“a weak trend”

The SSD in anurans shows a weak trend that is consistent with Rensch’s rule.

In full-heritage Pima subjects <18 years of age who had at least one non-diabetic exam and who then subsequently developed T2DM (Model 1), there was a weak trend that men, not women, with T allele were heavier, and genotype*gender interaction was borderline significant; however no significant gender interaction was observed in all full-heritage Pimas for all recorded BMI exams (Model 2) ( Table S1 ).

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 ).

Amplification of the TOP1 gene, representing a situation where CEN-20 is not involved in gene gain, exhibited a weak trend towards longer TTR when compared to the rest of the population, a finding which may be attributed to the low number of event in this particular subgroup.

In the oldest age group, there was a weak trend such that those with prior lower limb injuries had a somewhat higher injury incidence during MP training.

A larger cell typically has higher recovery, but this is a weak trend, with large variations in recovery between cells of similar size.

When comparing the top 150 frequent and bottom 150 keywords, we see a weak trend indicating that the top 150 keywords transfer from Twitter to Google more than the bottom 150 do.

Mean Tajima’s D over all genes was plotted for each population against latitude of origin, revealing a weak trend toward more positive values as one moves north.

As the figure indicates, a weak trend was observed in that subjects who showed larger improvements during Days 1–8 also showed larger interference, though, this was insignificant ( r = 0.513, p = 0.15).

Pooled data from all species indicated a weak trend towards elevated PUFAs at lower temperature.

Interestingly, lower CBF correlated with lower levels of fatigue at 3 months, alongside a weak trend for a reduction in CBF after 3 months of treatment with adalimumab.

Previous attempts to generalize across local/taxon specific studies have used vote counting (qualitative comparison of the number of studies showing significant and non-significant differences [ 3 , 22 ]), finding a weak trend towards greater seed dispersal capacity for introduced invasive species.

Eleven out of the twelve listeners performed better in the SYNCH than in the ASYNCH condition; the remaining listener showed only a weak trend in the opposite direction.

We found that the levels of sPECAM-1 and sP-selection were significantly decreased in ASD adults compared with controls [ 9 , 10 ], while sVCAM-1 showed a weak trend towards a lower level [ 10 ].

Results Linear regression for patients with type 1 diabetes revealed a weak trend towards higher doses of insulin reflecting lower HbA 1c values.

When comparing the two syndrome clusters in relation to gender using a chi-squared test, a weak trend suggested that women more commonly experienced depression with symptoms related to Spleen Deficiency whereas men's experience of depression was more likely to be related to Liver Qi Stagnation ( χ 2 = 3.98, df = 1, P = 0.046).

Compared to the WFR, the questionnaires had a larger underestimation, larger variance, and a weak trend of decreasing accuracy with increasing intakes.

WTAR scores and age also did not differ significantly (p>0.12; Table 1 ), but there was a weak trend toward higher WTAR and lower age in the ISO group.

The mean (± SD) alcohol lifetime alcohol consumption of the patients was 1038±828 kg, and they smoked a mean (± SD) of 17±13 cigarettes per day, yielding a weak trend towards correlation between individual alcohol and cigarette consumption (r = 0.27; n.s.).

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

However, in the natural environment, only a weak trend was obtained for static conditions (standing with a bike) and there was no correlation for dynamic conditions (during riding).

As can be seen, there is a weak trend for neck length to decrease relative to body mass.

A marginal 4-way interaction was present that in post-hoc analyses appeared to be primarily driven by a weak trend for a difference in the amount of interference (neutral vs. incongruent) for the attended auditory task only.

In a 21-week double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot study, 20 CeD patients inoculated with L3i or placebo and subjected to a 5-day oral wheat tolerance challenge displayed immune responses, with decreased inflammatory cytokines and a weak trend towards attenuation of a response to gluten [ 118 , 119 ].

Similarly, COX-2 mRNA was not significantly increased in tumor tissue versus mucosa tissue, which confirms our previous results [ 12 ], although there was a weak trend to increased COX-2 mRNA across tumor progression.
