Excerpts

For example, A study from China found higher NLR values in severe and critical cases compared to mild cases [ 30 ] while another study from Turkey demonstrated an increasing trend of NLR values with disease severity [ 31 ].

p < 0.05 was seen as significant for all tests and denoted with the *, whereas p < 0.01 was regarded as extremely significant and denoted with the **. 3.

Similarly, the expenditure of LMWH exhibit a decreasing trend in 2022–2023 ( Fig 3D ).

Unlike the 3 days strength, the 28 days strength of the hardened backfill showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing, suggesting that the incorporation of oil shale residue is beneficial to the development of compressive strength when the content is less than 20%.

The growth rate of the national EDI shows a decreasing trend year by year, from 6.18% in 2003–2004 to 1.75% in 2019–2020 ( Fig 2 ), which indicates that the growth rate of EDI continues to decline as the level of educational development increases.

The extent of tumor resection showed a trend towards improved survival with gross total resection (GTR), though this was not statistically significant (HR: 0.663, 95% CI: 0.430–1.022, p = 0.063).

The HI-5 trial, which was published a year later, showed a trend toward reduced mortality with intensive glucose control, though not statistically significant [ 31 ].

T2 showed a decreasing trend, T3 showed a decreasing and then an increasing trend, and it reached the lowest in the middle of the stem dry weight of 30-40g.

Under different fertilizer application patterns, which showed a decreasing trend, then increasing and then decreasing on the soil temperature.

With different fertilization modes, the above-ground biomass showed a trend of decreasing, then increasing and then decreasing, and the above-ground biomass for the T3 reached the maximum, during the flowering and pustulation stage.

In Fig 10A , the path utilization of Model 1, Model 2, and Model MPLLRM-SDN all show a decreasing trend as the transmission task volume increases.

This study also proves this point of view through the rainfall in-situ test: when significant soil erosion occurs in the three test areas, the soil water content at all depths show an increasing trend, but the soil has not reached saturation.

Differences in the depth of surveys, as well as cover estimation methods (e.g., use of quadrats, chain transects) creates difficulties for obtaining a clear trend over time for Orbicella species.

On the contrary, when the content of luffa fiber exceeded 1%, the compressive strength showed a decreasing trend.

The experimental results showed that when the content of luffa fiber was 0.5% or 1%, the compressive strength of cement mortar exhibited an increasing trend.

The digital village construction and high-quality agricultural development in the eastern region far exceed the national average, while the central and western regions are relatively backward, which shows a decreasing trend from east to west.

The mechanisms of protein association ( AS ) or dissociation ( DIS ) are highly significant in clinical contexts.

Decreased volumes were seen in overall white matter within the bilateral hemispheres, across the groups, [Left, 19144 mm 3 vs 18911 mm 3 vs 17812 mm 3 vs 17018 mm 3 , p = 0 · 05 ; Right, 19012 mm 3 vs 18533 mm 3 vs 17705 mm 3 vs 17017 mm 3 , p = 0 · 04 NS-AS respectively] exhibiting a near statistical significance between Group NS and Group AS.

Notably, the color distribution of the bars in Fig 3 reveals an interesting trend.

Specifically, the footrest plus change arm position intervention showed a trend toward greater reductions in muscle co-contraction and discomfort, suggesting that it might be a more effective strategy for mitigating the negative effects of prolonged standing and prevent LBP.

The contents of ABA and JA generally showed an increasing trend from ZY_1 to ZY_4, while the content of IAA was significantly higher only in ZY_1 and ZY_4 stages compared to other stages.

Finally, BMI and having more than one ulcer at baseline are marginally significant.

The serum metabolites under the action of TFRD showed a trend towards the sham group.

On the other hand, an increasing trend in mortality was observed in the 60–64 and 65–69 age groups among males, with EAPC values of 1.27% (95%CI: 0.48% to 2.06%) and 1.22% (95%CI: 0.18% to 2.27%), respectively ( Fig 3B ).

Across all 10 regions, the analysis highlights a clear trend: urban areas demonstrate noticeably higher levels of modern contraceptive use in urban compared to rural areas.
