–4]; p = 0.071) (Fig.

However, 60 mg/day CEP showed a slight trend (difference=-0.77 days, hazard ratio (HR) = 1.40, 95% CI 0.97–2.01, p = 0.072).

Whereas we saw no difference in the expression of Asf1a and Asf1b mRNAs, we see, cautiously interpreted, a slight trend of downregulation of H3.4 ( p = .077) and TSH2B ( p = .064) in seminaries versus normal testes.

The results of the correlation analysis between miR-542-3p and the genes under study indicate a slight trend towards a negative correlation between miR-542-3p and BMP7 in ectopic tissue (Rho = −0.358462, p = 0.078483) (see Figure 2 ).

Finally, a slight trend towards a lower decay time as a result of early life stress was present, regardless of genotype (F condition (1,93) = 3.11, p = 0.08) ( Fig. 3H ).

There was a slight trend of a genotype × LPS interaction in Ccl2 expression 24 h after LPS/saline injection ( P = 0.08).

In contrast to the above results, the characteristic “barking/whining” showed that there were more intact males than neutered males in which this occurred, but only with a slight trend (multinomial logistic regression; p = 0.08; Cramer’s V = 0.15).
