The comparison of the RFS between the group treated with ablation therapy during conversion therapy and the liver resection group showed a slight trend toward a longer RFS in the liver resection group, but the difference was not significant (ablation group, 274 days [157–NA]; hepatectomy group, NA days [447–NA]; p = 0.09; Figure S3b ).
The survival time showed a slight trend towards superiority of S+CT+RT over CT+RT or S+CT, although these differences were not statistically significant because of the small sample ( P =0.73) ( Figure 1D ).
SXT-resistant spectra largely overlapped with susceptible isolates but displayed a slight trend toward divergence (Fig. 3 A).
We also detected a slight trend toward fewer patients with the TT genotype who were being treated with fewer than five antihypertensive drugs or who required no adjustment in the dosage of antihypertensive medication.
In Manchester, UK, climate injustice could be determined as more diverse communities, people living in rent, and poor quality housing make up for a greater heat risk, while for elderly and children only a slight trend is found [ 44 ].
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).
Against this background, a slight trend for DOM of definite determiners can be inferred.
To confirm that the trend was not exacerbated as more iterations are computed, the CC between the MPI-based implementation and the GPU-based implementation was computed over 600 iterations, showing a CC of 94% at 600 iterations and a slight trend correction. 4.2.2.
A slight trend towards increased HCASMC calcification was observed during dynamic flow, as depicted in Figure 2 This suggests that the effect of flow on BMP-4 expression levels is more pronounced than the influence of calcification.
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 was nevertheless observed along the first principal component, with controls predominantly associated with positive PC1 values.
Causes of product failure in the group of analyzers (10) and consumables (4) based on molecular biological diagnostics of infectious diseases were very heterogeneous even though a slight trend towards software errors was observed in the analyzer group (see Tables 4 , 5 and 6 ).
26 The ECSA of the Ag/C catalysts showed a slight trend in the order Ag/C Ketjen > Ag/C Vulcan > Ag/C Super P , which can be explained with their increasing average particle size of 4.4 nm, 4.7 nm, and 5.3 nm (Fig.
Despite a slight trend for increasing prevalence of HOA with age, we found no significant association with age for any of the methods.
There was a slight trend toward more late apoptosis with PFD treatment, but this did not reach statistical significance (p=0.283, p>0.05; Figure 6B ).
The current study was performed in a seven years’ time span, and a slight trend towards higher detection rates during the rainy season was observed.
QoL varied substantially between surgery types and there was a slight trend for physical health to deteriorate after surgery (Tables S8–S12 and Figure S2, http://links.lww.com/AOSO/A442 ).
At the very same dose, in the light phase food intake experiment, only a slight trend (if anything) towards increased food intake could be detected ( Figure 2 ).
We found a slight trend between positive MMP-28 immunostaining and better prognosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.
A slight trend toward more negative La/Sm values as well as enriched La/Yb values occurs in our data.
In alignment with our flow cytometry analysis ( Figure 5 D), no pronounced changes in normalized protein abundances were detected for markers of oligodendrocyte maturation or myelination ( Figure 5 F, top), but in half of the ABEmax-treated mice (n = 3) we observed a slight trend for increased abundance of various markers for astrocyte maturation (subset 1 in Figure 5 F).
Although the deviation rate in this study was not significantly lower when the NAVI drill was used, there was a slight trend toward a lower deviation rate.
Food intake showed a slight trend to be lower in Gpr12 KO mice when assessed simultaneously with energy expenditure ( Figure 2C ).
This finding indicates that although there is a slight trend toward a reverse influence, its effect is relatively weak compared to the significant impact of metabolic dysregulation on brain iron deposition and, consequently, on cognitive function (Table S5 ). 3.5.4.
No association was found between pneumococcal meningitis and geographical regions, although there was a slight trend towards a higher incidence of pneumococcal meningitis in Nampula, in the northern of Mozambique. 4.
