“a slight trend”

The findings indicated that women who worked night shifts for 15 years or more exhibited a slight trend toward an increased overall risk of colorectal cancer compared to those who never worked night shifts.

Table S2 shows a slight trend of more PN and PC changes among true MDR cases than among RR cases, though there was no statistical significance.

The effect showed a slight trend from higher values in the dapagliflozin group on day 1 (0.09 mg/dL) to lower values by day 5 (−0.05), but with probabilities of direction that did not strongly support either direction (ranging from 0.39 to 0.73).

Moreover, the CD4 + and CD8 + T cell functionality is supported by cytokine secretion and the expression of the co‐inhibitory receptor CTLA‐4 with a slight trend toward higher levels in the core region, especially for IFNγ (Figure 2H ).

However, there was a slight trend toward faster contraction in injured muscles compared to uninjured (1.15‐fold) and in aged versus young mice (1.1‐fold, Figure 5f ).

Most importantly, under the strongest degradation (DL3), that is, in a condition where the degradation efficiency test indicates that sentence-level mechanisms at work were mostly automatic, there was neither an N400 effect nor a LPC effect, not even a slight trend on the grand averages ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).

Although the QLB group demonstrated numerically lower PONV incidence and a slight trend toward delayed TFAR, these changes did not reach statistical significance and should not be interpreted as evidence of clinical benefit.

Previous studies reported similar rates of AF freedom for HPSD and conventional ablation while a recent review 3 and meta-analysis 17 suggest a slight trend favouring HPSD.

In contrast, whereas the Uty KO group showed a significant shift toward the female type by the test using all SDM traits, at the biological system level, there was a slight trend toward the female type in multiple systems such as limb/digit/tail phenotype and liver/biliary system phenotype.

In line with lower serum albumin levels in participants with Child–Pugh A and B scores, a slight trend for lower protein binding was observed with worsening liver function (Fig.

In advanced NSCLC patients, neither the tumor stage nor the grading were able to accurately identify cases at higher risk of early disease recurrence, although a slight trend toward statistical significance was obtained when grouping according to the tumor stage ( Supplementary Table S4 ).

Contrary, persons with the rs7903146 risk T‐allele showed a slight trend for increased T2D risk with increasing cereal fiber intake in SDPP 20 and with increasing fiber intake in MDCS. 21 , 22 An interaction of whole grain with TCF7L2 rs7903146 was also reported by SDPP 20 and EPIC‐Potsdam. 19 In line with the fiber findings, higher whole‐grain intake was in both studies 19 , 20 associated with lower T2D incidence among persons with the rs7903146 CC‐genotype, but not among persons with the risk T‐allele.

While results were similar for near vision, for intermediate and far distances, the results showed a slight trend (81% vs 87% in both distances) to better results for astigmatic patients.

Horses receiving lidocaine showed a slight trend toward faster pain reduction, but no significant differences were observed between groups.

Tac-based regimens showed a slight trend towards better QoL compared to other regimens (Fig.

A slight trend towards increasing work hardening at smaller sizes was observed, as seen previously [ 21 ].

These values are stable and seem independent from the cell number and Foscan concentration, although we observe a slight trend of decreasing rates of plate-adhered PS with increasing cell numbers per well.

There was a slight trend of slowing of the HR compared with his previous 24-h Holter monitoring (average HR, 84 bpm).

There were no apparent correlations between continuous covariates with the exception of age and eGFR, and no overt trends in continuous covariates were observed except for a slight trend towards higher baseline HbA1c with increased IDB.

Overall, there was a slight trend toward repositioning the patient during the surgical procedure using 3D printing.

The number of patients with CSF pleocytosis was also similar in patients with and without pain (even if there was a slight trend toward more patients with pleocytosis in the cohort without pain (Table 1 )).

There were no significant differences between the LPS and saline-treated animals for the pnd 7 + 9 or pnd 14 + 16 animals (P > 0.05), despite a slight trend towards a delay in the pnd 7 + 9 group ( Fig 1 ).

There was a slight trend toward lower risk of colorectal, liver, gastric, and breast cancer with AGI use (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.54-1.15, I 2 = 96%; OR = 0.89, 95.5 % CI 0.75-1.05, I 2 = 89.7%; OR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.36-1.31, I 2 = 55.6%; OR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.37-1.51, I 2 = 66.2%, respectively); however, these associations were not statistically significant.

In the present study, although CX43 levels appeared to show a slight trend to decrease in the non-pregnant group, no significant statistical differences were observed between the groups.

There was a slight trend towards an arousal reaction (i.e., a change from quiet sleep to active sleep or wakefulness, or a change from active sleep to wakefulness), without reaching statistical significance.
