“showed a trend”

Data for men showed a trend to an increased frequency of both MTHFR 677 and 1298 variant genotypes in GC cases, while women showed a possible GC risk reduction associated with the homozygous variant MTHFR 1298CC genotype.

Each factor also showed a trend of increasing mean score ranging from the lowest level to the highest level of instrumental research use, indicating construct validity.

The statistical analyses showed a trend towards lower feasibility of adequate visualisation of pRCA and mRCA and a trend towards higher feasibility of visualisation of pCx and mCx when the Cx was the dominant coronary artery.

With respect to dendritic length, the EE paradigm showed a trend to increase the total length in WT mice, but these changes did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 5G ).

Additional analyses were carried out on four variants that showed a trend for association ( PALB2 c.1592delT, 1674A>G, 2993G>A and 3300T>G).

A possible link between possible changes of the RAAS and the HPA system in depression was further demonstrated by the significant increase in aldosterone secretion after administration of the glucocorticoid receptor agonist dexamethasone in healthy female subjects, whereas in depressed females aldosterone showed a trend to a decrease [ 32 ].

The overall hospitalization rate showed a trend of decrease similar to that shown in Fig. 1 : from 9.85 hospitalizations per 1000 in 2002 to 6.95 hospitalizations in 2006.

Stress-Regulated miR-134 and miR-183 Are Both Predicted to Target Stress-Responsive Transcripts miR-134 and miR-183 were both upregulated by acute stress in the central amygdala; mir-134 additionally showed a trend of downregulation following chronic stress in both the central amygdala and the hippocampus CA1 region (Table 1 , Fig. 1a ).

A comparison showed a trend of sequence variability and copy number being positively correlated, and a trend of sequence variability and length of repeat being negative correlation [ 36 ], but data sets from further species are needed in order assess if these trends reflect general patterns.

Of these, two showed a trend favoring single-dose SRS + WBRT [ 54 , 56 ] and one a trend favoring resection + WBRT [ 55 ].

The expression of epithelial genes such as ACPP, AZGP1 (zinc α2-glycoprotein), KLK2/hK2, KLK3, and MSMB showed a trend toward down-regulation relative to luminal cells (Figure 5C ).

All studies that showed, or showed a trend towards, statistically significant effect sizes, did so only for short-term outcomes.

At examination 1, the group of dogs treated with glucocorticoids showed a trend towards a greater degree of swelling compared with the group of NGT dogs, however, the difference was not significant.

Comparatively, Catwalk gait analysis showed a trend of slightly earlier onset (5 h after injection) of spontaneous pain perception indicated as print area (Figure 3a ) and duty cycle (Figure 3b ) in PTPH1-KO mice, compared to matched WTs.

High mRNA expression of GluN1 0XX (1-a) splice variants in the ventral orbital cortex of old C57BL/6 mice is associated with good spatial working memory performance and showed a trend for a similar relationship to spatial reference memory (Das and Magnusson, 2008 ).

Among first-born children, minor allele carrier-ship of rs20541 showed a trend towards a higher risk of skin sensitization at age 4 (PR = 1.59; 95% CI = 1.01, 2.50), age 10 (PR = 1.48; 95% CI = 0.99, 2.20) and 18 years (PR = 1.21; 95% CI = 0.86, 1.69).

Furthermore, RUNX2 expression showed a trend towards overexpression going from normal osteoblasts to favorable responders to chemotherapy and then to unfavorable responders to chemotherapy (Figure 1 ).

Genetic controls also showed a significant increase in the courtship index at elevated temperatures ( Fig 2, Ci ), but if anything, flies with lowered DA- and 5HT-neuron function showed a trend towards a decrease in the courtship index at the restrictive temperature (the value did not reach significance in this set of experiments).

A recent report found no substantial (statistically significant) differences in either 30-day or 1-year mortality in users of various sulfonylureas after myocardial infarction (although use of gliclazide monotherapy showed a trend toward lower mortality [hazard ratio 0.70 {95% CI 0.48–1.0}]), suggesting that mortality is not substantially influenced by the choice of sulfonylurea ( 17 ).

The effect was dose-dependent; treatment with lower doses of Rac1 peptide showed a trend toward improvement, and this trend did not reach statistical significance (Figure 2a, b ).

Compared to controls, patients with benign MS showed a trend for elevated PCr ratios in the NAWM but the difference was not significant.

The primary endpoint, a composite of coronary, cerebrovascular and peripheral macrovascular events, showed a trend towards benefit from pioglitazone.

The mf GMI among mf positives showed a trend towards a increase between January 2007 and October 2008 (although still not statistically significant), suggesting that the apparent waning effect of the MDAs was most marked among individuals who had not yet cleared their mf (these individuals also had a considerable higher mean mf burden at pre-MDA than the other mf positive individuals; results not shown).

Finally, the ER-positive tumors in BRCA1 carriers were different to sporadic/control ER-positive cancers, showed a trend towards higher grade and mitotic activity, and were predominantly ductal carcinoma - no special type.

The data showed a trend toward increased overall survival within the high and moderate HJURP mRNA level group (Figure 6b ).
