“showed a trend”

In the oropharynx the HPV-driven group showed a trend for better survival versus the HPV-negative group.

During an 18-year follow-up in the French GAZEL cohort, people with diabetes showed a trend toward an increased probability of transitioning from employment to work disability including disability pension compared to non-diabetics [ 9 ].

By visual inspection, longitudinal data of LDH, neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), albumin (ALB), and tumor size all showed a trend over time ( Figure 2 ).

After 7 days iECs cultured in hyperglycemic conditions showed a trend of less migration but no significant difference. iECs in chronic hyperglycemia and euglycemia showed a modest but not statistically significant increase in metabolic activity and increased DNA content from day 2 to day 4. iECs in acute hyperglycemia conditions showed increased metabolic activity and decreased DNA content from day 2 to day 4.

Overall, the rates of respiratory infections showed a trend of decline during the years of the global COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2022), probably associated with reduced transmission with the implementation of containment directives such as lockdowns, various social distancing measures, and extensive utilisation of face masks [ 9 , 10 ].

When dividing FLI into quartiles, the top quartile had a 1.684 times risk for the prevalent IHD than the bottom quartile, and the risk for prevalent IHD showed a trend towards a more significant risk across the quartiles ( P for trend = 0.002).

Our analysis of the relationship between psychological well-being and work parameters showed a trend of worse outcomes related to later work end times, and these results are similar to the results of previous studies [ 11 – 13 ].

The earlier age groups showed a trend of ear disease being asymptomatic compared to older children.

The single vaccination regimens administered at 3 weeks of age (3w IIV and 3w LAIV) showed a trend that was similar to the 1-day-old vaccination result: no differences in anti-NP or IgG antibodies (compare Fig 7A and 7B with Fig 3A and 3B ) and higher IgA responses in LAIV groups compared with IIV groups (compare Fig 7C with Fig 3C ).

However, for omalizumab, a recent meta-analysis in pediatric patients showed a trend but no statistical significance towards better therapeutic response with higher IgE baseline levels (WMD 50.30, 95% CI: − 5.91 to − 106.51) [ 98 ], therefore making the role for IgE as a biomarker for prediction of treatment response uncertain.

During all tests, compared with the FPM, ET showed a significantly higher tidal volume (V T ) delivered ( p < 0.01), while Respireo showed a trend toward an increase of tidal volume delivered compared with FPM.

Subjects receiving mazindol CR showed a trend of decreasing body weight as early as Day 7, and by Day 42 there was a mean weight loss for the mazindol CR group (− 1.73 kg; range − 9.6 to + 3.7) and a mean weight gain for the placebo group (1.07 kg; range − 2.0 to + 11.0).

One week following rTMS (T2), the power of α and β showed a trend towards an increase, although this did not reach significance ( P > 0.05).

In a later study males and not females showed a trend but not a statistically significant alteration in delay discounting behavioral paradigm, which is considered to be a direct measure of impulsive choice behavior, as well as disrupted mesocorticolimbic serotonin function under Pb and PS exposure ( Weston et al., 2014 ).

Interestingly, a similar trend was observed in other mouse TB models where RZMH consistently showed a trend towards inferior results compared to RZME and/or RZM 12 .

L100I, V108I and Y181C also showed a trend toward increased cross-resistance, but when adjusted for multiple comparisons, these were no longer significant.

The present study also showed a trend towards lower retention rate with increasing distance of patient's place of residence from the Centre.

Multicolour flow cytometry showed a trend for NK cell activation in the patients (n=3) compared with age-matched healthy controls (n=3), based on higher frequency of surface activating and cytotoxic receptors.

In this study, although both vaccinated and non-vaccinated normal ewes showed a trend toward increased SCC as the study went along, the increase in SCC was far less significant in the vaccinated ewes which may indicate a significant level of protection provided by the vaccine in this group.

The measurement of OH-proline showed a trend toward higher values in mice treated with higher bleomycin doses.

The graph demonstrates that more severe abnormalities in TO were significantly associated with deterioration of liver disease ( Fig 2A ) and showed a trend towards increased number of decompensating events within 6 months ( Fig 2B ).

Intriguingly, of factors in the primary tumor, increased levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes showed a trend toward improved survival in patients with brain metastasis.

HIF-2α showed a trend towards downregulation by CSE but the effect was not as pronounced as for HIF-1α (Fig. 2D ).

Older age (P=0.051) and English fluency (P=0.077) also showed a trend toward tolerability, with more patients in the 60-69 year-old age group (35.4% vs. 24.2%) than in the 50-59 year-old age group (40.4% vs. 50.9%) tolerating split-dose preparation.

Neutrophils from nonresolving donors of sepsis by day 7 (SOFA > 3, N = 9) showed a trend towards generating a lower number of NETs compared with resolvers and healthy aged controls (39347 ± 6103 versus 42545 ± 2502 versus 49659 ± 3285), but this failed to reach significance ( p = 0.17, ANOVA).
