“a slight trend”

In 2020 and 2021, WNV occurred in the same areas, with a slight trend towards Lower Saxony (in horses) and Thuringia (in birds) [ 25 ].

As expected, the standard errors as a whole decreased substantially as the sample size increased, and there was little difference between Analysis 1 and Analysis 2, with a slight trend toward decreasing standard errors as the odds of smoking increased.

Although a slight trend towards increased tumor take of sarcomas transplanted from NCF1* / * mutant mice was observed, this difference was not significant and did not support a role for NOX2 produced ROS in immune editing of MCA induced sarcomas.

We thus assume that differential OPN proteolysis, affecting assay sensitivity and variability, might account for the observed lack of statistical significance at baseline and 4 months, although a slight trend to higher OPN levels in patients with IPF was indeed visible at 4 months.

In contrast, for the constructs with a pore width of 2.1 mm, drug release remained rapid across all layer numbers but demonstrated a slight trend toward sustained release as the number of layers increased.

Mean postoperative CI ranged between 0.94 and 1.09, showing a slight trend to overcorrection which was concordant with the mean negative values of postoperative ME (ranging from −0.18 to −0.12 D).

A slight trend of greater recovery of transmembrane proteins was apparent in these data ( Figure S4 ).

An RCT comparing telephone and video-based counseling 20 showed a slight trend toward increased colorectal cancer knowledge gain in the video group, but there was no statistically significant difference between groups.

Although we observed a slight trend toward greater corneal endothelial preservation with the M-tip, it was not clinically significant.

The AKP activity in the SR21-FBA-immunized group showed a slight trend of decrease.

Our analyses showed a slight trend for delay in events for a given soak time at sites where overall elasmobranch abundance was classified as ‘low’ or ‘medium’.

There was also a 22% reduction in median serum IL-6 and a slight trend towards a decrease in hs-CRP.

Also, Figure 8 of Rataj and Vďačný ( 2020 ), which indicates a slight trend toward a parasitic lifestyle in T. caudata and a substantial lifestyle shift in T. rostra , further supports T. rostra association with the australis group.

According to average gamma passing rate values there was a slight trend for reducing passing rates compared to the original optimization in case of the renormalization of 5 times 12 Gy plans.

There was a slight trend toward more numerous and less intense polycomb bodies, but the relevance of these minor alterations would require more detailed study.

When subtracting oxy‐Hb and deoxy‐Hb time courses during escalating breathing maneuvers without MNS from corresponding time courses with MNS, the functional hyperoxygenation response is diminished to a slight trend (BH) or vanishes altogether (V15 and V35).

Within the group of above median value necrotic tumors, nimotuzumab treatment resulted in a slight trend towards improved survival, whereas no trend was detectable in below or median value necrotic tumors (Fig. 3a ).

Discussion In this retrospective analysis, infection rates in A-PICC and S-PICC were similar, with a slight trend toward A-PICC.

Shelling percentage varied relatively little among treatments, with a three-year mean ranging from 70% to 74%, suggesting that straw incorporation method had limited effects on kernel plumpness; nevertheless, SD and SDR showed a slight trend of higher shelling percentage relative to other treatments.

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.

In female patients, there was a slight trend toward an increasing percentage of smokers with cancer, although this never exceeded 12% of the total population.

Although no statistically significant differences were detected among the MrgD , MrgE , MrgG , MrgH , Mas1 , there was a slight trend towards increased expression of MrgE and decreased expression of MrgD in the DRG of MrgF −/− mice.

Finally, we performed a similar analysis to evaluate the associations of the analysed biomarkers with treatment response outcomes as reflected by the change in ASDAS scores over 1 year and the disease activity after 1 year of TNFi treatment, showing a slight trend towards improved ASDAS scores when biomarker levels were higher at baseline.

reached the highest OD 600 growing on fatty acids, surfactants, and peptides, but there was no significant difference between FE and RE strains’ changes in absorbance (WRS, W = 1.55e6, P value = 0.08), though there is a slight trend of RE strains having overall higher changes in absorbance.

For the lipid A parent formulations, A-DOPE showed a slight trend of higher particle size for F1 ( Figure 3 B), while the PDI increased from F1 to F3 (n.s., Figure 3 C) and EE% remained comparable across all fractions for both A-DOPE and A-DEPE LNPs ( Figure 3 D).
