“showed a trend”

A prior study of diverticulitis epidemiology from 1980 to 2007 showed a trend shift in sex differences around age 50–59 years. 6 The younger trend shift in our study may reflect increasing prevalence of diverticular disease in younger patients. 3 , 4 Although the pathophysiology for these sex differences are unknown, possible explanations include sex differences in lifestyle and environmental factors associated with diverticulitis, including obesity, physical activity, and menopause. 3 , 7 , 8 Despite a higher prevalence of diverticulitis in women, women had lower odds of complications and admissions compared to men.

2 , 3 , 4 A report of a limited number of cases showed a trend toward lower postprocedure invasive mPG and higher rates of procedural success. 5 It is hypothesized that similar to the coronary and peripheral vascular application of Shockwave lithotripsy, fracking thick valvular calcium allows more expansion of valvuloplasty balloon and renders the calcified mitral leaflet tips pliable to prevent significant mitral regurgitation after the intervention.

The study also showed a trend not to use medical records when completing the DCs in deceased of advanced ages, but rather to choose a ‘most likely diagnosis’.

However, major bleeding was not significantly increased in patients with amyloidosis in our study, although it showed a trend toward increased bleeding tendency.

In grain, the preceding maize treatment showed a trend of increasing Ndff but decreasing Ndfs compared with the preceding rice treatment.

The correlation and agreement with FFR are significantly better for OCT-μFR than μQFR; (2) Using FFR ≤ 0.80 to define physiologically significant coronary stenosis, OCT-μFR showed a trend toward higher overall diagnostic performance over μQFR; (3) For vessels with suboptimal angiographic image quality or tandem lesions, OCT-μFR is superior to μQFR in identifying physiologically significant stenosis; (4) The diagnostic performance of OCT-μFR remains comparable in vessels with patients with prior MI or bifurcation lesions; (5) OCT-μFR has high usability in vessels with incomplete lesion coverage by OCT.

Education level showed a trend toward higher odds of psychological distress among caregivers with some college education or a college degree compared to those with a high school education or less.

In some isolated cases, the modal pattern on the skull surface showed a trend for an upshift (∼1/2 octave) in the observed natural frequencies for drained heads.

Physicians at referral centers also showed a trend toward increased liver fibrosis test assessment.

MVCs showed a trend toward anterior, while falls trended toward posterior rib fractures ( Fig. 4 ).

Nonetheless, the study population showed a trend toward a shorter time from the accident to definitive treatment in the DHTBE group, suggesting that requesting a doctor helicopter transfer in advance to a trauma center equipped with the necessary human and medical resources could be beneficial for trauma patients.

Although mRNA expression levels of these enzymes in livers of offspring exposed to MSCS in utero showed a trend towards increases, although this trend was not statistically significant.

All, except Lyme disease, showed a trend of decreasing numbers of hospitalizations.

Although there were no significant differences, patients treated with nonsteroidal immunosuppressants showed a trend toward more male, more isolated CS, and less history of atrioventricular block than patients treated with corticosteroids.

The intraoperative MR area [HR =1.723; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.051–2.824; P=0.031] and postoperative LVEDD (HR =1.149; 95% CI: 1.016–1.300; P=0.027) showed a trend towards higher recurrence of regurgitation.

Conversely, when bitopic linker-A ligands were compared in D2R, PF S,S -A, and SM-A showed no potency difference; whereas in D3R, PF S,S -A showed 13–35-fold greater potency than SM-A (except D3R-βarr1). When evaluating other bitopic PF vs SM pairs of identical linkers in D2R, bitopic PF ligands generally showed a trend of lower potency compared to their specific linker pair from SM series (except for more potent PF S,S -D S,R over SM-D S,R ).

While the analysis of energy expenditure associated with activity levels showed a trend toward an increase in the MEAI group, this trend did not reach statistical significance ( Figure 5 H).

In the detection of lymph node metastasis, VMI showed a trend of higher sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC values compared to C-CT, while MRI exhibited an even stronger trend of superiority over VMI in these aspects.

Simultaneously, the crystallization temperature, melting temperature, and crystallization rate of the polymer all showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing, which was due to the combined effects of the increase in the content of 6T chain segments on the molecular-chain structure and crystal structure of the polymer.

4.9 months; HR = 0.63; 95%CI, 0.52–0.76; p < 0.0001), and OS also showed a trend towards benefit (HR = 0.84) [ 87 ].

Changes in environmental suitability for the species in the CEU related to the department of Nariño showed a trend consistent with what was observed for the entire Colombian Pacific ( Figure S7 ).

There were some findings that showed a trend but did not meet statistical significance so they were not discussed here.

L-Theanine was the most abundant non-protein amino acid in purple-colored leaf tea, and its content showed a trend of firstly increasing and then decreasing during the anaerobic treatment, which is consistent with the previous study ( Dai et al., 2020 ).

4 Discussion While our study could not detect a statistically significant difference in learning when using ChatGPT, it showed a trend towards a greater increase in test scores and a greater decrease in time spent to answer the knowledge test.

The quantification only showed a trend to a reduced lipid accumulation, when lanifibranor was added to the culture (Figure 3F ).
