showed only a nonsignificant trend of increase in ICD shocks.

5G , p = 0.08), albeit a clear trend was still detectable.

Moreover, a positive trend with increasing birth length was noted for premenopausal breast cancer.

We further noted a statistical trend of borderline significance for a greater risk of premenopausal breast cancer in daughters with increasing birth length (p for trend = 0.06; Table 4 ).

Supplementary Figure S5, E shows that for all experimental conditions in these studies, the regression coefficient showed a value of −0.2847, indicative of a negative trend, but not a strong linear relationship.

This was strongest in the control and cells exposed to 100 μM glutamate, but still indicative of only a weak rather than a strong trend.

In multi-adjusted models, δ 15 N was still negatively associated with the risk of being severely stunted whereas the association was marginally significant for δ 13 C (Supplementary Table S4 ).

In contrast, BPF99 had a highly significant effect on JNK and p38 MAPK phosphorylation returning them to levels seen in chow fed mice and lower than the levels seen in positive controls (Fig. 5 , panels A, D and E; p < 0.001 for both).

It significantly improved NASH resolution (p < 0.001) and the SAF scores (p < 0.05) while the NAS improvement approached significance.

The analysis of the available historical data 77 highlights a significant trend of acidification of the water masses in the marine area from which the organisms were sampled (Supplementary Fig.

Figure 7B indicates that miR-135b inhibition consistently showed a trend of lowering the expression level of the Wnt target genes compared to a control transfection although without reaching statistical significance.

Analyses were carried out using Graphpad Prism 7 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), with P values < 0.05 considered statistically significant and P values < 0.01 considered highly significant, respectively.

We determined levels of IL-8 and CRP in plasma among HSCT patients and found a marginally significant overall correlation between the CRP and IL-8 levels.

A marginally significant positive association between MSPSS scores and rsFC was also observed between the right amygdala and bilateral precuneus ( x = 6, y = −60, z = 51; T (45) = 4.12; 648 mm 3 ; BA 7; p < 0.10, cluster-level corrected).

The TC adsorption capacity of ceramsite showed a trend of firstly increasing and then decreasing with the increase of preheating time (Fig. 4 ).

In modern nautilids with and without pathology, chamber volumes show an increasing trend although individuals with a pathology leading to premature death often exhibit fluctuations.

Highly significant heterogeneity was observed in both the χ 2 and I 2 tests, hence the implication that all studies evaluate the same effect was decisively rejected.

Runoff variation trend Figure 2 shows the temporal runoff variations of river basins seleted from 1981 to 2014 based on SWAT simulations The runoff of the four river basins shows a decreasing trend over the 34 year period. the runoff reduction of Dadu River and Tuojiang River basins were relatively substantial, with gradients of −1.93 mm/a (R 2 = 0.17) and −1.90 mm/a (R 2 = 0.12), respectively, while the reduction of Qingyi River and Minjiang River basins was relatively less, which gradients −1.04 mm/a (R 2 = 0.09) and −1.16 mm/a (R 2 = 0.11), respectively.

It showed an increasing trend before 1998 and a decreasing trend after 1998, confirming the weakening of the MH intensity during the GWH period (Fig. 5a ).

Similar to SST, upper ocean heat content (0–200 m) and sea level anomaly show a positive trend during the GWH period (Fig. 2b ) confirming the warming of the upper water column during the period.

SST anomaly in the MH region shows a negative trend during the preGWH and positive trend during the GWH (Fig. 2a ; red line).

The lack of a significant trend in rainfall was mainly due to Indian monsoon is a complex nonlinear phenomenon involving atmosphere, ocean, and land-based processes 34 .

However, our results did not show a decreasing trend in 20 years’ time period for any studied nutrients in the CR-LTE plots.
