“a clear trend”

The subgroup analysis revealed a clear trend: lower income levels were associated with greater delays in cancer treatment, resulting in prolonged LOS, higher medical costs, and increased mortality rates.

A clear trend was observed in response to increasing collector dosage: higher collector concentrations led to an improvement in copper recovery, attributed to enhanced hydrophobicity and increased attachment of copper-bearing particles to air bubbles.

Although the differences in EV size between frozen, EDTA-supplemented EVs and 250 μM TRE concentrations were not significant, a clear trend can be inferred (Fig. 3 ).

Even in the dry tundra, where the overall effect size of warming was not significant, most OTUs showed a clear trend, with only a small fraction of OTUs seemingly unaffected by warming.

Detailed analysis of SE density in this study shows a clear trend: as the unloading rate increases, stress concentration inside the rock becomes more significant, leading to more internal friction between cracks, and consequently, a greater density of dissipated SE.

The PCA score plot in positive and negative ion mode showed a clear trend of separation in the blank group and the model group, indicating that the metabolites were significantly disturbed. 6-week TBC treatment was significantly separated from the model group, suggesting that TBC altered the metabolic status of diabetic lower extremity arterial disease ( Figures 5A , B ).

Metric Interpretation The contingency‐table grouping (Table 1 ) highlights a clear trend: 2CXM generally outperforms TK in blind deconvolution.

Considering the uncertainty in the estimates, the results do not show a clear trend toward either higher or lower RR for individuals with diabetes compared to those without, for both extreme heat and extreme cold conditions.

Although no differences in CD8+/CD38+/HLA-DR+ T cells percentages were found between non-CARD and CARD CP ( P = 0.07), it is worth to notice that the latter group showed a clear trend towards higher frequencies ( Figure S2B ).

There is a clear trend in the optical gaps of these three polymer films.

Figure 5c and d illustrates the changes of mean and standard deviation as different acquisition times were used to quantify T 1 and T 2 , with a clear trend towards lower error at longer acquisition times.

A clear trend to increase of these signs following nicotine cessation was always observed.

There is also a clear trend in the H 2 and CO selectivities with the former being favored at low flow rates, while the latter is favored at higher flow rates.

Although we could see a clear trend toward more pronounced LV dysfunction and higher NT-proBNP levels in MWF+ patients, a larger patient cohort may be needed to demonstrate statistically significant differences between MWF– and MWF+ patients with regard to clinical and functional markers of heart failure.

The risk score distribution showed a clear trend where higher scores correlated with increased patient mortality.

12 However, when we grouped the pairs according to their structural similarity, and averaged their transcriptomic similarity within each group, we observed a clear trend that the group with higher structural similarity tends to have higher transcriptomic similarity ( Figure 2 a ).

1 B) lack a clear trend over time, with residuals evenly scattered around zero.

Overall, research in this field demonstrates a clear trend of international collaboration, reflecting the concentration of academic hotspots and offering new opportunities for advancing multinational cooperative research.

A clear trend was observed with the effect of material hardness on amorphization.

These data reveal a clear trend: as flow rates increases, the temporal overlap in the perfusion processes of the two chambers increase significantly.

In the same type of soil, the relative abundance of the bacterial phyla did not show a clear trend with increasing soil depth.

The positive Laplacian values (∇ 2 ρ ) at the BCPs are typical of metal–ligand bonding [29] but we do not observe a clear trend in the experimental values for the Zn−N and Co−N bonds presumably due to experimental noise (see Supporting Information, Figure S2 and Figure S4).

Although none of these comparisons reached statistical significance, there was a clear trend suggesting a favorable impact of consuming a low GI diet on the insulin/IGF-1 pathway.

Despite living in the same deprived area, oral health needs of the adolescents were ranked according to family socioeconomic background and a clear trend was observed between FDI groups and adolescents’ dental needs considering normative needs and sociodental approach.

A clear trend emerges from the plots: as the FCND concentration increases, the diameter of the semicircle becomes larger.
