“a weak trend”

There was a weak trend toward the improved ranking of the ICUs admitting more PODs after excluding the PODs from the whole study population ( eFig. 4 , http://links.lww.com/CCM/H450 ).

We observed no significant difference in frequencies of NK cells during primary infection between seronegative, serodiscordant and seropositive individuals (p = 0.41; Figure S3B ) although a weak trend to greater frequencies in seronegative individuals was present.

Their meta-analysis also indicated a strong association between positive margins and higher recurrence in malignant PTs, with only a weak trend observed in benign and borderline PTs.

The PM × pollution interaction showed a weak trend but did not meet conventional significance thresholds ( P ≈ 0.07).

They clearly indicated superior efficacy in the PAOD‐group, only (see Table 1 ), suggesting that overall superiority was achieved mainly by the fact that a weighted average has been calculated (loosely speaking) from a strongly positive treatment effect in PAOD (risk difference –1.9% in favor of clopidogrel), a weak trend in patients with previous stroke (risk difference –1.0% in favor of clopidogrel) and a borderline neutral effect in patients with previous myocardial infarction (risk difference 0.3% in favor of aspirin).

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

(2018) did not observe significant differences preceding stuttered versus fluent productions using MEG but found a weak trend for delayed motor beta suppression preceding stuttered speech.

There was no evidence for equivalent associations in Pakistani-origin women, other than in complete-case analysis a weak trend toward lower postload glucose levels with more mid-pregnancy physical activity ( p trend = 0.094; see Supplementary File 2).

With an alpha level of p = 0.10 the results revealed no statistical significance but a weak trend toward the external attentional focus yielding marginally better performance.

We observed a weak trend of P2 -192C>G producing increased FL levels compared with the P2 WT promoter for overexpressed HNF-1A, but the difference was absent when probing for activities of endogenous HNF-1A ( Figure 7B ).

There was a weak trend (60% of the trees) for the Smar, the population farthest to the South within Tunisia among the seven Tunisian locales sampled, to separate from the six other North African populations.

From the observation of the variables in Table 4 , a weak trend of mildly elevated values is observed in the patients with positive culture in comparison with the patients with negative culture, but this comparison cannot be strongly supported.

There was a weak trend that combining data over repeated fMRI sessions improved the classification of patients, hence it might be reasonable to perform the study on more than one occasion.

14 , 15 Exposure‐effect relationships Relative to placebo, the SDLP increments and daridorexant plasma concentrations showed a weak trend for correlation ( Figure S5 ; i.e., SDLP increased minimally with increasing plasma concentrations after initial dosing on day 2), with a less pronounced trend for correlation after repeated dosing on day 5.

There was a weak trend between high levels of depressive symptoms and lower scores in reaction time, but the association did not survive the Bonferroni correction for multiple testing.

Taking both tests into account, Leadership score was the least relevant, having no effect in the competitive test, and only having a weak trend in the non-competitive test.

If anything, there was a weak trend that effort and prices were lower within the Channel Islands during the unlimited season, which reflects the fact that this unlimited time-period contained the months with the lowest GSI ( Fig 2 ).

Opposite to all other survival analyses, this effect was predominantely due to ER positive cases, with only a weak trend in ER negative patients.

Second, there was a weak trend indicating that higher symptom severity at admission, as measured by the HoNOS score, might be associated with increased dropout risk (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.99-1.15; P =.08), though this finding did not reach statistical significance ( Table 3 ).

Consistent with these findings, we also observed a weak trend for a decline in FA in the hippocampal cingulum bundle, a key component of the limbic system involved in communication with the hippocampus.

The absence of correlation with tic severity and a weak trend for interaction with severity of premonitory urges do not lend strong support to this hypothesis.

If the dots were distributed randomly and not even a weak trend of increasing effort with decreasing SNRs was observed visually, the participant received re-instruction and a second practice test.

There is a weak trend for primary nucleation rates to fall with construct length (Fig. 2b ); more strikingly, we see a jump between two relatively constant levels in the rate of the secondary process (Fig. 2c ) between αSN130 and αSN125 (we attribute the low k n value of αSN115 to a fitting artifact in which a low k n value is compensated by a higher k - value).

An average reaction time in session one showed a weak trend of faster correct answers for the VR group, but the results did not reach significance (p > = 0.1).

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 ].
