“a weak trend”

However, the dose–response patterns were inconsistent, although a weak trend could be seen for grain dust and fungal spore exposure.

Similarly, a weak trend toward a decrease in levels of lipase following GLP‐1 infusion compared to placebo was observed.

There was a weak trend for more copying in the narrow than wide condition, although as in previous experiments social information was generally underutilized.

Interestingly, there was a weak trend in the association between the rs662799 polymorphism and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis in CHD-free women, but not in men (data not shown).

Overall, there was a weak trend for the scFvs with Vκ to have lower Tms than those with Vλ ( Table 3 ).

Mean serum belimumab concentration profiles were similar for both devices, with a weak trend toward higher concentrations for thigh injection compared with abdominal injections.

( 2011 ) only observed a weak trend when they correlated PFC oxy-Hb and WM performance.

While not a predictor for either HBV or HCV, the overall group of patients showed a weak trend toward increased knowledge with lower age.

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.

There was a weak trend observed in PK vs. body weight.

At high density, there was a weak trend towards later and smaller maturation in both sexes.

HLA-A2 + patients with high preexisting immunity had statistically significant longer mPFS than allele carriers with low ( p = 0.0191), whereas a weak trend for improved PFS was observed between the HLA-A2 + and HLA-A2 − patients with high preexisting immunity.

Association between utilities and threshold questions We found a weak trend (Table 5 ) for negative correlations with threshold questions for the scenarios A to D and the same tendency for the scenarios E and F, but without significant differences between the scenarios.

Although the association was not statistically significant, there was a weak trend that patients with a lower mean daily glucose level (≤140 mg/dL) were more likely to have a lower GFR.

All groups showed a weak trend for representing cumulative area in addition to number.

APDQ Multiple regression analysis of overall scores showed a weak trend towards lower scores in assessment of attitudes towards patients with a previous diagnosis of BPD compared with patients with a previous diagnosis of depression (lower scores indicate more negative attitudes in the APDQ and this is consistent with findings from the Appleby measure); however, this difference fell just short of statistical significance ( z = 1.75, P = 0.08).

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.

autosomal genes, there was a weak trend toward upregulation, though this failed to reach statistical significance in all three upSET mutant cell lines ( Figure 6, D–F , second bar).

With limited data sets at hand, while CDKN1A shows a clear, direct, and linear dose response with postirradiation period at all doses of radiation exposure [Figure 3a – c ], ZNF440 shows a weak trend of inverse response for most doses of radiation exposures [Figure 3d – f ].

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 ).

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.

Depressive symptoms were stable over time, with a weak trend towards increasing severity for the moderate-severe group.

It was interpreted according to Cohen (1988) for correlation coefficients where an absolute value of τ ≥ 0.5 indicates a strong trend; 0.3 ≤ τ < 0.5 indicates a moderate trend and 0.1 ≤ τ < 0.3 indicates a weak trend.

No major differences in serum VEGF concentrations were found between the groups (median 70 and 50 pg/mL, Table 3 ), although there was a weak trend for higher levels in the HTx group.
