“a statistical trend”

Yes, evolution of eukaryotes is more tree-like than evolution of prokaryotes (due in large part to meiosis and regular sex in most groups) but the general description is the same: the TOL is not an overarching pattern but a statistical trend and in that form is real and useful.

Against this baseline connectivity, 5 Hz tACS significantly altered connectivity only with the hippocampus and showed a statistical trend of weaker connectivity with the posterior cingulate cortex (moderate evidence in favour of a difference, BF 10 = 3.5; Fig. 9B ).

The less than robust effect that has been demonstrated may to some extent explain why only a statistical trend to better outcomes in depressed, recent post-MI patients receiving a SSRI was observed in the SADHART study.

A retrospective analysis from an ongoing multi-center clinical study conducted by the European Group for the Study of Resistant Depression (GSRD) found that an elevated BMI was associated with higher suicidality, longer psychiatric hospitalizations, and earlier age of MDD onset, also reporting a statistical trend of higher BMI with treatment resistance [ 56 ].

An alpha value of P ≤ 0.05 was used for all tests and a statistical trend was defined as being less than twice the alpha value (that is, ≤ 0.1).

Regional subgroup analysis showed a statistical trend of higher DL prevalence in the USA (33.02%) compared to Asia (19.89%) and Europe (17.5%).

Unadjusted p values < 0.1 were interpreted as indicative of a statistical trend.

Discussion Our data show a statistical trend supporting earlier findings for an association of PCSK6 with handedness.

While the former did not influence BPD symptoms, there was a statistical trend towards an influence of age on BPD symptoms ( β sex =−0.2, P sex >0.1, β age =0.2, P age ⩽0.1).

Accordingly, when analyzing the food group consumption, the control group presents a statistical trend of consuming more animal protein, while the AMA women consume more vegetable protein, with the potential nutritional consequences that this may have.

There was a statistical trend indicating that increased use of SDP transfusions was associated with an increased likelihood of induction-related mortality (10.6% in patients given over 3 units of SDP vs. 1.5% in patients given 3 or less SDP units; p = 0.076).

The increase of CYTOR expression in SK-BR-3 cells followed a statistical trend.

A p -value <0.05 was considered statistically significant, while values in the range of 0.10≥ p ≥0.05 were assumed to indicate a statistical trend.

The association ALS-FTD seemed to express higher atrophy ratings compared to ALS patients for the motor cortex, anterior cingulate, temporal and occipital lobes and a statistical trend for the orbitofrontal cortex. 34 , 35 DTI shows reduced white matter integrity relative in frontal and temporal regions when comparing to healthy older adults.

This relationship, although remaining at the level of a statistical trend, was evident in the generalised oedema (understood as the average of all three measurement lines in a given measurement) on postoperative day 1 and showed higher values in patients without regenerative methods compared to patients who received LLLT.

More interestingly, and similar to previous studies, the N170 inversion effect was more pronounced in younger relative to older adults (Gao et al., 2009 ; Daniel and Bentin, 2012 ), although in the present study the respective interaction was only observed as a statistical trend.

It can thus be concluded, albeit it was only a statistical trend, that using the VR controller never grasping might be suited best for detecting the Apb in AUD patients versus HCs.

Insulin-R: Ethanol had a statistical trend effect on pYpY1162/1163 -Insulin-R.

Although 6 specimens per group (18 shoulders in total) is a reasonable number and significant differences were observed, the groups might still be underpowered, which may also explain why the higher ultimate load to failure in the CH group compared with the LPCC group showed only a statistical trend but no actual significant difference.

Depending on what evolutionary questions are to be addressed, many possible approaches can be used to harvest the FOL [ 22 , 23 , 41 , 42 ], without giving an absolute priority to the reconstruction of the TOL (perceived as a statistical trend or as the real genealogy of evolving entities).

However, both groups exhibited a statistical trend toward improvement in the examined domain.

A study by Do et al [20] also found that there is a statistical trend for patients with sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) to have larger tongue sizes compared to patients without SDB, but cannot account for disease severity of SDB.

In addition, although this was only a statistical trend, participants did report specific criteria for the ascription of humanness ( Figure S1d ) considerably less often in the cognitive load experiments compared to the experiments with increased cognitive load, χ 2 (1) = 3.27, p = .07.

Stimulation mode was correctly identified above chance in the second of the two sessions; 65% of all participants correctly identified the stimulation mode, resulting in a statistical trend.

Meanwhile, a statistical trend was noted in the beta diversity among the different sample types within the Hanwoo group.
