“a statistical trend”

The correlation coefficient between cognitive screening scores and years of education (shown in Table 2 ) revealed a significant relationship between MMSE and CLOX2 scores, Mungas correction of MMSE and both CLOX1 and CLOX2 scores, and a statistical trend association between CLOX1 and CLOX2 scores.

A reduction in inhibitory drive to the middle population was observed with a statistical trend.

In order to assess if a statistical trend in performance of oHI existed by virtue of a step-wise increase in % EQ-Tran, we conducted the Jonckheere-Terpstra test [ 31 ].

Worse cartilage scores at the MFC and a statistical trend for increased WORMS total scores were found in subjects with ACL reconstruction, independent of muscle characteristics.

[ 88 ] observed a statistical trend in correlation between carotid artery IMT and autoantibodies against oxidized LDL.

There was also a statistical trend for AVG2 to yield higher percent signal change than the short TR scan, indicating that averaging of consecutively acquired EPI volumes resulted in improved fMRI signal compared with simply accelerating the acquisition speed.

Differences among the groups were considered significant when p-value < 0.05 while p-values ranging from 0.05 to 0.10 was denoted as a statistical trend since they were also biologically relevant, as previously demonstrated [ 29 ].

In the healthy participants, a statistical trend suggested a strong positive relation between IAc and IAw, which probably did not reach significative levels due to the small sample size.

In addition, a statistical trend test (SAS procedure REG) was performed to assess a possible dose-related increase of micronucleated cells.

Consequently, there was a statistically significant increase of the patella shift in unloaded conditions when patients with PFI were compared to volunteers with healthy knees from 0° to 15° knee flexion and a statistical trend in 30° flexion.

The differences in cytokine levels after consuming APR extract versus placebo included an increase in Interferon gamma-induced protein-10 (IP-10) and Monocyte Chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), reaching statistical significance after 1 hour for IP-10 and a statistical trend after 1 hour for MCP-1 ( Fig 3 ).

A p ‐value below 0.05 was considered statistically significant, while a p ‐value ranging from 0.05 to 0.10 was regarded as indicative of a statistical trend. 3.

Results Monocyte cytokine responses to CHCs While examining the ability of CHCs to stimulate production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by unprimed human monocytes, we observed significant secretion of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 ( Fig 1A–1C ), and a statistical trend towards IL-8 secretion ( Fig 1E ).

However, it has to be emphasized that parsimony is valid (at best) as a statistical trend, i.e. for the majority of genes in a large ensemble.

It was demonstrated that presenting with CS was numerically associated with poorer outcomes and excess 30-day mortality, yet with a statistical trend.

We did not find higher levels of symptoms of social phobia among our patients; however, there was a statistical trend towards this.

Results General Characteristics: Two-way ANOVA tests demonstrated significant ethanol effects on blood alcohol concentration (BAC), body weight, and brain weight, significant exposure duration effects on body weight, brain weight, and liver weight, and a statistical trend-wise effect of exposure duration on BAC ( Table 1 ).

of 50% but it was only a statistical trend.

Probability values were considered significant at the 5 % level and P values ≥ 0.05 but < 0.1 were considered to indicate a statistical trend.

Hence, the neural cue representations identified in our study may at least partially contain information about the reward pattern associated with each cue (although we only found a statistical trend in favor of this assumption in our data), in addition to information about the subjective distance between associated goal locations.

The CA125-guided therapy led to better kidney function at 72 hours and a statistical trend to lower 30-day adverse outcomes.

The p -values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant, p -values < 0.01 were considered as a statistical trend.

Likewise, the inverse of 3‐h uNa + showed a better discriminative ability than the inverse of 3‐h changes in uNa + ( Figure 2 B ) and a statistical trend to best performance than baseline uNa + ( Figure 2 C ).

As to years of education, there was a statistically significant difference for DAT genotype and a statistical trend for 5 - HTT genotype.

However, in patients with LAA-stroke caused by ECAS, only a statistical trend was observed between the two groups, with no significant difference (Fig. 2 ).
