“a small trend”

However, it has to be emphasized that there was not even a small trend in the predicted direction, and the same was also true for Experiment 1a.

We observed a small trend toward lower risks of eLGA across all measures of socioeconomic or mental health disadvantage, although most were statistically insignificant.

Our data evidenced a small trend to decrease caloric intake, from the YG to the OG.

Although there was a small trend toward improved specificity in later years, there were not substantial improvements in sensitivity or specificity with introduction of updated forms of the UDS, the introduction of the Lewy Body Dementia Module in 2015, or the publication of updated Consensus Criteria for DLB in 2017. 5 The Lewy Body Dementia Module provides an in‐depth assessment of clinical symptoms and signs commonly found in LBD, including detailed assessments of cognitive fluctuations, sleep, and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

In contrast, we only detected a small trend for increased EIF2A phosphorylation, suggesting that EIF2A phosphorylation might not be the main driver for IRS1-dependent ISR.

Still, this study demonstrates a small trend towards a subtype-dependent prognostic relevance of membranous CD24 expression.

The data suggest a small trend towards a reduction of the number of antipsychotic prescriptions in both groups, which might be an indication to recent findings on the effectiveness of medication reviews [ 27 ].

PDL1 levels were unchanged but there was a small trend towards increased levels of CTLA-4 (Supplementary Fig. 9D, E ).

There was a small trend towards a reduction in cryotreatment-induced weight and BMI changes as a function of age, although the trend was not statistically significant ( p ≅0.2): some older individuals displayed substantial reductions in waist circumference and some young subjects displayed low responses (not presented).

The three cell types that showed little change in R 2 or a small trend in the opposite direction were endothelial cells, CB epithelial cells, and CB cells.

Females showed slightly higher TAR and notably higher HR, whereas males displayed a small trend toward higher LF/HF values.

In our LME model analysis, we observe a small trend of reduced position error over sessions (see Section 3.2 and Supplementary material ) that, however, only slightly improves the regression model fit.

This suggests that there is a small trend for the likelihood of being male or female to rise with age, or the other way around.

Interestingly, we observed a small trend to an increased H + production from uncoupled glucose metabolism in hearts from DIO mice treated with myriocin ( Figure 4 ).

For the Nb/N42 although there appeared to be a small trend to increase in magnitude with ISI and some evidence of a preference for 600 ms ( Fig. 4 ), there were no significant main ANOVA effects of ISI or regularity (see also Table 2 ).

This tendency was most pronounced in the Criss dataset but was also a small trend in the Cortese et al. dataset and the shallow processing condition of the Kiliç et al. dataset.

Although these results reveal at most a small trend, the direction of this trend is consistent with observations in the literature ( 23 , 24 ).

For both these disease categories, there was a small trend toward relatively lower disease incidence among offspring of families from the lowest risk tertile.

Hill and colleagues [ 110 ] demonstrated that exposure to the Trier social stress test resulted in a significant increase in 2-AG concentrations (and a small trend toward increased AEA concentrations) in the circulation.

However, it must be clearly stated that the climate change signal in the snow cover shows a small trend compared with its year-to-year variability (Marke et al. 2015 ).

In addition, a small trend towards larger b integral is observed in m ( t ) as a function of pressure.

Analysis of CAR expression showed a small trend towards lower expression of the T-LiBa CARs ( Fig. 3 B).

There were statistically significant differences in patient age and ASA-PS between the 3 periods, with a small trend toward older patients and a substantive trend towards increased ASA 2 and 3 patients in the training and postintervention periods.

In the combined ICI groups we found a small trend to more de novo R-irAEs (~80% vs 93%), higher rates of reported myalgia, myositis and (mostly clinically irrelevant) CK elevation, but lower rates of tenosynovitis.

While the CD4+ compartment within CD-axSpA was skewed towards a terminally activated phenotype, we noted a small trend towards increased PD-1+ T cells of both CD4 and CD8 lineages within all disease groups including CD-axSpA (Fig. 3 e, f), suggesting increased terminally exhausted T cells in at least a subset of individuals.
