“showed a trend”

16 reported that although PSM after PN showed a trend towards being associated with local recurrence, the association was not statistically significant, and PSM did not influence cancer-specific survival in their study.

The A+DCB group showed a trend toward less provisional stenting than the DCB group, although the difference was not statistically significant (3.7% vs. 6.1%).

Assessment of the association of muscarinic cholinergic receptor 1 (CHRM1) and 2 (CHRM2) genetic variability with TD development showed a trend towards CHRM2 rs2061174 and rs1824024 effect on TD risk ( Boiko et al., 2020 ).

In the study by Lee et al., MSCs cultured in 3D chondrogenic combinatorial system with 40% strain showed a trend toward hypertrophic chondrocytes, indicated by the high level of RUNX2, which was also accompanied with more YAP expression ( Lee et al., 2020 ).

Out of 13 patients having at least 2 mutations in separate genes, 8 patients showed a trend that was similar to the mutation in TP53 , the other 4 genes showed a different trend: KEM-016 only had one detectable mutation in plasma at postoperative day 1 ( TP53 ) the other mutation was only detected in tissue.

However, going out for a walk or exercise, a behaviour which participants had control over, but which was not explicitly mentioned by tiered guidance, showed a trend towards declining in higher tiers, suggesting a spill-over effect of the guidance that may have related to risk perception. 28 COVID-19 restrictions have increased sedentary behaviour. 29 , 30 Going out for a walk or exercise alone or with members of one's own household is a low risk activity with respect to COVID-19 transmission and should be encouraged for its effects on well-being.

SBP of the intervention group decreased by 8.0 mm Hg and the control group decreased by 0.5 mm Hg; in terms of DBP, the intervention group decreased by 5.8 mm Hg totally, while the control group showed a trend of first rising, then falling, and then rising.

CD21-expresing B cells were found rarely outside mature TLS and showed a trend towards increased infiltration in TLS-high tumors ( Figure 5G ).

With an increase in the concentration of the amino donor, the ectoine titer showed a trend from increasing to decreasing.

Of note, these results showed a trend similar to that of bla KPC-2 under antibiotic stress but with higher copy numbers of IS 26 transposase, which is consistent with the E. coli genome possessing more basal copies of the genes (12 copies).

Accordingly, lesion volumes in the follow-up showed a trend towards lower values in the subgroup of responders (11.9 vs 18.8).

In 2018, the spatial pattern of CEI showed a trend of decreasing from coastal areas to inland areas.

Levels of HMGB1 in anti-GBM patients showed a trend towards an increase but did not reach significance.

However, its potential in improving GNS is dependent on sufficient water, which also showed a trend in the present dryland wheat cultivars breeding.

Although previous studies were inconsistent, several studies showed a trend toward decreased inhibition in MDD patients as measured with the CSP and SICI ( 18 , 19 , 50 ).

Infants of mothers reporting high levels of anxiety showed a trend toward lower FM scores (see Figure 1 ).

Digestive gland Contrary to that observed in hemolymph, the digestive gland showed a trend towards increasing the six genes' mRNA levels analyzed after exposure to Ag-NPs (Fig. 3 ).

An analysis of subjects aged 16–65 years indicated that the changes in TIV were not associated with age in female participants, while men showed a trend toward a lower intracranial volume, although the correlation was not significant (Blatter et al., 1995 ).

found that T3 RCC patients with positive margins after RN showed a trend of poorer OS, but it was not statistically significant ( 21 ).

showed a trend toward an increasing aneuploidy from FA to FC, but concluded that there was a limited diagnostic usefulness (11) .

Robertson [ 8 ] presented CPT and DMT data from published records and showed a trend between I D and I c , so it can be defined using the following relationship: (15) I D = 10 ( 1.67 − 0.67 · I c ) A comparison of readings from nearby in-situ test profiles at the same depth is shown in Figure 14 and reveals considerable scatter due to differences in soil stratigraphy and consistency, as many sites are not uniform.

The 56-day compressive strength of the mortar mixes showed a trend similar to that of the 28-day compressive strength.

From the results ( Figure 5 ), the pharmacokinetic curve showed a trend of rising first and then falling, indicating that the time point selected in the experiment fully expressed the absorption and metabolism of polysaccharides, flavones, syringin and EE, reflecting the characteristics of pharmacokinetics.

In the bending experiment of the fractal structure pattern, as the radius of curvature decreased, the relative resistance showed a trend to increase.

Specifically, from the perspective of different intervals, as the value of the learning rate increased from 0.001 to 0.003, the model performance showed a trend of first decline and then rise, and the decline of the four evaluation indicators reached 0.7%, 0.2%, 1.1%, and 0.5%, respectively.
