“a slight trend”

Neither the H4N6 nor H6N1 virus appeared to be negatively affected by the presence of BST-2, with H4N6 showing a slight trend towards increased replication in MDCK-BST-2 cells ( Fig. 2 B, C).

While there is a slight trend toward increased use of standardized feedback models, this appears unrelated to the specific setting, communication scenario, or profession.

We observed a slight trend towards a lower percentage of T-bet+ cells in both CD4+ ( Figure 6 A, ns) and CD8+ ( Figure 6 B) 2DG-treated T cells.

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).

A slight trend of higher surface roughness for the reinforced formulations was observed, even when the geometry of the samples made the results uncertain.

By 13 DPI, no clear histological differences were observed between the groups, although the vaccinated hamsters showed a slight trend toward higher histological scores.

While three reviews ( 11 , 14 ) found no significant differences in LVEF improvement, two ( 11 , 21 ) reported a slight trend toward a greater improvement in the AVAB group.

As is shown in Figure 5 , for the direct thresholding method, range accuracy has a slight trend to decrease with the accumulated pulses increasing, and range precision stays relatively stable, which may be because the responses of Gm-APD uniformly and randomly distribute over the time axis.

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

Because this intervention consisted of a drinking supplementation, we measured the drinking volumes, observing just a slight trend of an increase in the drinking of 1C-MIM water compared to control standard water ( Figure S6 B).

For the histograms of the most frequent nucleotide at each position there is a slight trend of values being closer to 1 for the HH region than for the NHH region (see Additional file 1 ).

Meanwhile, in the right ears, the trend was the opposite, with the Wave V amplitudes and amplitude-to-latency ratios showing a slight trend of differences between controls and T-4 participants and no difference for Wave V fast-rate latency.

Based on these findings, there is a slight trend for individuals with higher trait anxiety to fall asleep faster and to have fewer arousals when they know they will definitely be called—though we must be cautious in our interpretation of these findings.

Linear mixed effects modeling showed that students’ attitudes and their understanding of the scientific process did not differ significantly when compared with the control group; however, a slight trend showing improved student attitudes exists in non-pilot year cohorts.

The assumption that this results in a higher potential for overcorrections or relapses was not confirmed with any significance in our study, despite the observation of a slight trend.

Our results did show a slight trend that if the husband was dissatisfied (perhaps indicating some conflict or disappointment), the odds of PPD were higher (OR >1), though not significantly so.

However, a slight trend towards significance was found in eGFR.

Prophylactic treatment with 2 g/kg of IVIg ip 18 hours before the induction of acid-induced ALI showed a slight trend towards an attenuated injury response in that the decline in SaO 2 subsequent to acid instillation was largely blocked, yet no significant differences in peak inspiratory pressures or mouse W/D lung weight ratios were detectable between saline and IVIg pretreated mice ( Figure 8 ).

While a slight trend was observed - indicating shorter hospital stays with higher hemoglobin levels - statistical tests showed no significant differences between groups.

Additionally, transwell invasion and migration assays revealed that OPN expression levels did not influence the invasion or migration of CRC cells, although there was a slight trend toward the opposite effect (Fig. 3C ).

Figure 5 B displays no significant relation between cluster size and resulting forward velocity, although there is a slight trend of larger clusters moving faster, but no direct correlation to the magnetic content.

Regarding BMI, the analysis within this subgroup displayed a non-significant difference in the probiotics group, with a mean difference of − 0.18 (95% CI − 1.18, 0.83) with heterogeneity ( I 2 = 61%, p = 0.73), indicating a slight trend toward lower BMI but without statistical significance.

Although there was a slight trend towards an increase in spine size, on average we did not detect a significant change in spine structure intensity following whisker stimulation when compared to control ( Fig. 3a, e , Supplementary Fig. 3a, b ).

SCFAs concentrations remained largely consistent across regions, with only a slight trend observed for acetate.

For DL-125, a slight trend could be obtained for a decreased W 2 as ∆ offset increases due to the longer cooling time between the laser energy inputs.
