“showed a trend”

Mortality data from three studies reported as conference abstracts showed a trend towards a decrease in mortality with premorbid β-blocker exposure.

The propensity analysis showed a trend towards a lower rate of AKI in the CON group, but this did not reach statistical significance.

Concordantly our subgroup analysis and exploratory analysis comparing lower vs higher doses of rivaroxaban and dabigatran, showed a trend toward higher risks of ischemic events including stroke and stent thrombosis in association with lower doses.

Neither adherence to medication nor changes were recorded in any study, although unmedicated participants who undertook IRT showed a trend towards a greater reduction in SBP than their medicated counterparts; mean difference −10.18 mmHg (−15.50 to −4.86) medicated versus −5.86 mmHg (−9.19 to −2.54) unmedicated.

Regarding only patients with persistent AF, those receiving a biatrial lesion set showed a trend towards higher rates of freedom from AF, but without statistically significant differences (biatrial 66.9% vs..left-atrial 55.3%, p=0.067).

Specifically, CeO 2 NPs showed a trend for greater inhibition of lipoperoxidation and ROS production compared to the NAC-treated animals in mice with liver damage 66 , a similar ability to increase GSH compared to NAC in cells under H 2 O 2 -induced oxidative stress 67 , and a stronger protective effect than NAC reducing ROS production and the apoptosis due to the TNF and cycloheximide administration in U937 cells 68 .

Three of these 19 risk domains showed a trend significant effect.

Moreover, the items showed a trend toward positive skewness ( M Sk = 1.01, range [0.05-2.79]) and kurtosis ( M K = 1.5, range [-0.17-8.52]).

Conversely, these ratios were improved in all therapeutic groups when compared to that in the BCNC group (all P < 0.05), whereas the −200 mmHg VED therapy group showed a trend superior to other VED therapy groups except for the −400 mmHg VED therapy group.

Their results showed a trend toward reduced CVD risk in women who started hormone therapy at a younger age or closer to menopause or both ( Table 1 and Table 2 ) 44 .

TLR2 intracellular expression in the macrophages, the TLR2 and TNFαmRNA in the induced sputum also showed a trend towards decreased endpoint in ICS long-term treatment group compare to ICS naïve group but did not reach significance.

Anti-UGV NP IgM antibody titres showed a trend to lower in the older BIBD-negative snakes, which could reflect exhaustion of the immune system or a gradual class switch towards IgY.

In contrast, COL3A1 showed a trend toward a decrease at 3D post-injury relative to the control followed by a further decrease at 14D.

Headache hours, days with severe headache intensity (defined as pain ≥7/10 on a numeric analog scale), days with acute headache medication use and days with triptan use showed a trend to increase over time after trial termination but were still numerically lower than baseline at all examined time points (Table 1 ).

34 In the same study, neonatal complications (not further defined) showed a trend towards worse outcomes in UM vs DM: ( n = 335, UM vs.

In one study ( 8 ), although all dogs clinically recovered, the diversity indices for the fecal bacterial communities present after 3 weeks of therapy showed a trend toward a further decrease.

Urinary kallidinogenase also showed a trend toward lower fasting blood glucose levels, although the level did not reach significance.

Cell lines with greater ZAP-L and ZAP-S expression showed a trend towards greater attenuation levels although the difference did not reach statistical significance (Figure 12C ).

Of note, on the contralateral side, progesterone treatment showed a trend toward elevated levels of Fos-positive neurons.

Also, an important argument is that the ingested volume showed a trend to be higher in the alkali group but this trend remained statistically insignificant.

5a ) showed a trend toward decreased food intake although this did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.061, acute experiment).

However, the allelotype of the SNPs at loci associated with fruit size, flesh adhesion/texture and acid content showed a trend in the opposite direction towards heterozygosity.

Bacilli and Clostridia showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the change of PMI (Fig. 3A ).

[ 37 ] in a study performed in 2007 where patients that received IMA embolisation combined with intraprocedural thrombin injection in 69 consecutive patients that underwent elective EVAR showed a trend of endoleak reduction; however, no statistically significant difference was reached (26% compared with 14%) and the authors concluded that ongoing research into means to prevent lumbar endoleaks is required.
