In the literature

Conversely, the lower occurrence of such paroxysmal EEG patterns in the CMV-seropositive cohort, alongside the lack of differences in the SCoRS global rating or total score, might tentatively reflect a subtle, chronic viral-induced exhaustion of these plastic compensatory mechanisms—a pattern potentially consistent with frontally mediated network mechanisms [ 62 , 63 ] that manifests nominally as a slight trend toward disorganization.
In the group of RRMS patients that switched to fingolimod or alemtuzumab there was a slight trend that those with higher baseline CSF GAP-43 concentration more often achieved clinical disability improvement (CDI; EDSS improvement of ≥1 point for those with an EDSS of ≥ 2 points at baseline, excluding 5 patients as they did not have EDSS ≥ 2 at baseline), but not significant [CDI at follow-up ( n = 5): 1930 (1471–2999) pg/mL, no CDI at follow-up ( n = 25): 1717 (1354–2398) pg/mL, p = 0.58].
However, there was a slight trend toward a marginally better health status in SD than HD recipients: The percentages of recipients having or having experienced medical conditions within the last 5 years were slightly higher in the HD than in the SD cohort as were the percentages of recipients who died or were admitted to a nursing home during the study.
We judge the current data to indicate a slight trend toward splice-affecting mutations occurring within the stems of local RNA secondary structures, specifically at the "dangling ends." However, subsequent Monte Carlo simulations with the appropriate statistical tests (Chi-squared or Fisher exact) revealed none of these trends to be statistically significant (α = 0.1) with the current data.
