“a slight trend”

In fact, over time, there is a slight trend in both boys and girls in this group toward increasing levels of enjoyment.

There was a slight trend toward greater load to failure for bone tunnel repair, and conversely, a trend toward decreased displacement after cyclic loading for suture anchor repair; however, neither of these results was significant.

First, we performed 2D scratch assay experiments to assess whether the cells’ secretome affects migration of LECs and SCs after creating a cell-free area by scratching confluent LEC and SC monolayers; however, there only seemed to be a slight trend of cell migration being slower when cultivated in its respective conditioned medium compared to unconditioned medium, as well as the other cells’ secretome.

The addition of antibiotics to the culture produced only a slight trend towards increased spontaneous cytokine secretion, both in CD and in UC, but no difference was significant, except for increased IL8 secretion in UC.

However, we found a slight trend toward greater respiratory microbiota Shannon diversity in stable patients compared with exacerbated patients and a more marked trend toward greater respiratory microbiota Chao1 diversity in healthy vs. diseased individuals.

Additionally, a slight trend of positive correlation to Enterobacteriaceae and Veillonellaceae was observed, independent of feeding mode ( Figures 4(a), 5 ).

There was a slight trend toward improved left ventricular recovery by 7 days as evidenced by the regional anterior WMSI in the SSO 2 -treated MI animals and change in EF from post MI to 7 days follow up.

Although there was a slight trend toward higher disease scores at 24 to 60 hours, this difference was not significant and resolved by 72 hours ( Fig. 3C ).

While our 2D random section data suggested only a slight trend towards larger ribbons in type I VHCs ( Figure 1I ), the large volume data enabled more accurate quantification of individual ribbon volumes ( Figures 4E–G ; Supplementary Table S6 ) alongside the number of cluster-associated SVs.

On a daily scale, these variables exhibit a slight trend of increasing followed by decreasing temperatures, with the highest temperatures occurring between mid-July and early August.

Interestingly, while the rate of living ova‐specific CD8 + T cells was not affected by Rab27a deletion in the primary tumour (Figure 5G ), we noted a slight trend towards reduced apoptosis of these cells, whereas CD8 + T cells specific for the endogenous tumour antigens Pmel and Dct (Tyrp2), which are both present in B16F10‐derived EVs (Table S1 ), showed a significant apoptosis reduction in LNs draining Rab27a ko tumours (Figure 5H‐5I ).

Consumption of drugs prescribed for most conditions from 1987 to 1989 did not show a trend with expo- sure level, although a slight trend was found for drugs taken for ear, nose, and throat, and pulmonary conditions.

Interestingly, liver from female HFD-fed A-KO mice had a slight trend toward reduced mass compared to HFD-fed WT mice ( Figure 3 E), suggesting reduced hepatic steatosis in A-KO mice.

There was a slight trend towards higher expression but also higher variance in B cells derived from HNSCC patients.

To account for a slight trend towards fewer lesions in SLC25A51 knockdown cells even directly following H 2 O 2 treatment, lesions after 2 and 4 h recovery were normalized to the first timepoint, H 2 O 2 treatment without recovery.

Based on the primary endpoint midazolam metabolic ratio, we observe a slight trend towards a weak increase in CYP3A4 activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis after 3 weeks of anti-IL-6R therapy.

The “With Milk” group demonstrated a slight trend versus other pairwise comparisons towards improved mean adherence.

These patients showed a slight trend toward reduced TSP-1 levels, but without statistical differences.

Interestingly, there is also a slight trend toward increased alcohol consumption in groups with better sleep, suggesting a possible connection between better sleep quality and greater socialization.

However, unlike taxon richness, biomass differences were not observed among intertidal heights or subtidal depths, although a slight trend of decreasing biomass with increasing depth was observed in the subtidal.

Although GDNF gene expression and GDNF protein concentrations showed a slight trend towards higher values in MS females, these differences were not statistically significant.

There seems to be a slight trend for higher bond stresses with lower stiffness of the reinforcement; although the differences between aramid and glass fibre are very small, carbon fibre inlays have the lowest value.

There was a slight trend for surgeon/operator experiences to be measured/reported in studies in the earlier stages of the innovation lifecycle (IDEAL stage 1 and 2a).

Nevertheless, a slight trend toward higher extraction efficiency in juice samples was observed.

The circulatory diagnosis group proportion fluctuated throughout, with a slight trend toward an increase that reached statistical significance for 10 of the 15 weeks examined.
