“a weak trend”

Still, no statistical significance was found except for a weak trend regarding reduced visual impairment.

In a 21-week double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot study, 20 CeD patients inoculated with L3i or placebo and subjected to a 5-day oral wheat tolerance challenge displayed immune responses, with decreased inflammatory cytokines and a weak trend towards attenuation of a response to gluten [ 118 , 119 ].

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 ).

When the shell length of mortalities is plotted against the number of days held at 26°C, there was no relationship between mussel size and ‘days to death’ aside from a weak trend for family B ( Supplementary Figure S1 , R 2 = 0.092).

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.

However, behavioral allocation at the end of each block did show a weak trend to progressively become less extreme as reversal experience accumulated (Fig. 4b, bins 4 and 5), and the weight of cumulative past reinforcement may be a contributing factor in this.

Cells within knob regions of the same tissues exhibited only a weak trend toward higher expression of these proteins as shaft length increased [ Figs. 4(c) and 4(e) ].

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 .

We recognize a weak trend that a small φ HOH seems to lead to low T evap , with SPC being the outlier from this trend.

Interestingly, a weak trend for ground cooling is suggested by the parameter number of days with a mean temperature below 0°C.

1 , 41 In fact, we rather observed a weak trend to increased intracellular Ca 2+ release, especially at higher stimulation frequencies, and moreover, we observed clear myofilament Ca 2+ sensitization in the intracellular [Ca 2+ ] range where the in vivo contraction occurs, 1 with marked exaggeration in the lowest [Ca 2+ ] where early‐phase contraction occurs, following acute exercise.

We found no effect of total drinking bouts per bat on the total mass loss for bats and, except for a weak trend relating initial body mass and total drinking bouts per bat, there was no clear effect of initial body mass on drinking behaviour.

There was a weak trend, but significant overall (Table 3 ) of defoliation increasing soil microbial biomass C (Figure 3a ) and decreasing the ratio of fungal to bacterial PLFA (Figure 3a ).

During the period of clinical improvement, the mean levels of IFN-γ t=2.39, p=0.017 decreased statistically significantly and there is a weak trend for a decrease in IL17 and TNF-α compared to the concentration during relapse.

Cers1 knockdown in differentiating mouse muscle cells showed only a weak trend to reduce mTORC1 and its downstream targets (new Fig S4A).

For RFS, there is a weak trend favoring the Cy-pretreated participants (HR 0.79, 95% CI, 0.52 to 1.19, Supplementary Fig. 1B ).

Nevertheless, we observe a weak trend to higher T PEX rate in CD4+ GMTC compared to UTC, which could be further investigated.

Nonetheless, there was a weak trend toward reduced epithelial damage caused by colonizing strains (irrespective of the multiplicity of infection [MOI] used), compared to VVC pathogenic strains ( Fig. 4A and B ).

Spatially, DiPPR gene abundance showed a weak trend of being greater in western Sound than in central and eastern Sound ( Figure 3 C).

Although BCIs for the odds ratios generally overlapped for different treatment frequencies and dissemination methods, there was a weak trend for the odds of a positive examination result to decrease as the number of treatments increased.

Similarly, meta-analysis of multiple experimental mouse studies, which examined only Aβ or the ratio of Aβ 42 to Aβ 40 found a weak trend with cognition [ 18 ].

A statistically significant difference was found only for the duration of the sensors placed on the Fridge Door and the Food Cabinet in Task 3 – Snack Preparation, while a weak trend was observed for the Fridge Door sensor in Task 1 – Meal Preparation ( Table 5 ).

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 ).

(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.

In the case of Br and I , the data at the end of the titration show a weak trend toward a positive heat of injection that might reflect a secondary process; given its minor contribution to the overall titration curve we did not attempt to model this effect.
