“a weak trend”

Like the mean comparisons, the variance comparisons indicated that the holistic group has a weak trend of significantly greater standard deviations compared to the analytic group ( Fig. 4 ).

Namely, there was a weak trend toward an increase in the number of AAS types per clinical case.

HLA-B*08:01 with radiographic SI and asymmetric/unilateral patterns; only a weak trend and non-significant for B27 in one analysis), rather than to progression rates over time [ 19 , 38 ].

Compared with other clustering coefficients, Clustering w(Z) showed a weak trend both in overall data and within individual organizations, suggesting again the high contribution of interactions between people with a high frequency of direct interaction.

Figure 6 b shows a weak trend of a larger trough in the impulse function of psoriasis compared to healthy skin, but after emollient is applied the trough for the impulse function becomes smaller than that of healthy skin.

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.

Based on microbial metaproteins and families, only a separation between controls and the diseased was possible by the ANOSIM, and a weak trend in the PCAs was observable ( Figure 1 ).

There may be a weak trend of larger intrapulmonary lymph nodes among patients with more advanced stages of COPD.

Analysis of the HIC time course in experiment 1 showed a weak trend toward increased HIC scores in mice overexpressing Glo1 on a B6 background, but this difference did not reach the threshold for statistical significance.

(2018) found a positive relationship between soil pH and yield response in their meta-analysis for P solubilizers in combination with N fixers, while for N fixers alone and P solubilizers alone, no and only a weak trend was found respectively.

Again suggesting a weak trend in declining MI with distance for rd10 pairs that may be obscured by heterogeneity in RGCs responses.

While the relationship between terrain position/prevalent soil type and exported carbon by the fourth harvest shows a weak trend, the dependency becomes more obvious when the development of dry phytomass over the entire growing season is taken into account.

A P -value of 0.05 is considered “marginally significant”, indicating a weak trend of statistical association rather than no association at all.

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.

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).

For cells from each of three FSHD donors, the frequency of DUX4-FL-positive nuclei showed a weak trend to lower frequency of expression at higher passages and population doublings ( R 2 = 0.16 for 07Abic, 0.32 for 09Abic, and 0.39 for 17Abic).

As shown in Supplementary Figures S5 and S6 , we find a weak trend for the general TFs and core promoter motifs to occur preferentially in CpG-rich promoters.

A weak trend of higher BMF content among older subjects was observed in all three groups, but did not reach statistical significance among these individual datasets.

During the green up (DAS 61), only a weak trend was found.

Therapeutic Treatment Nintedanib treatment resulted in a weak trend towards reduced body weight (< 5% at 60 mg/kg/day) compared with control or CCL 4 -only treated animals from both days 7 and 14 (data not shown).

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).

Pocillopora fragments displayed a slight, non-significant decline in growth compared to Pocillopora colonies (Estimate = − 0.060, SE = 0.034, t = − 1.80, p = 0.072), indicating only a weak trend toward slower growth.

We then attempted to relate poor outcome to a specific genotype but found no significant differences for T41A, S45F, or S45P mutants, although the 45F mutation did seem to show a weak trend of significance for poorer outcome.

Glucosamine sulfate, which reportedly activates the anabolic genes of chondrocytes [ 32 ], showed a weak trend in restoring the expression of the anabolic genes, except for XYLT1.

Exploratory, uncorrected analyses suggested a weak trend toward negative correlations in the right insula and right amygdala, which could indicate that higher stress levels are associated with greater variability in neural responses to ASMR videos.
