“showed a trend”

Although no statistically significant effect was found, in both probe and irrelevant, the CM group showed a trend toward a longer mean reaction time than did the IN and SG groups.

Although the difference between pre-therapy and follow-up did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.086), the results showed a trend toward improvement, suggesting a potential effect of the maintenance protocol in the incontinence domain when evaluated 30 days after the end of treatment.

Furthermore, IL-6 levels showed a trend of increasing with worsening prognostic category, with a statistically significant difference observed between the adverse- and favorable-risk groups ( Figure 1 A).

22 Similarly, the current study showed a trend toward a larger cross-sectional area of the iliac veins in the early cohort and, consequently, larger stents placed.

While several studies did not reach statistical significance, 26 – 28 most showed a trend toward positive change. 29 – 31 These non-significant findings are likely attributable to small sample sizes, limited statistical power, and variability in intervention protocols.

Parity showed a trend effect: OR 1.56 (95% CI: 0.53–4.59) for studies with >50% nulliparous women, 4.52 (95% CI: 2.53–8.10) for those with >50% multiparous, 5.23 (95% CI, 2.09–13.04) for studies with >95% multiparous women.

A meta-analysis of European cohorts showed a trend toward an increased risk of lung cancer, reaching statistical significance for the adenocarcinoma subtype (HR 1.55; 95% CI, 1.05–2.29) with increasing exposure to PM2.5 [ 12 ].

Additionally, the EA group showed a trend toward faster swimming speed and significantly shorter latency to the first platform crossing (Fig. 1 G-M).

Length of hospital stay and cost considerations Although differences in length of hospital stay among the three treatments did not reach statistical significance, antibiotic therapy showed a trend toward shorter stays.

Although serum iron and transferrin saturation (TSAT) showed a trend toward lower levels in advanced clinical T/N stages (cT4/cN+), the lack of statistical significance may reflect the complex interplay between iron status, tumor biology, and therapeutic exposure.

The screw fixation group showed a trend toward shorter surgical time and a lower implant removal rate in our study.

Quantitative analysis of GLUT1 showed a trend of increased expression in areas with early signs of fibrosis [score 1] as compared to areas with normal lung parenchyma.

Subgroup analyses revealed that the fourth quartile showed a trend toward higher fall risk across all subgroups, especially among individuals aged ≥ 60 years and males.

Group I showed a trend toward shorter NICU stays and a lower proportion of neonates requiring ventilatory support.

In our study, the degree of aortic plaques showed a trend consistent with changes in typical inflammatory factors, which aligns with previous research findings.

Lipidomic analysis indicated that some lipid species previously found to differ between patients with abdominal obesity and healthy controls showed a trend toward reversal after EA treatment.

The cumulative CPR showed a trend toward improvement in group 3 (9.38%, 6.25%, and 19.12%).

Similarly, there were statistically significant reductions in LBR and CPR after the initial transfer compared with the freeze-all strategy; the associations of which showed a trend of steady decline with increasing number of oocytes.

PGD grade at 72 h post-transplantation showed a trend toward higher grades in the desensitization group, though this was not statistically significant (p = 0.079).

The Th17 cells showed a trend of being higher in the PRE group than in the control group, but the difference was not significant.

In addition, the co-culture of CD8 + T and NK cells showed a trend of decreased surface expression of NKG2D ligands, specifically MULT-1 and H60 on gated CD8 + T or NK cells ( Supplementary Figure S10 , Supplementary Table S6 ).

The N2‐glucuronide/LTG ratio showed a trend toward a significant decrease in the LTG with FNZ group compared with the LTG without FNZ group, with a P‐ value of 0.081, indicating a near‐significant difference (Fig. 2b ).

With the increase of alkali–ash ratio and the extension of hydrothermal treatment time, the removal efficiency of MV by MSAM showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing.

Under the same glucose concentration condition, the bioconversion rate of PNIPAm‐Gox showed a trend of first increasing and then slightly decreasing as the overall enzyme dosage increased.

2.5 Drugs Predicted by Our Clock to Rejuvenate the Transcriptome Reduced Anxiety in Older Mice and Showed a Trend Toward Improved Memory Performance Among the brain‐rejuvenating interventions that were individually predicted by our clock, an interesting subset includes 5‐azacytidine, tranylcypromine, and JNK‐IN‐5A (TCS JNK 5a), which influence epigenetic regulation.
