However, a slight trend was seen in a few instances that mirrored the pattern seen in total cells, where circulating ME/CFS naïve and effector cells had slightly higher levels of this transporter ( Supplementary Figure S1(Cii,iii) ).
In addition, although Fig 3 demonstrates a slight trend in the β-alanine group to improve total time and the Δ% improved ~3% for time variables in the β-alanine group, whereas in the placebo group the improvement was only ~0.5% ( Table 1 ), these differences (between-subject factor and within-subject factor) were very small and widely dispersed, making them non-significant.
Although there is a slight trend towards increased levels of PAPC and POPC, these changes are not statistically significant ( Figure 3A ).
Scores on the Jenkins Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (8.5 ± 3.8) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (5.7 ± 2.9) indicate a slight trend to poor sleep quality [ 34 ].
For the subgroup of [ 18 F]FDG-avid lesions and lesions in patients with NSCLC, there was a slight trend towards a higher [ 18 F]Galacto-RGD uptake in more [ 18 F]FDG-avid lesions (r = 0.337).
The model based on SCS only showed a strong peak in probability for records within 1 day of acute mastitis ( Figure 4 c), and a slight trend toward higher probabilities for records closer to diagnosis with chronic mastitis ( Figure 4 d).
The gross en bloc resection rate and complication rate were not statistically different between these two groups, with a slight trend towards a lower en bloc rate and fewer complications in the US group.
Although we observed a slight trend of positive correlation, as found in the Bahrami et al.
The FCBS in the coding region display a slight trend toward increased FMRP binding moving from the 5′ toward the 3′ end of the CDS.
In the intervention group, there was a slight trend towards a reduction, while a 21% increase was observed in the control group at the conclusive follow‐up visit ( Figure 2B , Table S3 ).
There were limited flavored e-liquid exposure-related changes in the epithelial thickness; although there was a slight trend in increase of thickness following nicotine exposure, the majority are not statistically significant, especially in males, and statistical differences are mainly found in females exposed to non-flavored reference and sporadically flavored e-liquid aerosols ( p ≤ 0.01).
Adequate fusion rates were observed in our patient cohort, with a slight trend toward a higher fusion rate on the site of the Trinity CBA that was not statistically significant.
For group W10 there is a slight trend to improvement during the 10 sessions, with a trend from linear fit of −0.29°/session.
For the Columbia River, the dominance curves show a slight trend towards decreasing native species richness in Bonneville and The Dalles reaches and suggest that native species evenness increased from 2006 to 2013 in three of the four reaches ( Fig 7A ).
While there was a slight trend for increased image quality with decreased BMI, decreased PPA, PICS and CPR, these differences were not significant (p < 0.05 – see Supplementary Fig. 2 a–d).
In contrast to children with ADHD [for a review, see ( Corominas et al., 2012 ; Fairchild, 2012 )], in adults with hyperactivity and impulsivity symptoms (combined subtype), the cortisol response to stress tends to approach that of the healthy controls despite a slight trend to lower cortisol values.
Firstly, during the whole treatment period, the mice in all experimental groups maintained a slight trend of weight gain, and no weight loss was observed, implying the adopted therapy did not induce serious systemic toxicity (Figure 6g ).
Using the Ultra X device at 45 kHz, PUI demonstrated moderate and uniform efficacy across canal thirds, with a slight trend of decreasing complete removal toward the apex.
A slight trend for increased expression can be noted on chromosomes 8, 9, 11, and 22 with their ratios increased by 0.15–0.2.
Whereas in NCV group this degree of correlation between the changes in the enlargement of different aortic segments has a slight trend to decrease towards the aortic end, in CV group, the degree of correlation has an increasing trend towards the aortic end (Figure 24 ).
The meta-analysis showed no neuroprotection with PLX treatment, despite a slight trend toward increased dopaminergic neurons and benefits in longer treatments (8–11 weeks).
Although there is a slight trend suggesting that the Mutant (GG) genotype has higher mean PPAR-alpha levels compared to the Wild (CC) and Hetero (CG) genotypes, this difference is not statistically significant.
There were no effects involving the grouping variable, P s ≥ 0.08, though sampling differences resulted in a slight trend for those to be tested with the same outcome to respond insignificantly more on some trials (e.g., trials 5 and 6) than those to be tested with a different outcome, a trend we mention here as it persisted throughout the experiment.
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.
Moreover, regarding changes in soil pH, although a slight trend of soil acidification was observed in plots from the sub-trial with mineral nitrogen supply, a significant effect between counterpart treatments was observed only in the SLU-treated plots.
