“a slight trend”

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.

A slight trend towards a lower increase in LET-weighted D2% in the brainstem was observed in plans with larger hinge angles, as depicted in Fig. 5 , although no statistically significant correlation was identified (Pearson correlation coefficient: −0.45, p = 0.22, excluding the plan with distal edges pointed towards the spinal cord).

As for age, there was a slight trend toward older age in the RH respondents, although this was not statistically significant ( P = .38).

There is a slight trend that higher clearance, and therefore shorter elimination half-lives, can lead to shorter dosing intervals, e.g., QW dosing, but in general the data did not reveal a clear correlation, possibly due to the large scatter.

Vice versa, in the right hemisphere, a slight trend of increasing desynchronization from C to CP to P and finally to O appeared in both the time windows ( Figure 5 ).

Additionally, although a slight trend toward poorer stereopsis with increasing anisometropia was observed, it failed to reach statistical significance, indicating high variability among the participants ( Fig. 3 ).

Challenge with HeV or NiV-B following treatment did not significantly impact the resultant nAb titer; however, there was a slight trend towards increasing homologous PRNT50 titers (challenge with NiV-B increases NiV PRNT50, challenge with HeV increases HeV PRNT50).

Genes that are specific of the placenta, either early or at term, have a slight trend to be specifically induced by hypoxia in early term placenta.

Since 4 October 2019, the surface of region A-1 had begun to show a slight trend of subsidence, and then the funnel-shaped subsidence began to gradually form.

We found the classes of apparent shapes and their representation to be very similar in RIM-BP2 −/− IHCs with a slight trend toward less stripe-shaped (62%) and more round (16%) appearance.

At day 1, all bivalent antibodies were present in serum at similar concentrations (1000–3000 nM), comparable to a non-targeted control IgG (~2500 nM), with only a slight trend toward higher levels for weaker binding antibodies ( Figure 3A ).

MRSE was within 0.5 D of target refraction in 95.21% but showed a slight trend toward overcorrection.

A slight trend toward higher antibody levels in infected animals compared with contact animals was observed, but the differences were not statistically significant.

For F68 FE-AAV gels there appeared to be a slight trend towards less degradation following storage, but as a group, F68 FE-AAV gels stored at 4 °C or −80 °C did not differ significantly from controls.

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 ).

A slight trend towards improved performance in the retest condition was observed, with a mean difference (Retest - Test) of -0.28 dB (95% CI [-0.60, 0.05]), the SD of paired differences was 0.69 dB, yielding limits of agreement of -1.63 to 1.07 dB, corresponding to a small effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.40).

In two metrics, there is a slight trend: Members of the communication subgroup reported higher confidence levels, the less time they took to stop the surgical bleeding (y = −0,7498× + 4,639), and members of the bleeding subgroup reported higher confidence levels, the less time they took to stop the diffuse bleeding (y = −0,671× + 4,8944).

A slight trend of decreasing hardness with increasing rate may have existed, but was within the uncertainty (scatter bars) of the experiments.

Figure 3A shows the gradient for all samples for our recipients stratified by acute GVHD grade; there is a slight trend to a higher gradient in those with higher grades of acute GVHD.

We also observed a slight trend toward increased genomic instability in Polζ f/+ /CD21-cre heterozygous B cells compared with wild-type B cells (Table S2).

The mean number of cigarettes/day (cig/d) before pregnancy remained constant, around 16 cig/d, whereas a slight trend to increase over time was seen, from 7.7 to 8.9 cig/d.

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.

Validity of the open field analysis was further supported by conducting the behavioral paradigm four days after the injection (Day 5), while a complete disappearance of the SBI-IgG effect was observed along with no significant effect on the animals’ preference for the center, though a slight trend was still identifiable ( Figure 3 G–L).

We observed a slight trend towards increased relapse in the mutant group, but given the conflicting directions of effect and substantial heterogeneity, no definitive conclusion can be drawn.

There were no significant differences in hydration or thickness if grouping participants into ethnicity, but if we compared using Fitzpatrick scales there is a slight trend in the SC thickness such that the SC thickness decreases with increasing Fitzpatrick number.
