“showed a trend”

The multi-center Premature Infants in Need of Transfusion (PINT) trial showed a trend toward better short-term neurodevelopment in preterm infants randomized to receive treatment at a higher target hematocrit concentration ( 2 ), while the single-center Iowa trial showed better long-term outcomes in the infants previously randomized to a lower target ( 3 ).

In the hippocampus, again the A53T/DFP/Veh group showed a trend to less aggregation, while the A53T/Fe and A53T/DFP/Fe groups showed trends to more aggregation ( p = 0.065) (Fig. 5 b).

[ 8 , 16 , 18 ] The interval of embolization in the current 3 cases was 4 weeks, and number of embolizations was 6, 4, and 3, respectively, which showed a trend of decrease in the number of embolization, although similar effects of significant decrease in size and peripheral ossification were observed in all the 3 cases.

The average BMI of women showed a trend toward obesity (BMI≈30): (29.21 kg/m 2 ± 3,1) in patients with gestational diabetes and (29.15 kg/m 2 ± 3.2) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

In a recent meta-analysis of observational studies, fruit juice consumption resulted in a 5% increase of incidence of type 2 diabetes [ 6 ]; however, a correlation between fruit juice consumption and the incidence of type 2 diabetes was not found in a European meta-analysis [ 37 ], and an observational study from Costa Rica substituting sucrose sweetened or diet beverages with fruit juice showed a trend towards better glycemic parameters and a lower incidence of metabolic syndrome than substituting it with water [ 40 ].

In the same pattern, HbA1c as measured on d1, d60 and d120 also showed a trend similar to the blood glucose values in both the groups.

From each component point of view, the vigor, resilience, and population health of each city in Jiangsu Province showed a trend of continuous improvement, while the organization and service function first increased and then decreased.

Multiple effectors showed a trend of upregulated expression in tumor alveolar cell subsets in comparison to normal alveolar cells ( Figure 1D ).

DSF also showed a trend to reduce the slight NSPs activation observed at MOI 0.5 ( Fig 5A ).

Examination of overall survival in this group of stage 3 neuroblastoma patients univariately showed a trend, but not a significant difference ( p = 0.061), toward better survival in patients whose neuroblastomas displayed diffuse PTEN expression compared to focal or negative expression of this tumor suppressor gene (Figure 2B ).

Mice infected with Δ camS showed a trend of decreased survival over the course of the experiment ( Fig 2Ei ).

Our data showed a trend towards having lower ER and PR immunoreactive scores in tumors that have low BRCA1 expression which is in agreement with previous studies showing BRCA1-related breast cancers are more frequently ER negative than nonhereditary breast cancers [ 30 ].

TRP supplementation to MSC–IFN-γ and B cell co-cultures showed a trend toward increased frequencies of CD38 high CD24 high Bregs (Figure 5 D).

Echocardiography showed a trend towards a reduction in the pulmonary artery pressure and the improvement of cardiac structure.

In univariate analysis, the slow TUG group showed a trend of higher risk of pneumonia occurrence compared with the normal TUG group; however, the difference was not statistically significant (hazard ratio [HR], 1.046 [95% CI = 0.988–1.107]).

Furthermore, the ketogenic diet group showed a trend towards a reduction of kidney volume while not reaching statistical significance.

Acute single MW showed a trend of anxiety but did not result in depressive-like behaviors. a The schedule of open field test (OFT), elevated plus maze test (EPM) and tail suspension test (TST) after MW exposure. b – c Time in center of mice during OFT (n = 12). d – e Time in open/closed arm of mice during EPM (n = 15). f Time of freezing/immobile/mobile of mice during TST (n = 15).

Some linear model studies [ 6 , 22 ], however, showed a trend where the linear models estimates were generally lower than those of the threshold models reports.

This result was in agreement with the study of Bowser et al [ 32 ], who reported that hue-angle showed a trend to decrease in samples, which became darker with extending time but low mean values (more reddish samples) were observed for meat product with added rosemary extract.

This study showed a trend towards improvement for intracerebral haemorrhage: This if confirmed in a bigger future study will be a breakthrough.

The same study showed a trend toward faster clearance of the virus, with more than three times fewer positive cases in the probiotic group after 3 weeks [ 19 ].

Recently, a propensity score adjusted analysis of 537 patients undergoing to PCI of a CTO showed a trend toward a higher adjusted risk of ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization for patients undergoing to BVS implantation as compared with DES[ 9 ].
