“showed a trend”

In this study, the predisposing factors (age, educational level attained, marital status and occupation) showed a trend of association between the HSB-preferred health facilities.

Xbp1 showed a trend of upregulation (by 88%) although the difference failed to reach significance ( p = 0.059).

DAS28 showed a trend to differ at baseline with class 1, the poor responding group having higher score than the other two groups.

In multivariate Cox regression analysis low levels of C-reactive protein (hazard ratio 4.687 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.144–19.199, p = 0.032) were significantly associated with a prolonged survival whereas higher age (hazard ratio 0.488 (95% CI 0.23–1.038), p = 0.062) showed a trend for shorter survival in SSC-CIP.

However, IR participants showed a trend toward an increased fraction of small cells compared with the healthy participants both at baseline and after the exercise training ( figure 4 ).

A study conducted at a tertiary care hospital in South Korea showed prescription of drugs used in the treatment of infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria, including carbapenems, glycopeptides, oxazolidinones, polymyxins and glycylcyclines, showed a trend toward an increase between 2004 to 2013.

Although no significant changes for alpha-diversity and beta-diversity were found, socially isolated animals showed a trend toward a decrease in alpha diversity and a trend towards differential clustering of microbial communities (beta diversity) ( 46 ) ( Figure 6 and Table 1 ).

Poly I:C treatment showed a trend towards having a significant effect on mEPSC amplitude ( Figure 1F , left; mEPSC amplitude, PBS: 12.89 ± 0.33 pA, n = 23 from five animals; poly I:C: 11.94 ± 0.37 pA, n = 24 from five animals, −7.4% of PBS; Student t -test: P = 0.06).

casei showed a trend of inhibiting the damage of P. aeruginosa on the mitochondrial activity and cytoplasmic membrane integrity of sperm ( Figure 8 ).

Socially advantaged students showed a trend in the same direction, but this did not reach statistical significance (control: 77%; treatment: 81%; OR = 1.22 , Z = 0.79 , P = 0.43, d = 0.10), consistent with prior research ( 9 , 12 ).

Consistent with the increased lateral yeast formation in the ace2 -3A strain relative to that in ace2- 2A mutants, the ace2 -3A mutant showed a trend toward increased PES1 expression relative to that in the ace2- 2A mutant ( Fig. 8B ).

This result showed a trend towards statistical significance.

Incidentalomas accounted for 30.9% in total and showed a trend of recent increment.

Further MTT assays showed a trend that growth of PRKCI -amplified cell lines is greatly inhibited by knockdown of PKCι whereas silencing PKCι displayed little effect in growth of non- PRKCI -amplified lines (Fig. 3d ).

The viability of SW480 cells with CBD and 10% FCS showed a trend to decline (Fig. 3 c).

Especially, in the initial stages of home quarantine and lockdown, the number of monthly outpatient visits showed a trend of sharp decrease in our hospital.

Low HDL-cholesterol levels showed a trend for a correlation with e-cig use status; however, the trend was not statistically significant.

Specific patient subgroups showed a trend toward longer median SRE duration, notably those with CVID: 5 days (95% CI, 4-7 days) and bronchiectasis: 6 days (95% CI, 5-12 days).

Metformin before or during chemotherapy indeed showed a trend toward better overall survival compared with single chemotherapy, although this trend did not reach statistical significance ( Fig. 4 d).

An ex vivo experiment with human saphenous vein segments showed a trend of upregulation of ephrinB2 when exposed to arterial shear stress [ 24 ].

Further, mRNA expressions for myogenesis and mitochondrial biogenesis were either decreased or showed a trend of decrease in IDH2 KO mice.

The results showed that after MeJA hormone treatment, compared with the control at the same time point, all 6 genes reached maximum levels at the time point after MeJA treatment, 3 of which ( GhNHX_2, GhNHX_3 , and GhNHX_21 ) showed a trend of continuous upregulation ( Figure 9 ), reaching maximum levels at 12 h, while the other three genes ( GhNHX_4, GhNHX_8 , and GhNHX_17 ) reached maximum levels at 9 h.

Similar to previous studies, IDO1 ko mice showed a trend toward elevated antibody titers in response to immunization with T cell independent antigens ( 42 ).

The results are as follows: with the increase of the grafting density of an amino silane coupling agent on the surface of nano silica particles, the mechanical properties and glass transition temperature of epoxy resin showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing.

aeruginosa isolated in their sputum at exacerbation showed a trend for higher IL-17a levels on day 1, reaching statistical significance from day 5 until day 60.
