“a slight trend”

A slight trend toward reduced quantification precision was observed for larger loading amounts for the longest, 240 min gradient ( Figure 6 A).

However, there was a slight trend toward higher melatonin levels in the sleep condition.

The 2007 Cochrane meta-analysis showed a slight trend toward effective treatment using paromomycin, but the overall relative risks for decreased stool frequency and oocyte clearance were modest and not statistically significant. 25 Compared with randomized trials for nitazoxanide, paromomycin therapy had appreciably more disappointing and contradictory results.

Only in the case of harvesting tools does there seem to be a slight trend towards them being more abundant among males ( Table 15 ).

Indeed, different studies have shown similar percentage of eyes with clinically significant PCO and laser capsulotomy, with only a slight trend to obtain lower values for the Nd : YAG capsulotomy rate.

The full-length VCAM1 shows a slight trend to accumulate in the glia cells without reaching statistical significance ( Fig 3A and C ).

In fact, we observed a slight trend to a stiffer ECM in Marfan mice, which is in accordance with data reported in the aortic wall [ 18 , 45 ].

There was an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, with a slight trend towards softer stools due to yacon syrup [ 22 ].

Afterward, the proportion of neonatal CDR3 remains relatively stable with a slight trend downward with advancing age ( Figure S7 B).

Although their study suggested a slight trend toward greater dermal and subcutaneous thickness on the subcutaneous side, these differences did not reach statistical significance, likely due to the small sample size ( n = 6).

Despite a slight trend for lower plateau-peak ratios with isobutylamine, there was no significant difference between the two genotypes for both stimuli in any of these parameters (unpaired t-test: P = 0.09–0.93).

In contrast, CRT ( n = 241) seemed to provide only a slight trend towards an OS advantage in R1-resected pts, emerging as a positive difference in median values of 3.5 months, as well as non-significant HR of 0.72 and 2-y and 5-y rates (30% vs. 19% with observation, and 18% vs. 8%, respectively).

The only diabetic model-specific phenomenon was a slight trend decrease in BG values into week 2, which we attribute to NHPs becoming more comfortable with a) breathable jackets zippered over to protect the CGMs and b) dedicated vet technicians, resulting in improved dispensation of daily insulin, control of normoglycemia and reduced diabetic state over time ( Supplemental Figure S9 ).

Comparing this data with that obtained for 2-Cl-BPT (red curve) and 2-Br-BPT (green curve), a slight trend towards a more effective cross-linking of 2-Br-BPT seems to be visible, despite the noise present in the XPS raw data ( Figure 3a ).

Although there was a slight trend toward greater radiosensitivity when very high levels of mutant Artemis were expressed in normal cells, it was not statistically significant ( Figure 3 C).

Recently, an update of the 5-year results showed only a slight trend towards an increase in functional-, structural- or biological abnormalities in the no-radioiodine group compared with the 3-year results with an absolute margin of 2.4% (3-year follow-up: event rate: 4.4% (16/367), 5-year follow-up event rate: 6.8% (24/354)) [ 11 ].

They reported a slight trend toward posterior disc positioning, which they attributed to differences in data acquisition between pre- and post-treatment assessments: at 6 months, in both groups (control and treated), the disc appeared to have shifted to a more posterior position, approaching the ideal “12 o’clock” reference.

The death events were 15.2% in the LEN plus PEM plus TACE group and 5.2% in the TACE alone group, again with a slight trend toward more death events in the combination therapy group at this final analysis for PFS.

In the USA, a study of 624 patients with SII receiving different treatment regimens showed no conclusive (statistically significant) results regarding the aggressive use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy, although there seemed to be a slight trend toward shorter hospital stays in those who underwent more than one procedure during their hospital stays.

When examining the brain parenchyma (cortex and brainstem), we only noted a significant decrease in B cells, a slight trend toward increase in frequency and absolute number of neutrophils, and no difference in frequencies or absolute number of monocytes ( Supplemental Figure 4 and Supplemental Figure 5 , B–H).

However, NK cells showed a slight trend towards increased displacement, with an average of 17.19 μm compared to 15.36 μm for T cells (Figure 3E ).

In our data, there was a slight trend toward reproductively active mice having higher final H. polygyrus burdens compared to non-reproductive mice, which also depended on anthelmintic treatment status ( Fig. 3 ).

From a possible maximum score of 75 related to problem-oriented coping, the mean score was 51.3 ± 8.4, and from a possible maximum score of 125 related to emotion-oriented coping, the mean score was 68.2 ± 9.7, showing a slight trend to more common use of problem-oriented coping.

However, a slight trend of increased alpha diversity was observed in the C3M group, followed by a return to NC group levels in the C6M group.

[ 21 ] show a slight trend favoring arthroscopic surgery with an SMD of 0.31, but the CI crosses zero, indicating that this difference is not statistically significant.
