SAM acts in the opposite direction with a negative trend, with a value of -0.02 ± 0.05 points/decade.

Except some countries and centers, a decreasing trend is discussed in the positivity rates of the screening tests performed before blood transfusion in our country and globally.

However, a previous controlled study evaluating the effect of the BOA program compared to a reference group showed similar results to this study for the treatment group, while the control group showed a trend towards worsening in OA symptoms (pain, QoL, self-efficacy) during the study period [ 18 ].

However, though this supplementary analysis showed a trend in the point estimates of patients reaching the primary endpoint consistent with the efficacy hypothesis defined in the protocol, the sample of the intended target population was too small to draw an adequately powered conclusion regarding efficacy.

However, changes in asprosin plasma levels under different fasting states are quite significant in previously published literature [ 1 ].

They also displayed trend of lower score in one temperament subscale (sociability) and one behavior subscale (activity) of children that reached near to significance.

Coarseness and strength in ESC showed an increasing trend; while coarseness and strength in NEC showed a decreasing trend, and volume in ESC was decreased, as shown in Fig 2 .

As shown in Fig 7 , the GI of Bok choy ( Brassica chinensis L.) in the compost pile exhibited an increasing trend in the different treatments and in the different composting stages.

In contrast, the N H 4 + ‐ N content exhibited a decreasing trend after the start of composting.

The association between income and knowledge showed a trend towards significance.

However, Table 2 shows that most clinically relevant associations, quantified as odds ratios, are accompanied by relatively small confidence intervals, and differences with respect to guideline adherence ( Table 4 ) are all highly significant.

However, because the two-way Trial Type by Condition interaction and the three-way Trial Type by Condition by First Test interaction were not significant, differences across condition and subcondition should be interpreted with caution: though a simple effect may be significant in one level but not another, this does not necessarily mean that the two simple effects are significantly different from one another under the assumption of normally distributed residuals.

Here we do see an encouraging trend towards efforts at standardizing reporting and also capturing more of the social and governance processes behind FIP outcomes in the revised reporting system coordinated by Fisheryprogress.org, a web-based FIP progress tracking tool supported by multiple organizations and currently led by FishChoice ( www.fishchoice.com ).

This can be attributed to shorter and less worked out offense in the NBA, however, there is a significant trend of decreasing number of two-point shot attempts and increasing two-point% in the NBA, while the Euroleague exhibits no significant trend in either.

Highly significant differences between the nasal and temporal quadrants were detected.

MDA content therefore reflected the weak ability of plants to respond to adverse conditions and was decreased, whereas the activity of SOD, CAT and PAL (positively correlated with disease resistance) was increased and the observed differences were statistically highly significant, confirming that the disease resistance of the transgenic plants was enhanced.

to tested antibiotics did not change during the observation period except for carbapenem resistance, which showed an increasing trend since 2010/11 in both hospital settings ( Fig 3 ).

While there was a slight trend towards lower MDI and PDI in children with grades 2/3/4 Papile PIVH, this difference was not statistically significant.

This complex pattern likely obscures an overall trend, leading to an insignificant regression analysis.

Although, our analysis found that there was a decreasing trend in retention rates from 6 weeks after birth until 18 months after birth in both intervention and control arms, the outcome was significantly better for the participants in the intervention arm.

However, the percentage change post-HT/CL #2 compared to pre-HT/CL levels was less than double the percentage change post-HT/CL #1 compared to pre-HT/CL levels, indicating a decreasing trend in the PEFR increase.

Insomnia symptoms showed a highly significant association with MetS (aOR 11.038; CI95% 2.867–42.493).

MoNRE climate models estimate that the number of hot days (maximum daily temperature is greater than 35°C) may be an increasing trend across the entire country until 2100.

Hence, I would like to share some thoughts that may improve the presentation of data? General: I would strongly recommend the authors to not use borderline significance, unless more stringent discussion on how to interpret the data should be made.

Emission from iron and steel Assessing the amount of dioxin released per tonne of metal produced, revealed a decreasing trend of dioxin emissions over the period of 1990–2017 ( Fig 2 ).
