“a slight trend”

However, given a slight trend towards a survival benefit in this group, it is possible that there may still be some individuals who could benefit from additional therapy.

Although a slight trend toward higher alpha diversity was observed at baseline in both NT and ST groups, this difference was not statistically significant and likely reflects natural interindividual variability rather than a consistent difference over time.

We could observe an oxidative burst after injection with PMA and ionomycin in isolated monocytes ( Figure S10H ), however, there was no significant difference in the oxidative burst between the PA group and HC with a slight trend (not significant - ns) toward higher oxidative burst in the convalescent ( 14 ) MIS-C patients.

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.

Although BLM exposure induced a modest decrease in cell viability relative to the untreated control, co-treatment with compounds 9 and 10 did not further reduce viability and even showed a slight trend toward recovery.

By this standard, high dose minocycline given immediately after rNAION induction and for 4 weeks thereafter failed to significantly improve post-stroke RGC numbers, although there was a slight trend.

Even though the number of patients in this subgroup was small, our results indicated a slight trend that the polymorphisms of both genes could explain the differences in TAM metabolism among BC patients.

This could also explain the absence of difference in ALT activity, a classic marker of liver damage, despite KO males displaying a slight trend towards an increase.

Although our model detected a slight trend of this fluctuation, it was unable to precisely predict the depth of these variations.

In contrast, valine homozygous and heterozygous patients displayed only a slight trend towards longer survival.

Although loss of Gpr37 resulted in little to no differences in gene expression, ENS structure or whole GI transit, there was a slight trend in increased SI and colonic transit, and we cannot exclude the possibility that Gpr37 has a functional role at steady state in addition to its role in reactive gliosis.

The pooled SMD = −0.25 (95% CI: −0.61 to 0.11, p >0.05) indicates a slight trend toward improvement in general health within the Tai Chi group, though this result is not statistically significant.

There was a slight trend towards higher satisfaction rates in middle-aged patients (40–65 years), and the lowest satisfaction rates were observed in those over 65 years of age, but this result was not found to be statistically significant.

There was a slight trend toward higher ejection fractions on S-SPECT over DNM for both rest and stress measurements.

Furthermore, there was a slight trend towards more robotic assisted liver resections and more major liver resections after implementation of ERAS.

Specifically, a slight trend of an increase in SNAP25 expression was observed in the cerebellum while a slight trend of a decrease in SNAP25 expression was evident in the cortex in the Western blot analysis.

Although no significant sex differences in histological group distribution were observed, the data suggest a slight trend of predominance of G1a in males and G3 in females, with no clinical predictive value in this group.

However, the other study offered a contrasting perspective, indicating a slight trend toward a reduction in whole-body BMD over 1 year (baseline: 1.042 ± 0.18 vs. postintervention: 1.033 ± 0.16) [ 20 ].

The data show a slight trend toward decreased survival in the TBR:SSR sequential exposure compared to SSR:TBR sequential exposure but was not found to be significant.

Thus, there is a slight trend for a common variant located within an EBNA2 ChIP-seq peak to influence gene expression in EBV-infected B cell lines.

A slight trend but no statistically significant improvement in performance was observed (Fig. 4 B).

Combo lures showed a slight trend toward attracting more virgin females than DA2313, but due to the low number of females captured, significant differences were not found.

demonstrated that among elderly patients, root caries and inflammation were more closely linked to salivary factors and hygiene status than chronological age alone.[ 31 ] Gender did not significantly associated with periodontal indices in our sample, although females demonstrated a slight trend toward better hygiene.

Of interest, there was an improvement in ERBF with Tac-ER compared with baseline between 3 and 10 h postdose, and a slight trend to higher ERBF with Tac-IR compared with baseline for the same time period (Fig. 4 ).

Treatment of the mice with 25 μg serpina3n showed a slight trend toward delaying the initiation as well as minimizing the severity of the disease.
