Excerpts

All pairwise comparisons between subgroups show highly significant differences (SI Table 1).

We applied the Bonferroni correction, a more stringent procedure, to discard the slightly significant variables.

A possible reason for the lack of a clear trend in the accommodation facility is that viral shedding in COVID-19 patients is highest from 2 days before symptom onset to the day after onset 25 , 27 , 28 .

The effect of reward, though clearly significant in both studies, was about 4–5 times smaller than that of effort.

As shown in Table 1 , there was a decreasing trend of the long link weights and an increasing trend of the short link weights proportional to the progression of the disease.

The mean and SD of vertex strength (the total weight of the vertex connections) also had a decreasing trend.

At the same time, the standard division also showed an increasing trend.

For the cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 secreted after pro-Caspase-1 activation, IL-18 is significantly increased in patients with acute brucellosis, while IL-1β shows an increasing trend but is not statistically significant; in chronic brucellosis patients, IL-18 and IL-1β levels are not statistically different from healthy controls (Fig. 3 ).

A clear trend is shown in the data from both 4D-Flow MRI and CFD; as the spatial resolution the 4D-Flow MRI scan is taken at is refined, the diameter of the inlet patch reduces, resulting in the 4 mm × 4 mm × 4 mm spatial resolution reporting the largest inlet area for both data-sets.

After adjusting for clinicopathologic features and stratifying for molecular subtype the hazard ratios showed a trend but lost statistical significance for all endpoints.

Also, an increasing trend of lifetime maximum intensity of rapidly intensifying TCs was witnessed over the past few decades for the coastal regions in the WNP basin 3 .

Effect of HFD feeding on resistin levels and TLR4 expression Obese rats showed highly significant increase in the serum level and cartilage tissue content of resistin by about 161, 398%, respectively compared to control rats (Fig. 2 A,B).

Subsequently, the MPC gradually declined by April 2020 with MPC [95% CI] of − 0.8% [− 0.9 − − 0.6], which again showed an increasing trend until the end of the study period (MPC [95% CI]; 1.5% [0.2–2.8]).

We found an aggregation of increased RSVs around the CCAM period in 2019, but its peak was at week 6 (middle of February) and the joinpoint analysis did not find a significant trend change point during the awareness month.

We also found a positive trend, although not significant, in the second session (r 2 = 0.6186, p = 0.1146, animals n = 5) (Fig. 5 B).

Comparing the osteosyntheses all in combination with bone cement to each other, the plate showed a trend to a lower displacement, but the significance levels were not reached (500 N: group 3, 5 [p = 0.90]; group 3, 7 [p = 0.64]; group 5, 7 [p = 0.92]) (1000 N: group 10, 12 [p = 0.11]; group 10, 14 [p = 0.14]; group 12, 14 [p = 0.86]).

Further, the treatment group also showed a trend to a reduction in fed plasma insulin that was not statistically significant on days 14 and 21 compared to HFD control (Fig. 5 B).

Due to the number of degrees of freedom of the system even such a weak correlation was statistically highly significant. 2 \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\begin{aligned}& {\text{IOA}} = 2.95 \, {-}3.97{\text{

We observe an overall trend of increasing bacterial load with weight gain in patients with AN.

After cupping, the skin temperature showed a trend of initial increase and later decrease, and the maximum value (T max ) was taken as the representative parameter for this stage.

Days to emergence showed negative and weak association with dry pod weight (r = − 0.19), dry seed weight (r = − 0.12), and yield (r = − 0.19) while positive and moderately significant correlation was found with harvest index (r = 0.16), days to maturity ( r = 0.40), and days to 50% flowering (r = 0.58).

In general, China’s import risks are showing an increasing trend year by year.

Greater economic affluence may allow people to have more opportunity to modify body weight though a number of interventions, which may be significant depending on socioeconomic status.
