“a clear trend”

Overall, it was not possible to note a clear trend, with studies at higher risk of bias showing sometimes higher sometimes lower summary estimates than trials at lower risk of bias (and most confidence intervals overlapping).

In contrast, oxidation with K 2 RuO 4 showed a clear trend: the longer the bisulfite incubation, the lower were the C/(C + T) ratios, reflecting efficient oxidation of 5hmC to 5fC and subsequent conversion to uracil.

A clear trend was not observed for yellowness, short fiber content by number (SFCn, %), visible foreign matter (VFM, %), and nep count in any of the years.

There was a clear trend between the presence of a PCR band and the number of sequencing reads, with 9% of samples containing 300–500 reads having a band vs. 71% of samples with 1000–5000 and 91% of samples with more than 5000 reads (Fig. 1 a).

6 ), revealing a clear trend for import sites to be located ~30 nm apart ( Fig. 3g ).

International migration did not follow a clear trend, but, overall, during this period, Italy turned from an emigration to an immigration country, to the effect that the net migration rate became positive (Panel D).

All these factors led to an important level of heterogeneity in our meta-analysis, and thus, it was difficult to show a clear trend or superiority in the treatment of cholestatic pruritus.

A clear trend was observed in which the accumulation of early and late alleles resulted in earlier and later DTF, respectively.

Spatial pattern of FIB distribution A clear trend emerged in studies analysing multiple lake cores, where in most cases, higher bacterial concentrations were found close to pollution sources.

Histopathological examination results showed a clear trend of in vivo resorption for the four experimental CPCs as follows.

These data show a clear trend that lower DP levan-type fructans have higher priming potential.

In women of the early postmenopausal stage, compared with those in perimenopause, we detected lower PPA values over 24-h period, at night, and a clear trend of its decrease in daytime hours.

The regular and IR camera images of these coatings revealed a clear trend: reducing white pigment loading resulted in a darker green color and improved barcode readability.

The continuous model also showed a significant inverse association when apigenin intake was analyzed continuously ( β = 0.506; 95% CI: 0.285–0.896; P = .021), with a clear trend across quartiles ( P for trend < 0.001).

Results Clinical data Perinatal and postnatal clinical factors obtained from the medical records of the participants in the study show that some of these characteristics (type of childbirth; skin-to-skin contact, hospitalization at birth, and incubator required) did not show a clear trend that allows establishing a relationship between the factors measured and BMI, even so, we were able to observe that only 20% of normal-weight children had premature gestation, of the 80% who were born full term, 84.9% had optimal birth weights (2.5–4 kg), as detailed in Table 1 .

Without any intermediate gas purification, the study circumvents the issue of residual CO 2 affecting FE in Cell-2 by assuming that, under the highly alkaline conditions present, any unreacted CO 2 will be rapidly adsorbed and precipitate as bicarbonate on the cathode surface. In reality, the presence of CO 2 in the CO stream from Cell-1 makes it impossible to accurately calculate FE in Cell-2, as the participation of CO 2 in downstream reactions disrupts standard FE calculations. However, if we set aside this complication and accept the authors’ approach, the reported results indicate a clear trend: higher CO concentration from Cell-1 leads to increased FE for C 2+ products in Cell-2 ( Figure b).

As the inhibitor concentration increases, both MPA and MPO show a clear trend of corrosion inhibition.

The outcomes ‘non-fatal MI’ (total seven studies) and ‘non-fatal stroke’ (total three studies) also did not show a clear trend, but all studies varied in design and population thus hindering a further evaluation by meta-analysis.

The success rates were 64/63/64/71%, respectively, not showing a clear trend as a function of the box size and not better than when including only the ligand and the covalently bound side chain in the PS.

Interestingly, their melting points followed a clear trend as alkyl chain length increased, initially decreasing and then slightly rising: A3 displayed the lowest melting point (≈80 °C), while A4 required slightly higher temperature, and A1 and A2 demanded significantly higher temperatures (>200 °C and >100 °C, respectively).

There appears to be a clear trend: the more weight there is assigned to exploratory steps, the easier it appears to decide on the node groupings.

Moreover, there were also significant increases in the PIR from Q1 to Q4 ( p < 0.001), as well as in dietary intake, including energy ( p < 0.001) and macronutrients such as protein and carbohydrates (both p < 0.001), indicating a clear trend toward higher socioeconomic status and improved dietary intake from Q1 to Q4.

Although a clear universal methodology for venom purification could not be elucidated, there is a clear trend for two-step liquid chromatography involving SEC to isolate a single toxin.

The strength of the correlations with Goodwood, Tableview and City Hall AAQM stations did not follow a clear trend according to distance from the Kraaifontein sampling site.

The results obtained from Chl b data did not show a clear trend between the percentage of B light and the concentration of Chl b ( Figure 8 B).
