“a slight trend”

A slight trend of decreasing hardness with increasing rate may have existed, but was within the uncertainty (scatter bars) of the experiments.

The mutants showed a slight trend towards increased sensitivity to H 2 O 2 compared to WT strains, which was not statistically significant, and no change in sensitivity to CHP compared to WT.

By contrast, the BN model showed a slight trend toward higher functionality for sources in areas with medium storage, and also slightly higher functionality for sources with higher groundwater productivity (Table 4 ).

However, when observed graphically, there appears to be a slight trend where higher levels of gene expression tend to be observed when vacuoles are present (Figure 3 B).

Although there is a slight trend suggesting the therapeutic effectiveness of taVNS compared to sham‐taVNS, statistical analysis reveals no significant difference (Table 2 ).

Despite a slight trend towards lower catheter adherent bacterial counts in Sbp-negative mutants derived from S . epidermidis 1457-M10 and 1585, the observed differences compared to their Sbp producing parent strains did not reach statistical significance.

Individual predictor analysis showed that year of study was associated with a slight trend toward an increased likelihood of antibiotic use without a physician’s recommendation (aOR = 1.21), although this association did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.091) ( Table 3 ).

p<0.10) between males and females was found, suggesting a slight trend towards males reporting more difficulty than females.

Sieck et al found a slight trend toward more hyphemas in anticoagulated patients, but the trend was not statistically significant. 7 Still, studies with larger samples are needed to clearly define the impact of anticoagulation therapy on the risk of excessive hyphema after KDB surgery.

Apart from the inhomogeneous sample #1, samples #3 and #5 show a slight trend towards decreasing mechanical properties in the direction of the filament edges, which indicates a particle depletion in this area [ 89 ].

These results indicate that the orally treated group showed a slight trend of weight loss compared to the intratracheally treated groups.

This review found that although there was a paucity of randomized controlled trials comparing needle sizes, there was a slight trend of the available data favoring the smaller 25 gauge needle.

A slight trend toward higher roughness was observed for the Ti surface; however, it was not significant compared to enamel and dentine ( Figure D).

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 median difference was +1dB(A); Quartiles: -3, 7 dB(A); 2.5-97.5 percentiles: -10, 18 dB(A) (n = 2,966) with a slight trend towards larger over-estimations at higher noise levels.

We observed a slight trend toward lower levels of IL-7 and IFN-α in the groups receiving unmodified and high-dose modified mRNA vaccine, which may suggest potential induction of TLR tolerance.

19 There was a slight trend toward increasing accumulation of radioactivity in the blood, tumors, and kidneys as the amount of cm09 injected was increased.

The protein content remained under 0.4 g/100 g extract in distilled water and under 0.2 g/100 g extract obtained in sea water, with a slight trend to increase with medium, high temperatures, and time studied.

Although a slight trend showing increased tau acetylation was observed during the first hour of PA exposure (Fig. 7 a), this effect was statistically significant at 24 h, when it was than twofold higher than that of the control (Fig. 7 b).

We found only a slight trend towards lower initial lesion area in the abdominal aorta, whereas no differences in the thoracic aorta were observed between all high-cholesterol fed animals ( Figure 3 ).

A slight trend was noted toward an increased risk for failure with advanced age, but it did not reach statistical significance ( P =0.063).

Logistic regression models confirm that the main risk factor for bubonic plague death was the geographical location of the cases and being older than 50 years, whereas sex only showcased a slight trend.

The reading time with and without CADe was 153.8 ± 126.2 s and 147.0 ± 99.6 s, respectively, showing a slight trend toward longer reading times with CADe.

There is a slight trend for increasing pulmonary allograft regurgitation with time.

Furthermore, we observed a slight trend of an increase of IV − memory CD8 + T cells binding the antigen tetramer after IN NDV-HXP-S administration ( Fig. 8 c).
