“showed a trend”

The sample of participants with CIs in the present study was small but actually showed a trend in the opposite direction to the D/HH participants without CIs, with the late-confirmed group showing superior language skills to the early-confirmed group.

All but two of the included studies showed a trend towards a decrease in the number of children with a disorganised attachment pattern, with the odds ratios ranged from 0.18 to 0.97 and the effect sizes varied from large effects (0.95) [ 28 , 42 ] and (0.92) [ 35 ] to very small effect sizes (0.02) [ 33 ] and 0.07 [ 31 ] with the others having a medium or large effect [ 46 ].

Donor LT-HSCs from infected mice showed a trend towards poorer reconstitution in BM (2.72 x 10 7 ± 1.41 x 10 7 cells vs. 6.96 x 10 6 ± 7.89 x 10 6 cells, naive vs. infected mice), and the same was observed in the spleen ( Fig 2G ).

The latency to first rear (defined as those instances in which the mouse stood on its hind legs) within the outer zone showed a trend towards lower values in KO mice that just failed to reach significance (Fig. 5a ).

Delayed administration of FG-3019 in the therapeutic regimen showed a trend toward decreased peritoneal hydroxyproline content, which was not statistically significant (Fig. 1a ).

A recent review showed a trend toward higher empathy levels in later years of the undergraduate course, 19 although another systematic review indicated that most studies on the subject found a decline in empathy, 20 with hidden curriculum being the most reported cause of this phenomenon. 4 This finding is in agreement with the s

Comparison of QOL in Each of the Two Treatment Groups before and after Treatment In PBT+PLACEBO patients, most QOL features showed a trend of being worse after PBT-treatment and the FACT-L physical and emotional subscales and the Total Score were significantly worse after than before treatment (0.0001, 0.003, and 0.03, respectively).

In NSCLC for example, high levels of pAKT predicted better response to TKI (gefinitinib) therapy and significantly longer time to progression in one study [ 63 ], and in another study, pAKT and pSTAT3 both showed a trend towards association with longer time to progression on gefitinib [ 64 ].

[20] allopurinol safely decreased uric acid levels in patients with CKD 3 and showed a trend to slower progression to end stage renal disease (ESRD).

Notably, while the expression of these NDICPs was most strikingly altered during the pre-onset phase of EAE, they showed a trend toward returning to baseline levels at onset and peak disease (Figures 3 B–E).

Subjects with TNF-α higher than 72.53 pg/ml also showed a trend towards increased risk of developing T2DM [OR (95% CI): 1.25 (0.42, 3.70)].

Interestingly, HSP-27 and β-catenin showed a trend for an increased protein expression in soy relative to sow-fed piglets (Additional file 1 : Figure S2F-H).

Differences in median hArg levels showed a trend toward the greatest decreases in patients with more severe stages of sepsis.

Another recent randomized clinical trial, randomizing women with one or two recent pregnancy losses between low dose aspirin and placebo, started preconception and continued until 36 weeks of gestation, showed a trend towards a lower spontaneous preterm birth rate with a RR of 0.45, 95% CI 0.19 to 1.08 [ 22 , 23 ].

Conclusions Despite the fact that our analysis was based on the assumption that respondents had a good relationship with their children, the findings of this study still showed a trend towards preference for living in the vicinity of adult children in urban China.

The most marked findings, however, resulted from R2* measurements, where the best separation could be achieved in the putamen, showing that bilaterally significant R2* increases, whereas R2 mapping of the MSA-P group compared to PD showed a trend but was not statistically significant.

In both studies, meditators scored significantly lower on suspiciousness and higher on magical thinking compared to meditation-naïve individuals and showed a trend towards lower scores on excessive social anxiety.

The RHI of the digital arteries showed a trend towards toward better endothelial reactivity in control subjects [2.35 (0.62) vs. 2.10 (0.57)], but the difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.07).

The BPS at a low current intensity showed a trend towards higher efficacy, although this was not significant in a logistic regression model, indicating that the relationship with the effect of BPS intensity is not linear.

The CCK assay results showed a trend of down-regulation of viable cell numbers in correspondence with increasing concentrations of QUE, and this decrease was statistically significant in high dose treatments (50 μM and above) of QUE (Figure 1A ).

But, the forest plot showed a trend toward lower technical success rate and a trend toward higher diagnostic accuracy in the FNB group, compared with FNA.

Additionally, the incidences of the group under 18 years old were stable during study period except in 2005, while other groups showed a trend of decline (Fig. 1d and e ).

Thermal thresholds for cool and warm in the residual limb showed a trend toward normal values after the treatment, which suggests regeneration or modification of the phenotype of nerve fibers and deserves further study.

While siRNA-mediated depletion of endogenous HSF1 in myofibers showed a trend toward increased TDP-43 aggregation, this was not statistically significant under the parameters and conditions tested (Fig. 7d ).

After light administration, PER3 4 /PER3 4 subjects advanced their aMT6s acrophase (p < 0.05), and showed a trend of advanced sleep-wake timing.
