“a slight trend”

A slight trend toward mild, drug-induced decreases in orthostatic BP and moderate increases in orthostatic heart rate were observed, but there was no clear dose-dependency.

The creatinine levels indicated, however, only a slight trend in the same direction as they showed poor correlation with the scoring results ( r 2 = 0.52).

A total of 29 studies (28%) used only remote sensing data, indicating a slight trend towards the use of remote sensors for grapevine disease identification in recent years.

Although there was a slight trend in expression for both enzymes as the fibrosis stage increased, the observed changes did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 4 e, f ).

Although the results showed a slight trend favoring the clear aligner group, the CI included zero, indicating no statistically significant difference in mandibular positioning between the groups.

[ 22 ] noted a slight trend favoring medical therapy in older patients, suggesting that the benefits of closure may diminish with age or in patients with complex comorbidities.

A slight trend toward higher weights (less down-weighting) performing better (positive delta performances) than lower weights can be observed.

At days 21 and 28 after induction, we observed that the tumor growth compressed the contralateral brain tissue, and the bilateral behavior changes were more evident than a slight trend of unilateral spatial changes of gait assessment owing to bilateral hemisphere involvement.

8 Overall, early revision rates in rTSA and stemless aTSA are similar whereas there is a slight trend towards a higher revision rate in stemmed aTSA at 5 years which is more evident in type A glenoids with the highest CPR at 7.5%.

Although there was a slight trend of increasing tissue stiffness with increasing suction, it was not statistically significant ( Fig. 2A ; Table 2 ).

No significant associations were observed with sex (slope = 20.80, 95% CI: −1177 to 1218, P = 0.972) or income ( P = 0.091), although there was a slight trend toward lower ferritin levels in patients with higher income (Table 2 ).

Within the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, under dark conditions, carotenoid hydroxylase CrtO (e_gw1.5.336.1) showed a slight trend toward higher expression during glucose cultivation.

in 2013, they reported similar outcomes that there seemed to be a slight trend for patients treated with VP to suffer fewer complications than those treated with EF.

Analysis showed that most m 6 A transcripts in young animals were not differentially expressed between these cell types ( repo + 506 genes and repo − 680 genes), with a slight trend toward higher expression of m 6 A transcripts in neuronal cells (Figure 3g ).

Levels of acetylation of α-tubulin, a surrogate marker of HDAC6 activity, were not significantly altered in IPF lungs in comparison to their controls, although there was a slight trend for increased acetylation in IPF.

No significant change was observed in the secondary gustatory area, although there was a slight trend toward longer latencies in Fp1 and Fp2.

This review found that although there was a paucity of randomized controlled trials comparing needle sizes, there was a slight trend of the available data favoring the smaller 25 gauge needle.

IRAK1 expression correlated positively with pathology stage and tumor grade (for the latter there was only a slight trend).

In patients under 60 years of age, a slight trend in favor of survival was observed in the PPLND group compared to the PLND group, although this difference was not statistically significant.

In the case of the acid pulp, the lignin content was 17.71 ± 1.94 (treatment 9), similar to that of the untreated fibers, with a slight trend to increase, possibly because the hemicelluloses and lignin were removed at a lower degree than with the alkali treatment.

While significant differences between these values were not found, it could be observed a slight trend of increasing HB in the colonies fed with the HE.

The calculations started from the quantum-refined structures where w x = 0 and 100 give the most and least negative energies, respectively, and the variation is rather random but with a slight trend that the strain energy increases with w x .

Although there may be a slight trend in decreasing residual variation at higher fitted values ( Fig.

In sensitivity analyses, the global Schoenfeld residual test indicated statistically significant departures from proportional hazards for childhood mental health conditions; however, the log–log survival curves were approximately parallel and did not cross, and the LOWESS-smoothed scaled Schoenfeld residuals fluctuated around zero with only a slight trend over age, suggesting no major violation of the proportional hazards assumption.

The JAK2 V617F VAF was generally maintained across both HD and ET MSC‐pre‐seeded scaffolds, with a slight trend towards a higher JAK2 V617F mutation burden in the ET MSC‐pre‐seeded scaffolds, though this result did not reach statistical significance (Figure 3E ).
