“a clear trend”

Since 2013, H9N2 viruses circulating in China have shown a clear trend toward increased affinity for human-type receptors ( 50 , 51 ).

Examining the expression of six structural and three regulatory phenylpropanoid/flavonoid-associated genes in leaves of y and wt plants revealed a clear trend of down-regulated expression for all of the tested genes in fully expanded y leaves ( Figure S6A ).

If we talk about the relationship of health status with multimorbidity, we observed a clear trend: the higher the number of conditions in the patterns, the worse the values on the SF-12 scale in its two dimensions, a trend that is confirmed in other studies with health quality-of-life [ 16 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].

A clear trend was observed with increasing Zn doses: Fe decreased by 12.9–32.7%, while P increased by 5.8–17% in the aboveground biomass; however, not all changes were statistically significant ( Table 1 ).

We observed a clear trend of Activin-A to diminish immune infiltrates that was associated with a significant reduction of CTL and NK cell proportions ( figure 1A–C ).

A clear trend emerges: multimodal and weakly supervised approaches, integration of peritumoral regions, and temporal modeling are showing promise across multiple clinical targets.

Although there was considerable variability in the data, we observed a clear trend where M308I currents increased more steeply than those of WT or M308V channels ( Fig 2C ).

Nevertheless, while not statistically relevant, altered levels of a few metabolites, as mentioned above, were observed in the FH/V−/USV− group compared to the HeFH one, delineating a clear trend.

Within the MAF-treated groups, the M-1500 groups displayed a clear trend of increasing compressive stress magnitude with longer polishing duration.

There was a clear trend towards improved outcome in patients receiving high-dose steroids, but, no significant relationship.

Results The analysis of methadone treatments in Basel-City indicates a clear trend in age development of the MMT population, as depicted in Figure 1 .

The results of the Horizon scanning show a clear trend toward development of drug delivery systems as well as a trend in the development of nanomaterials for dental applications such as surface filling or tooth replacement.

Although OSS led to a clear trend of orientation dependence of the activation, no statistically significant differences were reached in CP (0°, 60°–120°, −90°, −60°; p FDR = 0.086) or LS (0°–60°, −120°, −60°, −30°; p FDR = 0.086), while the IL and NAc showed virtually no dependence on stimulation angle with no statistically significant differences.

Overall, Zn fertilization had less significant effect on time to panicle initiation under the non-drought scenario, although there was a clear trend for reducing the time to panicle formation in all Zn treatments.

However, there was a clear trend between knowledge of husbands regarding MNH issues and their involvement in utilization of relevant services as the odds ratios were universally greater than one for all categories.

For both currents, there was a clear trend of increasing current amplitude with increasing MeHg ( Table 1 , S1 Fig ).

During the last decade, there has been a clear trend of improvement in estrus detection due to the use of such technologies.

In recent years we experienced a clear trend of replacing surgery with SRS and favouring SRS over conventional WBRT has been observed.

However, a clear trend for the effect of electronic property of the substituent on the enantioselectivity could not be obtained.

Thus, no clear evidence of classification was verified, as the numbers are close to half of the participants, not indicating a clear trend.

The photocatalytic data revealed a clear trend for both sample sets: the activity first increased with calcination temperature to reach a maximum at 100 °C/150 °C, then by further increasing the temperature a gradual decrease of the HER takes place.

Tables 1 - 2 present both knowledge perception and interest in learning, and a clear trend emerges: instructors who rated their knowledge as “Poor” often showed higher interest in learning.

Measuring the ratio between the inner and outer oxide shell thicknesses at different temperatures demonstrates a clear trend for the formation of thinner inner oxide layers in beam-on particles, as presented in Figure 4 f.

The first systematic review of the literature described a clear trend towards improved survival after resection [ 14 ••].

Interestingly, a clear trend towards reduced Th17 levels in draining lymph nodes of mice receiving either early single or combination treatment was present, despite the late time point of analysis (day 35).
