PCA scores plot of the dilution series from Sudan I ( Figure 3 b) shows a clear trend along PC 1 axis from positive to negative scores with increasing concentrations, the linear range which for Sudan I is 0.048–0.002 mM.

Although there was no statistically significant difference in the results, there was a clear trend toward improvement at 3 and 6 months, with the authors suggesting that the reason for the absence of a difference may be related to wear and tear on the upper extremity RT training apparatus, participant adherence, and attrition rates ( 156 ).

A recent observational study failed to prove the existence of significant outcome differences among TICI3 and TICI2b patients when applying the oTICI or mTICI scale, although a clear trend was recognisable. 15 However, significant differences between TICI2c/3 and TICI2b were noted if the eTICI scale was applied.

The analysis reveals a clear trend of increasing overtopping risks over time, with the severity magnifying under higher RCP scenarios.

However, we found a clear trend whereby the stabilization mechanism of proteins from hyperthermophiles originates from slow unfolding, based on data from monomeric proteins with reversible unfolding.

In contrast, the Industrial Era (IE: 1850–2012 CE) shows a clear trend from neutral to positive values (− 0.2 to 0.6) punctuated by large decadal oscillations (~ 2.5) during the second half.

In detail, there was a trend of annual expansion from 1990 to 2009, and a clear trend of contraction from 2009 to 2019, especially in the eastern part of Chaoyang and the northern part of Haidian.

In summary, first-line SOX plus sintilimab for advanced gastric cancer shows a clear trend and advantage over conventional chemotherapy.

The clonogenic survival data reveal a clear trend: increased LET correlates with heightened cellular radiosensitivity across all tested cell lines.

In the Swiss context, there is a clear trend towards a pronounced shortage of personnel, with too few employees possessing the necessary qualifications, NHs struggle to fill vacancies, high staff turnover, and the indispensable need to recruit personnel from abroad.

We did, however, see a clear trend towards higher flow rates in patients with healed wounds compared to hard-to-heal wounds.

Furthermore, incubation with 3E8 did not trigger a clear trend of ACE2 degradation in Vero E6 cells, as indicated by Western blot (Fig. 5c ).

This suggests a clear trend associating cardiovascular atherosclerotic diseases with heightened LT production.

The results revealed a clear trend as the resistance increases, the open circuit voltage ( V oc ) increases, while the short circuit current (I sc ) decreases.

In addition, we saw a clear trend of deep learning models underperforming compared to statistical ones in terms of IBS, suggesting that deep learning models tend to be calibrated worse than statistical ones, even when using the same loss function.

Blastocysts delayed in development had a significantly higher rate of oxygen consumption and a clear trend toward higher protein expression of electron transport system (ETS) complexes than faster-developing embryos, consistent with an upregulation of oxidative metabolism.

Although our study did not detect a statistically significant reduction in whole-brain IL-6 levels, a clear trend toward normalization was observed in the tirzepatide- and fluoxetine-treated groups.

A clear trend was observed, in which higher laser power used in fabrication resulted in wider and deeper microchannel dimensions.

Handgrip muscles are the only ones that present a clear trend (at least in right-handed individuals) of 8–16% towards a stronger dominant than non-dominant side [ 3 ].

This demonstrates a clear trend of increasing specific surface area with higher chitosan content.

Although a clear trend for a reduction in Treg levels with HDI induction therapy in patients with melanoma was observed, statistical significance was not reached.
