“showed a trend”

One study showed a trend that an increased number of people in the operating room during recovery increased musculoskeletal allograft contamination, suggesting that recovery variables may impact contamination rates and bioburden (Segur et al. 2000 ).

Cox regression analysis of WHO grade IV (GBM) patients divided into BRCA1 low (<14.5%) and BRCA1 high (>14.5%) or RRM2 negative and positive groups showed a trend toward worse survival of BRCA1 high and RRM2 positive patients (251 days for BRCA1 low versus 159 days for BRCA1 high and 320 days for RRM2 negat. versus 148 for RRM2 posit.; Fig. 6d,g , respectively).

BMP-4, Meox2 and HoxA2 showed a trend in the direction of change observed in the original cohort although statistical significance was not achieved ( Fig. 2 ).

The 90-d complication rate showed a trend towards fewer complications in the LRC group ( 12 ).

In the absence of TGFβ1, miR-26a mimic transfection into NRK-52E cells showed a trend of ameliorating EMT marker expression at both the mRNA and protein levels, but this effect was not significant compared to the NC group.

Although diabetes and higher stages of CKD showed a trend toward association, there was no statistical significance.

Most survey locations in the vicinity of the channel showed a trend for higher sediment cover and depth in the Linear Reef than the Ridge-shallow habitat ( Table S1 ).

However, higher intake of vitamin C (179 ± 80 mg/day) showed a trend toward increased PD risk, although it was not statistically significant (OR = 2.13, 95% CI = [0.89, 5.11]; Scheider et al., 1997 ).

The overexpression of MMP-7, MMP-10, and MMP-12 in colon cancer patients' sera correlates with a dismal prognosis [ 7 ] and high serum MMP-1 level showed a trend for short overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients [ 8 ].

In the RV, restitution curves showed a trend toward shorter ARI at the base than at the apex ( Fig. 5 , A , D , and G ), but no significant apicobasal differences were observed, regardless of the site at which pacing was conducted.

Class I included 2,122 genes that showed a trend of up-regulated expression during the 72-h of larval feeding.

The results showed a trend similar to the pattern of expression in normal and tumor tissue samples.

A random effect showed a trend toward superiority of BL-M therapy, but its estimate did not reach statistical significance, and heterogeneity between trials was high (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.46 to 1.21; P = 0.23; I 2 = 76.0%).

Additionally, when we analyzed the two groups of women (younger or older than the menopausal age of 55 years), the association was not statistically significant in both groups; however, women ≥ 55 years old showed a trend of a positive correlation between vitamin D deficiency and NAFLD ( Supplementary Table 2 ).

The severity of disease as measured by H and Y stage also showed a trend of correlation with fatigue.

Although not part of our a priori analysis plan, twin pairs discordant for stress also showed a trend for differences in depression symptoms counts and total count of anxiety, depression, and antisocial symptoms (see supplemental data ); However, this sample is best described as stress discordant since over half of the pairs were concordant for 0 or 1 of each type of mental health symptom.

An Australian case-control study conducted by Wehrhahn et al [ 12 ] showed a trend towards an increased 30-day mortality among lukF-PV -positive SAB cases compared with PVL-negative SAB cases (16% vs 10%).

In our data, baseline bilirubin, which showed a trend of inverse association with MetS incidence in women of our data and has been consistently proposed as a protective factor of MetS [ 1 , 6 ], was negatively correlated with bilirubin change and PCB while PCB showed a statistically significant association with incident MetS.

We can therefore conclude that the survey from Twitter showed a trend pertaining to the entire population.

The Alu115-qPCR values showed a trend that increased with AJCC stage.

It also showed a trend of increasing antioxidative biomarkers in the serum obtained from COPD rats (Figures 3(c) and 3(d) ).

Regarding treatment modalities, elderly patients showed a trend toward less invasive treatments than non-elderly patients.

The swimming distance of the AD rats in fourth quadrant also showed a trend to decrease although the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups ( Figure 1(c) ).

Moreover, MF patients with impaired response to PMA showed a trend towards reduced response to PAF, a lipid mediator with a broad range of effects on the inflammatory response and strong NET inducer 26 , 33 , as revealed by quantification of released DNA ( Fig. 3f ) and shown in Fig. 3g .

An average for all the donors showed a trend towards a higher CFU capacity of hMSCs isolated from the proximal femur 54 ± 42 CFU than ilium 31 ± 22 CFU, distal femur 14 ± 24 CFU and proximal tibia 19 ± 5 CFU (Fig. 3d ).
