The major findings are as follows: (a) comparison with different VMI reconstructions showed a statistically significant difference only at the extreme levels of the spectrum in a per-vessel analysis, with a slight trend of lower CT-FFR values at higher keV levels.

However, there was a slight trend toward detection with increased tumour size.

It showed 24.5% were in stage I, 26.1% in stage II, 23.4% in stage III and 24.6% in stage IV In the three years considered, there was a slight trend towards an increase in stage I and a not significant decline in stage IV( Table 2 ).

In contrast, COL1A1 expression was not significantly affected by meso-scale structural modification at any time point, although a slight trend toward increased expression was evident at day 7 for all modified surfaces compared with unmodified zirconia.

The Gibbs diagram shows that the primary process that controls the chemical composition at the first three sampling points is the water-rock interaction of recharged freshwaters with more significant evolution in sampling periods 4 and 5; however, in samples S4 and S5, a slight trend of the meteoric precipitation process is observed, which suggests that there is a temporary effect on the composition of the water.

While lower, a decline in strain values was noted in high RA and high RV group, and a slight trend towards improvement was noticed in the low RA, high RV group.

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.

There was a slight trend when analyzing visual acuity, namely, that the longer the time to diagnosis, the worse the visual outcome (Fig. 1 ).

However, within the main taxonomic groups (except fungi) we detect a slight trend for less introns in basal organisms.

Despite the non-significant changes in sphere, SE and UDVA during the follow-up in our series, there was a slight trend to myopization over time.

We further note that the error curve seems to approximate a U-shape with a slight trend to increase again above 180 nm.

The result showed that cisplatin treatment had a slight trend to reduce the viability of F4/80 + macrophages in MTCQ-WT-formed tumors, and the effect was also noted in MTCQ mir21–/– -formed tumors ( online supplemental figure 6B ).

The plots did show a slight trend for increase in diploeic bone thickness at the left and right euryon (figures 5 and 6 ) for both males and females.

Looking at the gene expression, we found a slight trend towards RORC gene expression, which is associated with classical (less pathogenic) T H 17 cells [ 35 ].

Even though there was a slight trend in defaulting to a “violence” communication strategy in the last 2 years (2023–2024) as compared to the first 2 years (2016–2017) of data collection, this difference was not statistically significant.

While an increase in GMPs was detected in vitro, this effect was not directly mimicked in vivo and only a slight trend toward increased numbers was detected (Fig. 3 A).

In spite of the fact that, in her study, Hall found no solid evidence on the impact of the duration of the education - whether this may be measured in hours or spread over days - in relation to the satisfaction level perceived or to the acquisition of knowledge ( 40 ) , in the current study a slight trend has indeed been observed in the sense that the lower the number of hours, the greater the general satisfaction level, with such education being concentrated in a shorter period of time.

Health-related QoL After treatment initiation, IFN-treated patients showed a slight trend for deterioration of both general and HCV-specific HRQoL, measured using EuroQoL 5-dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) and HCV patient-reported outcomes (HCV-PRO), respectively.

However, there was a slight trend towards a more positive direction.

No statistically significant differences in age distribution were observed between genders (χ 2 = 0.668, p = 0.414) or between urban and rural populations (χ 2 = 0.000, p = 1.000), although a slight trend showed that male patients and urban residents tended to be older.
