There was a slight trend toward greater incidence of diarrhea during the exposure period among infants (Figure 1), but it was not statistically significant.

Regarding a potential correlation between SEC62 expression and response to treatment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, no significant difference in SEC62 levels was seen between patients with complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD), with only a slight trend towards lower SEC62 levels in CR patients compared to non-CR patients (PR + SD + PD; Figure 1 F).

We found a slight trend between positive MMP-28 immunostaining and better prognosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Lastly, the glucose supplementation protocol did not significantly alter the probability of asystole (p>0.05), although there is a slight trend of earlier asystole in glu-suppl group.

2014 ), although with a slight trend for more behaviors directed at both stimuli for the conspecific versus hybrid trials (Fig. 3 ).

This confirmed that there were no significant reductions in SOR scores in this group, and the presence of a slight trend towards a reduction was similar in the placebo, B6 and B12 groups, rather than selective to B6.

In our study, increasing small bowel length was associated with a slight trend toward increased diversity in SS from SBS patients that both did and did not require PN.

While cohorts treated at 1 and 6 months of age showed a slight trend in retinal thinning when they expressed progranulin in comparison to contralateral control eyes ( Figures 3 A–3C), animals injected at 12 months of age exhibited statistically significant reductions in retinal thickness ( Figure 4 I).

Regarding sleep extension effects on inhibition capacity (i.e., the Go-NoGo task) during TSD, our results showed a slight trend toward less errors in the extended sleep condition compared to the habitual one which suggested that the sample size is still fairly modest even though the cross-over design substantially increase its power.

4 a) and there is a slight trend towards more insertions conferring a fitness advantage rather than a fitness impairment.

Merely a slight trend towards faster and more accurate responses for the affected limb for the plantar view, but not the dorsal view, can be observed.

In support of this hypothesis, histamine synthesis rate showed a slight trend to increase after the DFMO treatment, although not statistically significant (HDC enzymatic activity in pmol/h/10 6 cells: control 8.31±1,76 versus DFMO 12.8±1.3; P = 0.24).

Similarly, Wu et al, showed that hBMSCs cultured in a Copper-containing mesoporous bioactive glass scaffolds (Cu-MBG) display a slight trend of increased in ALP activity compared to those without Cu ions [ 54 ].

In striking contrast, the overestimation of hand width was found only for the participant’s own hand, with a slight trend in the opposite direction found for the rubber hand.

In the analysis of cumulative antibiograms from our hospital, a slight trend of susceptibility decrease to nitrofuran derivatives was observed.

Note that, for variable CYP3A4, the correlation looks weakly positive, so there was a slight trend of higher scores when it took the value of “yes”.

Overall, while AF3‐p showed a slight trend toward better phospho‐state agreement, all models performed similarly in both structural cluster alignment and phosphorylation state matching.

Moreover, a meta-analysis of the most relevant randomized trials highlighted a slight trend toward an increased incidence of IE after TAVI in patients with intermediate surgical risk ( Ando et al., 2019 ).

Furthermore, we noticed a slight trend towards improvement in LV-GLS and LVEF of 3.7% and 1.39%, respectively, though this was not statistically significant.
