“a slight trend”

Directly comparing max and “peak,” max showed a significantly higher metabolic rate than peak (mean: 10.46 ± 3.22, p < 0.01) with a slight trend of an increasing difference at higher metabolic rates ( Figure A1 in Appendix A ).

In the Early Breast Cancer Trialists’ Collaborative Group (EBCTCG) meta-analysis, PR expression was not significantly predictive of tamoxifen treatment response in ER-negative breast cancer, although there was a slight trend, which failed to reach statistical significance [ 14 ].

A slight trend was observed in the CWRES versus concentration plot, which appeared to be driven by a small number of observations at higher concentrations where the model tended to underpredict the observed values (Figure 2 ).

In contrast, the HOG pathway mutants showed only a slight trend toward increased susceptibility to H 2 O 2 that was only significant for the pbs2 Δ mutant at one of the doses of H 2 O 2 that were used ( Fig. 3B ).

For focus offset variances, there was only a slight trend of JP-Unfamiliar having less variance in the visual comparison (see Figure 10 d).

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 ).

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.

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

Blood variables of interest remained unchanged or showed some slight improvements during the treatment period, concerning most variables with no obvious differences between the two groups; insulin showed a slight trend to decrease in the wIRA group and to increase in the control group.

(2022) had observed that being heterosexual and having a partner predicted greater satisfaction with sexual life during the pandemic, in our study we only observed a slight trend in the same direction, but it is not statistically significant.

In contrast, female mice showed only a slight trend towards increasing mortality in the summer vs the other seasons ( Figure 4D ) and this difference was not statistically significant (HR female =1.31, p=0.614).

Although we did not see any change in necrotic core size, we did see a slight trend increase of fibrotic cap thickness in mice with MF MMP8 deficiency ( Fig 5D , E ).

Herein, we observed a slight trend to lower frequencies of IFNγ- and granzyme B-expressing CD4 + T cells from the CL-treated, infected group, which did not reach significance ( Figures 2G, H ).

Although granzyme B + perforin + NKG2A + CD56 dim NK cells showed a slight trend towards lower frequencies in HEULT compared to HEUMT children, this was minimal and not significant (Fig. 2 e).

From all the season loadings, those in the fall seemed to differ the most from the other seasons, showing a slight trend toward more loadings during the night and fewer loadings at midday.

(ii) Baseline discrimination thresholds did not differ significantly between migraineurs and controls; there was a slight trend toward lower thresholds in migraineurs at both contrasts tested.

reported significant associations of dietary intakes of nitrates and nitrites with GC observed in case–control studies, while cohort studies still showed a slight trend [ 43 ].

External syntenic regions are rare, with only 0 to 4 such translocations per syntenic region in all genome pairs, and show only a slight trend for a higher number in longer regions.

bocqueti , with a slight trend toward lighter pigmentation at higher temperatures in the latter two species ( Figures S19 – S21 ).

Moreover, the chemotaxis assay showed a slight trend of reduced neutrophil migration towards the IA-treated plasma of patients with MS.

However, despite being previously published to improve blood glucose in db/db mice [ 10 ], 0.15 % NEN in the current study did not affect blood glucose control or any of the parameters measured apart from a slight trend for mildly decreased gonadal fat pad mass and liver triglyceride content.

[ 21 ] reported a slight trend to higher rates of pain relief at higher radiation doses, but did also not employ a normalization of the used fractionation schedule.

However, in the RMR-fed groups, the albumin levels in the serum can be restored in a dose-dependent manner ( p < 0.05), with a slight trend of increase observed in the Msol-1X and Msol-2X groups.

Figure 4b shows a slight trend towards an increase in the percentage of items with their answer “hinged” to the answer of a related item, although the increase is not significant.
