“a clear trend”

The number of subjects enrolled did not allow valid statistical analysis, although there was a clear trend toward improved volume loss in the active treatment cohort.

In any case, there seems to be a clear trend in gene transcription between those groups with Se/Hg > 1 from those with Se/Hg < 1, in which the mRNA production is decreased.

3.4 High nerve trunk density is associated with poor patient PFS and OS in breast cancer While there was a clear trend between nerve fibers and patient outcomes (Figure 5 ), analyses stratified by nerve trunks alone indicated their presence was significantly related to patient PFS (HR = 2.755, 95% CI = 1.395 to 5.439, p = 0.0258) and OS (HR = 3.845, 95% CI = 1.528 to 9.674, p = 0.0494) (Figure 6A,B ).

A clear trend of shifting from the high-wavenumber position of the rhombohedral portion of the convoluted peak to the low-wavenumber position of the tetragonal portion is observed.

3 A review summarizing the prevalence of AMD over age from various studies suggested a clear trend that the prevalence of AMD regardless of mild or severe clinical features is gradually increased with age. 2 Advances in sequencing technologies, genetic analyses, such as genomewide association studies (GWAS), using large numbers of samples from donors with AMD, enables identification of common an

Although there was a clear trend for atopic sensitization at preschool age to be more common in children with current asthma at follow-up, the low number of patients tested for atopic sensitization in our study reduced the power to demonstrate the statistical significance of this difference (Table 3 ).

BAT tracer uptake in control animals exposed to acute cold showed a clear trend toward increased uptake in BAT compared to animals housed at 21 °C but could not reach significance ( p = 0.07).

Therefore, the results are as expected as a clear trend can be seen with a correlation coefficient of −0.79.

Despite this evidence, a clear trend towards hatchery administration has been observed recently in intensive poultry farming [ 16 , 17 , 18 ].

Only MAGs from phyla Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia increased in abundance in response to warming, while remaining taxa did not show a clear trend.

However, we could see a clear trend that CD8 + cells from infected tonsils displayed an increase in TLR2, TLR3 and TLR5 (Fig 6 ).

There is no reason to assume that the older children did not encode peripheral references of the surrounding room or the younger children did not encode the proximal references of the array, but we see a clear trend over age away from erroneously using the surrounding room for retrieval.

All curves of the bond strength showed a clear trend of increasing first and then stabilizing after reaching a certain temperature, indicating that there was a temperature transition point where the melted particles came into complete contact with the surface.

Thus, this conclusion that risperidone and olanzapine are equivalent in efficacy may be statistically accurate; however, Figure 2 suggests a clear trend toward olanzapine superiority for total PANSS and BPRS scores.

We did not find a significant relationship between corticosteroid treatment and BMD changes, though there was a clear trend indicating a negative correlation between corticosteroid dose and BMD.

Nevertheless, the thermal conductivity values demonstrate a clear trend confirming the enhancement of the thermal transport capacity of nanocomposites.

Multivariate analysis and discovery of potential biomarkers Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed on the NMR spectra and the obtained score plots showed a clear trend of group clustering and discrimination between the three cohorts (see supplementary Figures S1 and S2 ).

Both the odors caused an overall de-activation, i.e., a power decrease, throughout the 90 s, while the blank odor did not cause such a clear trend, as a short increase was measured after 1 min. 3.3.

All of the MoS 2 /C-SPEs display greater HER activity than bare/unmodified SPEs, with a clear trend of increased HER activity with a larger percentage incorporation of MoS 2 /C.

On the contrary, the bands at 0.75 eV and 0.6 eV show a clear trend.

Thus, a clear trend of enhancement in the catalytic activity was observed with a decrease in the initial gold content up to ACA-1.

The PE melting enthalpies show a clear trend, as seen in Figure 4 b, starting with a very low PE melting enthalpy of 0.03 J/g for vPP, rising with the recyclate content, and ending with the high melting enthalpies of the recyclates from 1.76 J/g (rPP-B), 2.19 J/g (rPP-C), up to 2.23 J/g (rPP-A).

Although a clear trend can be seen in the samples with CHL (both free CHL and CHL@HA-NMs), no significant differences are observed.

The PM group and the SPM group have a clear trend of separation from the DSS group, and the relative distance of separation is smaller than that of the HC group.

7a shows a clear trend in TOC removal efficiency with catalyst dosage, with performance improving from 0.25 g L −1 to 1.0 g L −1 , after which a marginal decline is observed at higher dosages.
