“a small trend”

There was no significant difference in both the number and size distribution of Dicer foci between 8h and 24h, although there was a small trend towards a decrease in the number of Dicer foci per cell ( Fig 3C ).

Interestingly, a small trend for higher degranulation of the CD3+ cells compared to the CD3− was also observed for the IrrTCR-NK, especially against A431_A2 cells.

In the past decade, plant-based nutraceuticals moved from being a small trend to a fast-growing part of the worldwide supplement scene.

There was a small trend towards increasing effect sizes over time.

the combined Groups 2, 3, and 4 did not reach significance (p = 0.15), though a small trend was observed in favor of Group 1.

In our study, despite the increased abundance of Ki67+ cells and intestinal surface area in cold-stressed WT mice, we only observed a small trend for increased jejunal Fgf7 mRNA levels in male WT mice, and no differences in jejunal Igf1 or Igf1r mRNA levels.

For bloating, probiotics demonstrated a small trend toward improvement (SMD 0.158; 95% CI: −0.107 to 0.422), although this did not reach statistical significance.

Although a small trend was evident, there was no significant difference in reporting health benefits between actions in the pre-implementation stage compared to those where actions were underway.

The frequency at which implementation determinant sub-themes were discussed in TA calls was relatively stable over time with a small trend downward (y = −0.12x + 12.72; Figure 2A ).

Randomised controlled trials in preterm infants comparing HFOV to conventional ventilation have shown inconsistent results, with no overall differences in mortality but a small trend toward lower BPD incidence with HFOV. 1 Importantly, though, the benefit was greatest when HFOV was applied with an effective ‘high-lung volume strategy’, and least when HFOV was not (especially if lung protection was optimised during conventional ventilation). 1 A high-lung volume strategy prioritises achieving recruitment during HFOV.

When the HOMA-IR was calculated, there was no significant difference between the two mouse lines, although a small trend of decrease was noted in the REG3A group (Fig. 3f ).

Again, there is a small trend toward the SRT increasing in the ratios >1 plateau region as the eccentricity increases beyond 5–10°, consistent with standard SRT literature.

There was a small trend toward lower cybersickness in the peripheral-cued condition, but it was not statistically significant.

Only a small trend toward increased resistance of het CTC-C was observed.

However, as the number of diseases increases, there was a small trend of increase in mortality.

However, our results indicated a small trend toward a lower symptom burden in the older age group.

There was a small trend in that, as product familiarity grew, so did impressions of safety and effectiveness.

In the same study, a small trend toward lower GABAA subunits’ expression was found in animals exposed to JS solely compared to the control group of animals [ 47 ].

While all treatments demonstrated a small trend to lower COX-2 protein levels, no significant differences were observed ( p = N.S., Figure 7 A).

As shown in Figure 9B , a small trend toward poorer performance with worse neural health conditions (8.57 dB for healthy conditions, 8.76 dB for moderate degeneration, and 9.63 dB for severe degeneration) is not significant compared to the clinical data obtained by Litvak et al.

Despite a small trend in postural angles, our study suggests that other axial symptoms like postural abnormalities and speech impairment cannot be satisfactorily improved (at least acutely) by increasing the levodopa dose in patients with already adequate control of motor symptoms and fluctuations.

3.3.3 WMH change as predictor and wave 4 apathy as outcome In cross‐sectional analysis ( n = 197), there was a small trend towards an association between higher apathy scores and WMH volumes at the age of 79 (Wave four; online supplemental Figure 6 ).

ApoE4-TR females showed a small trend toward impairment compared with ApoE3-TR females, regardless of Aβ expression, but this did not reach significance.
