Consistent with previous findings [ 11 ], these EDR proteins showed a trend towards overall upregulated expression, particularly as early as MOD.

Treatment of LIFR inhibitor, EC359, also showed a trend toward reduced fibrosis, but not statistically significant in the CCl 4 ‐treated mice (Figure 3G ).

(4) When the 12m_M and 12m_S groups were compared, the differences in the F/B ratio and bacterial community similarity showed a trend but did not reach statistical significance.

Interestingly, the bulk mechanical property (Young's moduli) of the membranes showed a trend opposite to that of the surface nanomechanical property (DMT moduli).

pruinosa leaves under different groundwater depth conditions showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing over time, showing significant seasonal differences ( Figure 3a ).

Preoperative drug use was evaluated and it was shown that statin and metformin use was associated with higher serum vitamin B12 levels among drug groups after Bonferroni correction, while beta-blocker use showed a trend that did not reach statistical significance after correction.

Differential expression analysis of self‐collected specimens revealed no statistically significant differential expression of MERTK , MSR1 , or TNFSF12 between carcinoma (Ca) and adjacent normal (Adj) tissues (Figure 9 D); however, expression levels in carcinoma samples showed a trend of increase compared to adjacent tissues across all three genes.

Similarly, the neurosensory cluster showed a trend toward accelerated cognitive decline that did not reach statistical significance.

Soil N: P showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing, which was consistent with the trend of N: P ratio in rhizosphere soil of Pinus massoniana Lamb. plantation in southern China ( Xu et al., 2022 ).

The QOL assessment showed a trend toward less postoperative pain at 3 months in the TE group.

However, in patients with moderate to severe AKI and higher SOFA scores, there was no significant difference in survival prognosis between treatment modalities, and the CKRT group even showed a trend toward better survival.
