“a small trend”

There was a small trend indicating that selection criteria based on RTD100 (criteria 3 and 4) required more repetitions for acceptable reliability in knee flexion RTD50.

While we saw a small trend towards the gender differences shrinking over time in the current analysis, this relationship was small, and we are unable to draw inferences from it that will provide more concrete answers to what the origins of the differences are. 5.

Notably, in our study, we observed a small trend for decreased quantification of the HER2/CEP17 ratio and of the average of HER2 copy numbers per cancer cell using IA quantification and an opposite trend for the average of CEP17 copy number.

With respect to hepatic LRP-1, a significant treatment (control feed and alcohol feed) effect was observed [ F (1, 31) = 6.6, p = 0.01], and a small trend toward an alcohol-mediated decrease in LRP-1 in the livers of Tg2576 and WT mice was seen ( Figures 9b , c , d ).

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.

Myelination in GA-Nes mice was not significantly reduced at this young age compared to littermate controls, although there was a small trend (Fig.

1 b, seven of the nine symptoms assessed improved in the OBS arm, with only a small trend of alteration for nausea/vomiting and diarrhea.

For instance, crude lysates from TG animals on a SD showed only a small trend in pAkt/totAkt ratio change, still favoring PS48 ( Supplement Figure S1A ), whereas the difference was more noticeable when first immunoprecipitated ( Figure 1 A).

All groups demonstrated a similar healing rate compared to those in the control group, with a small trend showing slightly faster healing in the treatment groups ( Figure 4 a,c ).

Liver and kidney injury were monitored though different clinical markers: plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were also significantly reduced with phage or combination therapy, while aspartate aminotransferase (AST), urea, triglyceride and the level of total bilirubin showed only a small trend or remained unchanged (Fig. 3c ).

A recent overview of German tests ( Urban et al., in press ) found that conventional norms are commonly used, but that there is a small trend toward continuous norms.

There is a small trend towards the Flex-foot in comparison with the SACH foot for greater stride length and lower energy cost in individuals with a transtibial amputation, and improved gait efficiency and lower energy cost in high activity individuals with a transfemoral amputation. 26 The evidence is uncertain whether a gait training protocol focused on impairment level reduces adverse events or improves mobility assessment when compared to a gait training protocol focused on task level.

There was a small trend towards a similar increase in OVCAR8 cells, albeit this was not significant (Fig. 4 A).

[ 31 , 50 , 51 ] On the other hand, comparison of 1 with the oxidized derivatives 3 and 5 shows a small trend toward lower thermal barriers upon oxidation of the sulfur atom.

15 In rhesus monkeys, while bright light blocks the development of FDM, it has been reported to be ineffective at inhibiting the development of LIM (although a small trend is observed). 21 While the results on rhesus monkeys have been used to argue that outdoor light exposures may not be relevant to the prevention of human myopia, there is evidence from human studies that would support a link.

Exploratory analysis of the BMD of the calcaneus, the most affected bone in this model, revealed a small trend to preserve BMD for the treatment with 6 mg/kg tofacitinib and ldTofa+Syn ( Supplementary Figure S1C ).

We observed a small trend toward prolonged survival when combining IL-7 ALT with αPD-1 therapy (2 of 6 mice surviving more than 30 days, 0 of 6 with long-term overall survival), but a significant increase in survival when combining IL-7 ALT + α4-1BB compared with IL-7 ALT only ( Figure 2D , * P < 0.05).

There was no association between the OA progression outcomes with gene expression (non-normalized counts) for PLCL2, but a small trend was observed for the gene CDYL2.

Looking at all T cells in the iLN (CD3 + cells), there was not a significant shift in IL17a production and a small trend downward in IFNγ production for the SGD‐30XP condition (Figure 4a ).

TIMP-1 may change with differing extra-hepatic clinical and nutritional state [ 88 ], and there is a small trend to changing PIIINP levels with increasing age (though insufficient to alter reference intervals) [ 89 ].

Surviving mice showed only a small trend toward higher fungal burden in treated mice verses the liposomal control treatment ( Supplemental Figure 9B ), likely reflecting the existing delay of monocyte recruitment observed by flow cytometry.

For such data, even short-term forecasting is challenging—the best one can do is often to assume “no change” plus a small trend.

Some previous reports suggest that microsurgical soft-tissue approaches may improve vascularization and thereby reduce contraction [ 24 ], but our results indicated only a small trend in that direction.

In fact, while not significant, there is a small trend to an even further increase in food reward behavior in the KD but not in control female rats, indicating that there is likely a small increase in testosterone as a result of the KD and this increase is attenuating (rather than causing) the increased reward phenotype.

The distributions of diameter index from segments of the IC were largely overlapping, with a small trend of larger diameter indices in fibers projecting to the superior frontal and inferior frontal (IC1-2) than the anterior prefrontal cortex (IC3).
