“a slight trend”

In summary, overall there was a slight trend downwards in mean and median pain scores 1 week post-procedure as compared to pre-procedural baseline (Fig. 1 ).

However, a slight trend towards increased values was observed in the treated groups (Fig. 1 ).

Overall, there was a slight trend for participants to more frequently approach problems in an insightful manner; insight ratings ( M = 2.60, SD = 0.48) differed marginally significantly from the hypothetical scale midpoint t (69) = 1.82, p = 0.07.

Analysis of the most common procedure type, “ carpal tunnel release ,” revealed a slight trend toward decreasing frequency, though this was not significant.

Considering the secondary outcomes, we found a slight trend towards a higher risk of experiencing an SSI within 30 days after surgery among patients in the antibacterial suture arm than in the control arm.

Furthermore, statistical analyses showed a slight trend for the presence of AI at 5q21 correlating with the poor response to chemotherapy, in agreement with a trend towards a worse prognosis in case of AI at 5q21.

In our experimental setup there were no significant differences regarding vessel diameter, plaque diameter and grade of stenoses between the different heart rates (50, 70, 90) although we found a slight trend to larger deviations of the measured parameters comparing the 50 and the 90 bpm data (Table 2 ).

Figure 5 B displays no significant relation between cluster size and resulting forward velocity, although there is a slight trend of larger clusters moving faster, but no direct correlation to the magnetic content.

In order to test whether this was a reflection of a general increase in histone density, we further examined the density of histone H2B but did not find a reproducible increase in the RTT patient samples on any loci, and a slight trend toward higher histone H2B occupancy did not reach statistical significance ( Fig. 3B ).

Only a slight trend toward a lower STAT5 phosphorylation was observed in PHA stimulated cells after Tofa treatment, while STAT6 phosphorylation didn't show appreciable changes.

Year was relatively less important (RVI = 0.27), although there was a slight trend towards higher harvest success over time (Additional file 1 : Table S2, Fig.

Asymptomatic carriers may exhibit significant thickening of the temporal RNFL compared to age-matched controls, with a slight trend towards inferior RNFL thickening in male carriers ( 21 ).

Conversely, α-cell percentage did not decrease; in fact, a slight trend towards an increase in α-cell percentage was observed in β-AdarKO mice.

The positive pressure difference during the open phase of the valve was consistently below 5 mmHg, and a slight trend to increasing ΔP with increasing pressure ranges could be detected ( Fig. 7 C).

At lower concentrations (25–100 μM), there was a slight trend toward stimulation in intact‐coupled mitochondria.

Nevertheless, there was a slight trend toward a decrease in sCD40L levels in endometriosis patients.

Curiously, the D/P ratio is not significantly higher for U->P changes relative to the no change class in either lineage, although there is a slight trend in that direction in both species.

In patients with SP-MPE, there was a slight trend towards improved PFS with adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy) compared to a wait-and-see approach.

By contrast, stimulation of hiPSCdNs with the GPCR ligands, serotonin (5-HT), and cicaprost (Cic, more stable prostacyclin PGI2 analogue) resulted in no significant pRII responses, although a slight trend towards increased responses was detectable after longer maturation times (Figs. 5 C and D).

Overall, there was a slight trend toward a more notable CXCR4 upregulation by Dexamethasone than by Prednisolone in the responding cell lines (Daudi, OCI-LY1, SUDHL-4, -5 and -6).

Nearly half (48.2%) of these patients presented within 2 years of pouch construction, with a slight trend toward reduced incidence as more time had elapsed after surgery.

Still, the study showed a slight trend in favor of IMRT with the 7-year freedom from ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence value found to be 95% for IMRT and 90% for conventional radiotherapy.

Although a slight trend toward slower CPD removal was observed following SAM treatment, this effect did not reach statistical significance.

8 Overall, early revision rates in rTSA and stemless aTSA are similar whereas there is a slight trend towards a higher revision rate in stemmed aTSA at 5 years which is more evident in type A glenoids with the highest CPR at 7.5%.

X7732 showed a slight trend to reduce Erk1/2 phosphorylation while X7625 did not modulate Erk phosphorylation.
