“a weak trend”

( 32 ) showed that some patients with MCS could learn statistical regularities in trisyllabic pseudowords when presented with structured versus random auditory streams, whereas patients with UWS showed only a weak trend.

11 a weak trend was observed with regards to the performance in the quizzes being indicative of the subsequent exam performance.

Pursuit function In the smooth pursuit measures, the PCA and typical Alzheimer’s disease groups did not differ from one another, with both groups showing lower gain than the healthy controls and an increased frequency of intrusive saccades (although there was a weak trend to lower pursuit gain in PCA than typical Alzheimer’s disease).

Moreover, there is only a weak trend for the net solvent contribution to become more unfavorable as the solute–solute Lennard-Jones interaction becomes more favorable.

There was a weak trend for a three-way interaction between age, object presence, and cue condition, which raises issues of power and whether the sample size was sufficient to detect age differences in the magnitude of the two forms of IOR.

(1) In the general interaction effect analysis, the central region shows a comparatively weak trend in promoting urban ecological efficiency to digital financial technology, and the eastern region shows a weak trend in the promotion of digital financial technology to ecological efficiency.

After treatment with maqui extract, both post- and pre-Treatment groups, showed a weak trend to down-regulated immune + -NF-кB staining and intensity of the cytosolic NF-кB staining in epithelial cells ( Figures 4C, D ), which was not statistically significant ( Figure 4E ).

Patients with a decrease in ctDNA of ≥50% after bortezomib did not have improved PFS compared with those with a <50% decrease (median, 3.5 years [95% CI, 1.9-2.9] vs 1.9 years [95% CI, 1.7-7.6]; P = .18), but these patients did demonstrate a weak trend toward improved PFS (supplemental Figure 10).

Similarly, meta-analysis of multiple experimental mouse studies, which examined only Aβ or the ratio of Aβ 42 to Aβ 40 found a weak trend with cognition [ 18 ].

In this study the abs∆ PKG increase with disease duration, which is similar to reports of others using abs∆ UPDRS [ 4 , 34 ], whereas the abs∆ UPDRS showed only a weak trend to increase with disease and possibly the variation between different clinical reporters of the UPDRS III may have obscured this trend.

There appeared to be a weak trend for frequency of cervical CD4 + cells expressing activation and integrin markers to mostly increase from D0 to 25 W, in both contraceptive arms, but more so for DMPA‐IM than NET‐EN.

Consistent with previous results indicating that the bright materials are less weathered 21 , our data retain a weak trend of high albedo features systematically containing a weaker 3 μm feature than the surrounding dark terrain.

They found no statistically significant interaction effects on relevant behavioural outcomes, with only the possibility of a weak trend in this direction being discernible in the case of alcohol use frequency [29] .

This suggests that, although these metrics are both modestly adjusted for BMI, a weak trend toward decreasing values for BMI‐adjusted amplitude and GA‐RI remains with higher BMI.

A weak trend in the opposite direction was evident between asset index and TB.

There was a weak trend toward an interaction ( b = −0.9 and b = −0.12 with and without problem type as a random effect, p values ranging from 0.137 to 0.068), indicating that, if anything, those with lower SM scores showed better retention. 3.4.

A strong trend defined as “ r ” = 0.60 to 0.79 and a weak trend was defined as any “ r ” value less than 0.60.

Although notstrictly verified, 40 Ar/ 39 Ar cooling ages provide a weak trend with a 612–602 Ma age cluster in the northeastern part of the Arabian Shield and ages around 580 Ma in the northwest (Table 1 in Johnson et al., 2011 ).

A French study (The POLA study), in the south of France, showed an association of annual ambient solar radiation with cortical and mixed cataracts (mainly cortical and nuclear) and a weak trend for nuclear cataracts [ 16 ].

1 , 41 In fact, we rather observed a weak trend to increased intracellular Ca 2+ release, especially at higher stimulation frequencies, and moreover, we observed clear myofilament Ca 2+ sensitization in the intracellular [Ca 2+ ] range where the in vivo contraction occurs, 1 with marked exaggeration in the lowest [Ca 2+ ] where early‐phase contraction occurs, following acute exercise.

A weak trend was found for “Negative” tweets that decreased firstly and began to increase later; an opposite trend was identified for “Positive” tweets.

We calculated the mean distance to centroid of morphospace 20 across morphospace for all bird species, where species from each IUCN threatened category were dropped (critically endangered [CR] > endangered [EN] > vulnerable [VU] > near threatened [NT]) and found a weak trend of species tending to be closer to the center of morphospace ( Figure 1 ).

In particular, the PV+ population did not undergo the robust between-session increase in surround suppression and reduction in preferred stimulus size observed in excitatory neurons, although it did exhibit a weak trend in this direction.

There was also a weak trend between microbial growth and thrombus accumulation (Figure 4 ).

Although the mRNA expression levels of HRAS showed no significant difference compared with the model group, there was a weak trend ( Figure 7H ).
