“a weak trend”

However, the choice of platform was insignificant and only those trials located in SMD showed a weak trend of increased citations.

A weak trend towards a positive correlation was observed between CRP levels and cough duration ( r = 0.143), CD4 cell count ( r = 0.25) and oxygen saturation ( r = 0.121) although this remained non-significant.

Neuronal-specific EZH2 knockout exhibited only a weak trend toward improvement in gut microbiota—mediated anxiety-like behaviors, suggesting a potential, albeit limited, link between EZH2 and anxiety phenotypes.

In our heterogeneous PICU population, body temperature showed only a weak trend toward association with CRP and no association with serum sodium.

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 ).

Although not significant, a non-white ethnicity showed a weak trend.

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 also shows thinner cartilage in the dorsal ulnar (0.41 ± 0.12 mm) region of the trapezium in advanced-stage OA TMC joints compared to the younger (0.66 ± 0.09 mm, P = 0.088) and elder (0.66 ± 0.08 mm, P = 0.086) healthy/early-stage OA TMC joints, as well as in the volar radial (0.47 ± 0.05 mm) region of the trapezium in advanced-stage OA specimens when compared to the elder healthy/early-stage OA group (0.86 ± 0.08 mm, P = 0.083) (Fig. 3 ).

In a study performed by Seagle et al, it was found that lymph node positivity showed a weak trend toward a strongly negative prognostic association.

Conversely, a weak trend between MW and toxicity suggests that heavier compounds are less toxic.

However, SNP rs2829806 showed a weak trend towards a significant association.

This last hypothesis is consistent with our fecundity model selection results, which showed a weak trend for average fecundity to decline during winters with thin snowpack (high PDO values) while breeding effort did not.

2 E and A), but there was a weak trend for a decrease in ESV (IA: 11.45 μ L vs.

It is evident that there is a weak trend of increasing the energy with smaller device area, with μBLASTs exceeding 1 fJ/μm 2 in energy dissipation, but the results still indicate that device scaling still greatly benefits the devices.

[ 20 ] found that a weak trend for regional ADC decline was shown in all regions which didn’t reach statistical significance with brain development.

Notably, a weak trend toward mutualism (+/+) emerged between E. coli and B. uniformis .

Revisiting the effect of silica shell thickness, a weak trend is observed of increasing harmonic content in both clustered and non-clustered samples as t S increases.

There is a weak trend when using all of the data for the MFSP against the fermentable carbohydrate mass fraction overall.

Notably, tryptophan did not produce effects opposite to escitalopram but showed only a weak trend in the same direction.

Similar to the situation for the xylose conformers, a weak trend of increasing DFT energies with the BOSS/CREST predicted counterparts emerges, as shown in Figure 4 .

While we found no effect of optical stimulation of DRN DAT terminals on locomotion or time in center in the OFT ( Figure 3—figure supplement 1 ), we found stimulation of DRN DAT terminals in the BNST (but not in the CeA or BLP) resulted in a weak trend toward increased time spent in the open arm of the EPM ( Figure 3A–C ), which can be interpreted as exploratory behavior linked with a vigilant state ( Rodgers and Dalvi, 1997 ).

Interestingly, we observed a weak trend showing that libraries having higher depth of sequencing tend to show less efficient exome enrichment.

In the mixed adsorption( Fig 2B ), these was a weak trend: adsorption amount of light rare earth was more than heavy rare earths.

In the group of glycerides, no significant alterations were observed; there was only a weak trend of higher TG levels in wildtype samples (Table S4 ).

Since GCR expression and serum cortisol were not related or had only a weak trend (in the subgroup that did not receive corticosteroids), we next categorized patients into groups of high or low cortisol and high or low GCR expression.
