“a slight trend”

Body weight Both control and lesion groups exhibited a slight trend of weight gain during the 4 days of saline injection (control: 0.155 ± 0.213% BW, lesion: 0.340 ± 0.388% BW).

There was a slight trend towards more pronounced day-night differences in non-night shift workers, with slightly higher daytime and slightly lower night-time blood pressure values as compared to night shift workers.

Although PD showed a slight trend toward lower emotional burden compared to HD, the difference was not statistically significant.

Results of our analysis demonstrated that there is a slight trend for lower CL/F when CL CR is reduced in renally impaired subjects or when the Child–Pugh score is increased in hepatically impaired subjects.

While the Aβ group had almost similar levels of NF-κB p65 compared to controls, a slight trend of decrease in the inflammatory marker levels was observed after KH ingestion.

Although there was a slight trend towards an increase in spine size, on average we did not detect a significant change in spine structure intensity following whisker stimulation when compared to control ( Fig. 3a, e , Supplementary Fig. 3a, b ).

3 ), there was a slight trend in which females seem to groom their male mating partners more during and after the mating season (see ESM ).

But there was a slight trend indicating a higher yield with decreasing TFA molarity.

Figure 3 shows, for example, a comparison of the data in Tables 3 and 4 , pointing only to a slight trend for better results in protocols using gemcitabine compared to other drugs.

In the experience by Meng et al [ 10 ], the OS showed a slight trend towards superiority of SBRT with chemo over SBRT without chemo, although these differences were not statistically significant ( p = 0.35).

In detail, the InfectoFos ® FOS in elastomer is stable for 5 days from its preparation at a storage temperature of 4 °C, since a slight trend in increasing concentrations of FOS solutions during this study was observed.

However, for patients with thymic carcinomas, there was a slight trend toward improved OS with adjuvant chemotherapy, albeit with very low certainty.

By contrast, no significant trend is observed for highly expressed genes using the microarray platform and only a slight trend is induced for genes with low expression.

Prophylactic treatment with 2 g/kg of IVIg ip 18 hours before the induction of acid-induced ALI showed a slight trend towards an attenuated injury response in that the decline in SaO 2 subsequent to acid instillation was largely blocked, yet no significant differences in peak inspiratory pressures or mouse W/D lung weight ratios were detectable between saline and IVIg pretreated mice ( Figure 8 ).

Although there was a slight trend toward increased cyclin D1 levels in APP tg animals, the differences were not significant, and no differences were detected in CDK2 levels between the groups (Supplementary Figures 3A, G, and H).

The analysis of cytokine production showed that the T cells deriving from the AH were able to produce a cytokine panel that was similar to that found in the PB; however, there was a slight trend towards an increase in the frequency of CD161+IFN-ɣ+-producing T-helper cells among the CD3+CD8- T cells (4.8% 2.12 CI in PB vs. 7.4% 4.17 CI in AH; p = not significant).

While there was a slight trend for a positive correlation between total reservoir size and time of ART initiation after birth, these trends were not significant ( Figure 1 L).

Surgical technique The distinction between repair (14.2%) and reconstruction (11.0%) of the torn cruciate ligaments showed a slight trend toward lower rates in the reconstruction group (Table 3 ).

A slight trend toward reducing the weight of upper limb devices over the years was observed, but there is insufficient statistical evidence to support this claim.

M45-specific cells were stably maintained at low levels well into senescence with a slight trend for increasing numbers at very old age ( Figure 2D, F ) suggesting that these cells and their naïve precursors were not exhausted.

Since 4 October 2019, the surface of region A-1 had begun to show a slight trend of subsidence, and then the funnel-shaped subsidence began to gradually form.

Despite these results, a slight trend was noticed in the oviposition activity of T. absoluta females exposed to leaves treated with the wettable powder formulations.

Considering the number of spawned eggs, it is important to also note a slight trend towards a lower proportion of spawning female gonads with high DEHP concentration, which could also have affected the egg number.

1A ) revealed a clear differentiation between controls and cases with a slight trend towards recovery gradually over time for a sub-group of individuals.
