“a weak trend”

Also, the PC scores PC2, PC3, and PC4 showed a weak trend for correlation with the number of female clicks (R = −0.316, −0.272, −0.278, respectively).

While a weak trend is apparent for faster genes to have higher utility (ca. 40% increase in utility with a fourfold increase in rate), it is obvious that variability in the results is much greater and likely reflects intrinsic differences not captured by their average nonsynonymous rate.

A weak trend to more lipid deposition with younger age was not reflected by gene expression analysis of the adipogenic marker Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) in cells from the five youngest and five oldest donors of the study ( Fig. 3G ).

There was a weak trend for the Hypo-GB cohort to have a larger relative reduction of insulin secretion with Ex-9 than the Asym-GB subjects, and the small sample in this study limits statistical power.

Overall, the branch model results, which only allow for a constant ω parameter across sites, suggest a weak trend where evolutionary rates might be elevated in USP/RXR along the Mecopterida lineage.

In agreement with some authors 33 and in disagreement with others, 25 , 26 there seems to be, in our series, a weak trend towards lower ratios for FISH than for brightfield ISH.

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] .

At the same time, the steric contour illustrated a weak trend for a reducing chain length to steadily improve the compound’s potency.

While we did not detect a statistically significant association for PhIP, there was a weak trend toward increasing risk.

The same gene showed a weak trend of association in an independent sample of individuals with dyslexia.

There was evidence for a weak trend in Zone E with the lower CI = 0 ( Fig. 4a ).

There is a weak trend for luminance to attenuate imagery and visual working memory performance.

A weak trend can be seen on the organisation scale: students who are supervised by trained tutors are a little better organised in their learning (factor score in learning organisation 0115 vs. 0.122, p=0.16).

However, we found a weak trend of the core area of home range size to increase with decreasing biomass of preferred plants, suggesting that females adjust the size of the core area of their home range to the amount of resources they can obtain.

There was a weak trend towards increased reporting of carpal tunnel syndrome amongst HBM cases.

also showed that initial survival after CPR improved significantly with the CPR-trained emergency team (18.4–30%).[ 6 ] Although a previous study by Olasveengen reported a weak trend with survival to discharge rates improving only from 11% to 13% after implementation of the modified 2005 CPR guidelines, the study by Moretti et al . reported a statistically significant increase in survival to discharge in patients resuscitated by the CPR team having an ACLS-trained personnel versus the team having no ACLS personnel (20.6% vs. 31.7%).[ 6 14 ] Our study also reports markedly improved survival to hospital discharge rates (23.1% vs. 69.1%) after formal BLS/ACLS training ( P < 0.0001).

It indicates a weak trend of increased methylation being associated with decreased gene expression.

Strength training and impact activities (like walking or running) can help to offset the decline of bone mineral density and prevent osteoporosis.[ 12 ] It also reduces low back pain.[ 13 ] It is proven to help reduce stress and improve the mood.[ 14 ] It may help to reduce hot flashes, thereby minimizing the “Domino effect.” Although no conclusive evidence was derived from randomized controlled trials on whether exercise is an effective treatment for reducing hot flushes and night sweats in menopausal women, the latest Cochrane review did find a weak trend for exercise to be more effective than no intervention.[ 15 ] GETTING STARTED It is never too late to start exercising.

ER- tumors in three out of four (p<0.001) while one study [10] showed a weak trend in the same direction ( Table 2 ).

The mean dN/dS of each isolate in comparison with the last common ancestor was approximately 0.66, suggesting that there has been a weak trend towards stabilizing selection since the occurrence of the MRCA) of S.

A weak trend of HLA-DR expression recovery is associated with increased risk of secondary infection in ICU patients, such that the lower the slope of HLA-DR expression recovery is, the higher the incidence of first secondary infection will be [ 20 ].

No significant genotype correlation with the fasting glucose concentrations or the basal β-cell insulin secretion index (HOMA-B) was observed in the DESIR cohort ( Table 1 ); only a weak trend of association was observed for HOMA-B when regression was not adjusted for BMI ( Table S1 ).

There was very little differentiation among subpopulations and a weak trend of increasing differentiation with geographic distance.

A weak trend of Northern European accessions for later flowering and lower vigor in Y1 was observed ( Figure 8 ). 3.2.4 Breeding material and cultivars adapted to local environmental conditions To find signs of local adaptation in red clover breeding materials, the performance of accessions belonging to the type ‘breeding material’ or ‘cultivar’ and grouped by their geographic origin, were compared in the different trial locations across Europe ( Figure 9 ).

concluded that a weak trend for better outcomes was observed in patients undergoing intrapleural fibrinolysis after medical thoracoscopy compared with those who underwent medical thoracoscopy only ( 16 ).
