“a weak trend”

There was no correlation between methylation levels of the TNF gene and any demographic or clinical variables, with the exception of age, which showed a weak trend for reduced methylation with age (rho = −0.440).

There was a weak trend in the extreme color categories (Figure 6 ), with “ultra‐light” and “light” coloration being seemingly more prevalent among males reared in high temperature (25°C) and “dark” coloration being seemingly more prevalent among females reared in low temperature (12°C).

Prognostic Impact of IgκC Expression The Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that a higher IgκC expression had a weak trend to be associated with a better outcome (longer MFS), although this effect did not reach the statistical significance level ( p = 0.35 Log Rank) ( Figure 1 ).

We found, in all cell lines analysed, a weak trend towards increasing clone dominance and decreasing diversity over time, as shown by the positive slope of the linear fit to the average H–H indexes, and a negative slope in the case of Shannon indexes, respectively (Fig. 2 e–g and Fig.

There was a weak trend towards reduced interconnectivity across the data as the number of samples increased, with the full dataset showing a slightly larger skew in the number of weakly interconnected samples than any of the subsets (Figure 6 ). 4 DISCUSSION 4.1 Is interconnectivity a better indicator of instability?

Furthermore, there is a weak trend in improved R 2 when more neighboring stations are available.

In total, we identified only 38 genes with a weak trend towards significant differences in variant localization and 30 genes with nominal significant differences in variant type for the two associated disorders.

In sharp contrast, although there was a weak trend in the increase of cell proliferation of the parietal bone in Ids -deficient cells, there was no significant difference between the proliferation of the osteoblast of the wild-type control and Ids -deficient mice ( Fig. 6 D), demonstrating that an enhanced growth of calvarial bone, in particular the parietal bone, was due to an enhanced differentiation to osteoblast from progenitor cells. 3.5.

In this regard, the ex-situ conserved barley landraces considered formed eight major genetic clusters with a weak trend of association between or among accessions from the same geographic location of collection and vice versa.

On the genus level, the lower abundance was observed primarily in Alistipes (100%—three non-RCTs [ 30 , 43 , 49 ]), while a weak trend for higher abundance was observed in Bacteroides (50%—one RCT [ 8 ] and four non-RCTs [ 31 , 46 , 48 , 52 ], with the last one observed only in B. coprococcus and B. vulgaris and one elevated only in B.fragilis vs. 50%—five non-RCTs [ 29 , 30 , 36 , 49 , 52 ], with the last one observed only in B. fragilis ).

There is a weak trend showing the self-management group to be more slightly more motivated to continue tapering at later timepoints.

With the addition of BMPQ-1, the positive signal peak at 260 nm for oligonucleotides Bom17 and Bom37 was changed to a negative signal peak at 265 nm, and the negative signal peak at 285 nm was altered to a positive signal peak at 295 nm, and there was a weak trend towards a positive signal peak at a wavelength of 248 nm.

However, there was a weak trend showing continued photoreceptor loss several months following treatment, as measured by the number of nuclei in the outer nuclear layer (Fig. 1E ).

The azimuth angle fluctuated from 35.84° in 1998 to 19.01° in 2019, indicating that there was a weak trend of the PM 2.5 spatial distribution pattern shifting to the “north-south” direction, which means that Jiaozuo city, Xinxiang city, and their surrounding areas, which are roughly located in the northern Henan Province, have a slightly stronger air pollution level than the northeastern part.

Metformin treatment had no significant effect on IL-2 secretion after 24h, although a weak trend may be noted towards higher IL-2 levels at both 0.3 mM and 5 mM ( Figure 10C ; Supplementary Figure 7G ).

In radish, the direction of these changes is generally similar, but expressed as a weak trend.

In both cases, there was a weak trend towards reduced EE differentiation.

We observed a weak trend whereby longer transcripts are better enriched (Fig. 4b and Supplementary Fig. 4c ).

36 However, when the temperature was raised to 50 °C, the acid leaching efficiency of HCl and HAc solution was reduced to 68.73% and 29.83%, and at the temperature of 60 °C, the leaching efficiency of HCl and HAc solution was similar to that at 50 °C and also had a weak trend of decline.

In contrast to the pattern revealed for decomposition, we found no significant differences among leaf litter mixtures for fungal biomass, with only a weak trend towards higher biomass in healthy alder.

Overall, there might be a weak trend towards earlier diagnoses with the test.

There is a weak trend between the size of the orbital and the binding energy: For the anions of 2,6-dicyanonaphthalene and in particular tetracyanobenzene, which have larger binding energies than the other quadrupole-bound anions, the Dyson orbital is somewhat more compact.

After treatment with maqui extract, both post- and pre-Treatment groups, showed a weak trend to down-regulated immune + -NF-кB staining and intensity of the cytosolic NF-кB staining in epithelial cells ( Figures 4C, D ), which was not statistically significant ( Figure 4E ).

However, there is only a weak trend (rs = −0.20).

After 36 weeks of the assessed TFP, a weak trend toward increase in absolute EDSS scores was noted.
