Suicidal thoughts showed a trend that was not statistically significant.

A Spanish study conducted between 2000 and 2009 using clinical data from pediatric endocrinology units also showed an increasing trend of CPP among girls, but the overall incidence of Korean CPP between 2004 and 2010 was more than 20 times higher compared with Spanish CPP incidence between 1997 and 2009 (23.3 vs. 1.1 per 100,000 persons) [ 15 ].

From 2013 onwards, the queue emission rate manifested an increasing trend until it peaked at roughly 2200 vehicles per hour per lane.

In general, our findings point towards a decreasing trend in free-flow capacity over time, implying a decrease in the efficiency of road utilization.

A univariate analysis of the factors associated with signing a DNR form in patients with ALS found that diabetes ( p < .01), use of invasive ( p = .01) or non-invasive ventilators ( p = .003), use of NG tube feeding ( p = .007), years of follow-up ( p = .01), and number of hospitalizations ( p < .01) were highly significant ( Table 2 ).

In terms of the trends of emotions, positive psychological reactions (i.e., joy, anticipation, trust, surprise) exhibited a downward trend while negative emotions such as “fear” exhibited an increasing trend during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic.

The earlier recovery in the AYUSH plus group was also observed for ‘time to clinical recovery from the onset of symptom’ and this was marginally significant as compared to SOC ( Table 2 ).

Thus, there may be significant potential biases that were not controlled.

However, in the discussion section of the original article, it is stated that 11 of the 13 effects could be replicated - so the slightly significant finding was also counted as successful replication here, which we originally pulled out differently.

P < 0.003 was regarded as statistically significant, and P < 0.05 was considered nominally significant.

However, each municipality’s rate of consultations relative to the grand mean of all municipalities was generally stable for both Colombians and Venezuelans between the two years, as shown by the highly significant positive inter-year correlations (0.21 for Colombians and 0.35 for Venezuelans).

Wildland sites had the lowest number of species with the most distinct community composition, a significant trend for both the survey and experiment.

Specifically, the distribution of LF5 mostly differs at week 6, while LF4 exhibits an increasing trend over time ( Fig 3B ).

The activity of NR in spinach leaves showed a trend that first increased and then decreased with increasing nitrate levels ( Fig 7B ).

The malondialdehyde content in spinach leaves and roots showed an increasing trend with increasing nitrate levels.

However, an increasing trend was still observed in the resistant genotypes ( Table 6 ).

analyzed the geographical distribution of Tibetan medicine Lamiophlomis rotata in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, and the results showed that the expanded area of the suitable habitat caused by climate change was about twice the degraded area, and the area in all provinces showed an increasing trend [ 13 ].

The authors write “The pooled estimates of overweight/obesity showed high increase” and then later refer to the “rising prevalence of overweight/obesity.” Since trends were not evaluated in this study, I suggest not using words that indicate an increasing trend in order to ensure that the findings support the conclusions. 20.

In Switzerland, the significant drop on the daily number of cases (apparent from the first change-point in Fig 3 ) seems to be directly connected to the first change-point (sudden drop in the self-protective behaviors) in Fig 2 , showing that people seem to relax their adherence to preventive behaviors once there is a negative trend on the daily number of confirmed cases.

In contrast, the expression levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly decreased by TA, while the expression level of MCP-1 showed a decreasing trend in the TA-treated group.

Additionally, there is a decreasing trend in event times for this selected population when considering the combined endpoint of new diagnosis or death.

At the same time, the rate of MDR increased from 75.8% to 86.7% during the years 2013 to 2017, which showed a trend of increasing year by year, except for 2018 ( Fig 2B ).

During weekends, the reported happiness is significantly higher than during the rest of the week (p-value <0.01) and there is a negative trend on the happiness score from Monday to Wednesday, Wednesday being the day with the lowest score.

Worthwhileness scores show a positive trend during the week until Saturday and are generally higher than happiness scores, except on Sundays, when the worthwhileness scores decrease.

4) Were there any right censored individuals within 30 days? 5) Correlation does show strong relation with mortality in Fig 6D, but the authors write " does not display a strong association with mortality" 6) What is the biological reason to include MI in the model? Why would MI relate to mortality? 7) If two variables have a clear trend in individuals over time, it may be better first to remove that trend.
