On the other hand, there was an expected trend towards obtaining faster confluence for high cell numbers when using ED compared to TEC, especially at low passages, but again this was not statistically significant.

All reactions followed an expected trend, asymptotically approaching full conversion with increasing reaction time.

The other 3 pretraining datasets follow an expected trend regarding the relationship between the image domain of the source task and the downstream performance.

The values obtained for both the FIA and the GEI are generally well correlated and increase in an expected trend for Lewis acids bearing increasingly electron‐withdrawing groups (see Supporting Information).
