“a slight trend”

No statistically significant differences were observed between modalities, although a slight trend toward higher indoxyl sulfate removal was noted with HAHDx.

A slight trend towards reduced TDL was detected in these experiments, which, however, did not reach the level of significance in both groups (Kruskal-Wallis-test following Dunn’s post hoc -test; p = 0.17).

For ectoine, a slight trend towards higher accumulation was observed at 35°C as indicated by the miniaturized temperature screening.

Moreover, a slight trend for decreased latencies across the 3 test trials was observed in rats receiving rolipram and anisomycin, although this did not reach statistical significance.

No significant difference between the number of mitochondria analyzed were observed across ages or genotypes, although a slight trend was observed in aged male animals towards fewer mitochondria in sGCα1 −/− mice compared to WT.

In an open label study including 25 patients, Hanna et al found no significant difference in the efficacy of pramipexole vs pergolide as adjuvant therapies in mild to moderate PD, although there was a slight trend in favour or pramipexole ( Hanna et al 2001 ).

We observed a slight trend of an increasing BMI z -score with higher quantiles of all biomarkers; however, credible intervals were very wide ( Figure 3 ).

In general, a slight trend of a decrease in 22:6n-3, 20:5n-3, 18:3n-3, and 20:4n-6 with increasing DOC concentrations was observed ( Fig 5 ).

TLR3 activation via PolyIC treatment caused a slight trend to downregulate miR-221-3p and miR-27a-3p in M2-macrophages, but did not affect miR-155-5p.

In this case, with an average relative transmittance increment of about 5%, although with a slight trend to decrease for larger wavelengths, beyond 680 nm approximately.

A slight trend was observable, with the extreme hopping treatments (control and 96-h) being more removed from the intermediate hopping times.

When evaluating DBP at crises, no electrolyte was significantly correlated with DBP at crises; however, serum potassium showed a slight trend towards a negative correlation with DBP at crises.

Although participants continued to show a slight trend towards liberal estimates in the variable condition as in the virtual reality studies of Lin et al.

Conclusions The volatile fraction of the brandies was strongly marked by the young wine spirit and presented a slight trend to increase over the aging process as a result of the growing concentration attributable to the merma phenomenon.

There seems to be a slight trend towards a decrease in free amino groups with fermentation for 12 h, probably due to the early assimilation of available nitrogen by both LAB and yeasts, followed by a slight increase, which could point towards some limited hydrolysis of the proteins.

However, when E2 rats were co-treated with OLZ ( Figure 2a ), an interaction effect was observed, with daily and cumulative food intake significantly higher in E2+OLZ than in E2+VEH rats and body weight displaying a slight trend towards elevation ( Figure 2b ).

A slight trend was noted toward an increased risk for failure with advanced age, but it did not reach statistical significance ( P =0.063).

A slight trend towards lower levels in the ENO-immunized infected mice was observed for several cytokines (e.g.

pinnata shoots showed a slight trend to be inversely correlated with S supply, the negative effect of increasing sulfate levels on Se accumulation was only 2–3-fold, much less pronounced than for B. juncea (Figures 1A,C ).

Implantation of the Barricaid device showed a slight trend to reduce the RoM and the NZ, except in extension.

This was similarly seen in a smaller study by Villani et al., who reported a 50% decrease in new melanoma diagnoses post-lockdown, and although there was no difference in median Breslow thickness, there was a slight trend toward invasive disease compared with in situ (56% post-lockdown compared with 44% in 2019 and 55% in 2018). 19 A similar trend to more advanced disease also has been reported in nonsmall-cell lung cancer in Korea with higher presentation of stage III-IV disease in 2020 (74.7%) compared with previo

While a slight trend that websites trying to move inside the central area can be observed.

This study revealed a slight trend towards increased frequency of INR checks associated with higher TTR (Figure 2 ).

In addition, the cluster purity of both tools was not significantly worse than the purity based on all 2000 HVGs, though we observed a slight trend indicating a better cluster purity based on HVGs.

While there is a slight trend towards more infections with higher drug levels, the differences were not statistically significant.
