“a slight trend”

There was a slight trend towards lower preoperative depression score in the group of “Very Satisfied” patients, but the difference was only minor and non-significant.

Because this intervention consisted of a drinking supplementation, we measured the drinking volumes, observing just a slight trend of an increase in the drinking of 1C-MIM water compared to control standard water ( Figure S6 B).

A slight trend towards a decrease in both systolic and diastolic mean blood pressure was observed from the baseline visit to the 3-month visit at the 1000 hours time point for patients from the BBFC group (5.3 mm Hg systolic decrease and 2.8 mm Hg diastolic decrease) and the brimonidine group (3.8 mm Hg systolic decrease and 1.9 mm Hg diastolic decrease).

Although we observed a slight trend for increased size of Ang-2/CD31 high brain metastasis, we did not observe statistical significance ( Figure 5C ).

Comparing the different 3D structural parameters, we observed a slight trend towards larger median equivalent diameter and median volume for both Bowman's capsule and glomerulus in the 5-day trauma group (Figures 6(a) and 6(c) ), whereas the sphericity of the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus was the largest in the 24 h trauma group compared to the other groups ( Figure 6(b) ).

There was a slight trend of correlation between high cholesterol and high triglycerides. 3.

However, a slight trend was observed: as the average PM 2.5 concentration increases, the difference between the corrected PurpleAir and E-Sampler measurements tends to become more negative, suggesting an increasing negative bias at higher concentration levels.

Our findings indicate that human predictions do not outperform our model’s predictions; in fact, there was a slight trend suggesting that our model might predict outcomes more accurately.

This behavior was especially more characteristic at low O/S values, with a slight trend of antithixotropic behavior toward high values of O/S ratio in which the proportion of the oil phase was more expressive.

carolinensis was not more GC3-eroded than its squamate relatives, and even showed a slight trend toward increased GC3-heterogeneity in its terminal branch.

Finally, a slight trend has been observed here towards successively increasing risk of overweight in low birth weight subjects with increasing age, i.e. , in adulthood ( Table 1 ).

Further, there seems to be a slight trend of underestimation for higher abundance haplotypes with Kallisto.

Additionally, although no significant correlation was found between IT and other parameters (Table S2 ), a slight trend was found between IT and apparent viscosity.

Although the values for the individual FRET efficiencies are comparable between samples there does seem to be a slight trend resulting in a reduced measure of ECY in presence of YR and CR/YR, an enhancement of ECR in presence of CY/YR (apparent in Fig. 1A as well) and a reduction of YR when in the presence of CR and CY/CR.

The reduction of ChAT-immunoreactive neurons in the nucleus ambiguus of the five month old tg MSA animals in this study, corroborates previous findings in the same model showing a slight trend towards reduction at 2 months and a marked decrease at 12 months of age.

Kranabetter [ 60 ] showed a slight trend of an increase in mineral soil C (until 50 cm depth) along a productivity gradient in Canadian boreal forests.

After 4 weeks of HFD, we detected a slight trend towards a higher number of myeloid cells in the hypothalamus, while after 8 weeks of HFD, a time point when the mice exhibit a 50 % increase in body weight and elevated serum leptin level (Supplementary figure 1a–d), the number of Iba1+ cells was significantly higher than in chow-fed mice (Fig. 1 a, c).

Overall, there was no statistically significant difference in OS between patients exhibiting lower or higher intensity of EIF4G2 protein staining, although there was a slight trend towards lower survival in the low expressers (Supplementary Fig.

In Asia, the reduction was predicted to occur in the southern Himalayan regions of northern India, but with a slight trend of expansion along the eastern coast of India, which is expected to display a more tropical monsoon climate with a higher level of precipitation during the warmest season, which would thus be more favorable for O . fragrans growth and survivability (Li, Shao, and Jiang 2022 ).

In addition, a slight trend toward a higher allele A1 transmission has been reported in Diaz-Anzaldua et al.’s study, which has a bigger sample size and higher statistical power than Nothen’ s study and Herzberg’ s study.

Path density generally explained little variation in ignorance scores, particularly for Coleoptera and Opiliones, but there was a slight trend for decreasing ignorance as path density increased for Araneae, Odonata, amphibians and land mammals.

When examining the median household income quartiles based on ZIP code, there was a slight trend towards a higher number of deaths in lower-income quartiles, but this difference was not statistically significant ( p = 0.13).

Indeed, quantitation of the blots revealed a slight trend towards increased binding of SLO and PFO after HPCD treatment in L. major promastigotes ( Figure 3 ).

The data showed a slight trend - which was not statistically significant - toward Gpc1 -/- embryos being delayed by about 1 somite (at E8.5, wild type = 11.5 ± 2.8 and mutant = 10.3 ± 3.2; at E9.5, wild type = 22.0 ± 2.4 and mutant = 21.2 ± 2.4).

There was also a slight trend for products with unsustainable packaging that were paired with positive images to be perceived as slightly less unsustainable.
