“a decreasing trend”

Although there was a decreasing trend compared to ABBM, the difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05).

∆CRP levels also showed an increasing trend in the sepsis group from day 1 to days 3, 5, and 7, while a decreasing trend was seen in the latter after an initial increase (P<0.05) ( Figure 2 ).

Colorectal cancer showed a decreasing trend in urban areas (AAPC=−0.87%, p<0.05).

A decreasing trend in the concentration of elements in autumn season was recorded for Ba ( p < 0.05), Li ( p < 0.0001), and Sr ( p < 0.01).

These contrasting trends for the two country groups are linked to their respective ISA expansion trends, with the NAI countries having a strong increasing trend over time (320.9 km 2 yr −2 , p < 0.01), which, again, is partly offset by a decreasing trend for the AI countries (−15.4 km 2 yr −2 , p > 0.05).

For interpreting the results, the following criteria were considered: an increasing trend - APC positive and p<0.05; a decreasing trend - APC negative and p<0.05; stationary, when the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the value of the variation and zero is accepted (p>0.05) ( 12 ) .

Similarly, the corresponding SHR and 95 % CI for cardiovascular death also showed a decreasing trend across 25(OH)D categories, with a significant trend p-value of < 0.05 ( Table 3 ).

Conversely, the carotenoid content exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing concentrations of retinoic acid, with a significant decrease observed in the 50 μg/g group ( Figure 9 C, p < 0.05).

With increasing CA concentration, the absolute zeta-potential of the complex exhibited a decreasing trend, with no significant differences ( p < 0.05) observed between all concentrations.

From 2005 to 2020, the prevalence of malnutrition showed a decreasing trend ( P <0.05), but there was a rebound in 2020 from 2015, mainly because it may be caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

After SSP intervention, serum Cr level of mice showed a decreasing trend compared with that in the CX group ( p > 0.05), whereas BUN level presented a tendency to increase ( p > 0.05) ( Figures 3B, C ), demonstrating that SSP caused changes in the kidney function of diarrhea mice with DYKS.

Among these, one study ( Guo and Liao, 2022 ) observed a decreasing trend in the NIHSS score ( p < 0.05).

The p-Akt/Akt expression ratio also showed a decreasing trend ( P < 0.05), while PTEN expression was significantly increased ( P < 0.05) ( Figure 6 ).

Mean GPH and GMH T-scores showed a decreasing trend with age ( p < 0.05).

These genes exhibited a decreasing trend following treatment with berberine, showing significant differences at a dosage of 100 mg/kg of berberine ( p < 0.05).

(2) The RAESD of the two groups showed a decreasing trend with the increase of time ( P < 0.05).

The abundance of NDP52 protein decreased significantly in model mice compared with that in the controls ( P < 0.01), and the level of OPTN protein exhibited a decreasing trend ( P > 0.05); however, treatment with high- and low-dose PNS induced a significant elevation in the levels of NDP52 and OPTN proteins ( P < 0.05) (Fig. 4 E-I).

These two alpha diversity indexes showed a decreasing trend in a stepwise manner from S, CS, and L to R (Dunnett's test, p < 0.05) (Figure 1A ).

In addition, the R568 group exhibited a decreasing trend, while the NPS2143 group exhibited an increasing trend to the ratio compared with the SHR+NS group at 24 weeks ( p < 0.05; Figure 1E ).

FTT, one of the most frequently reported extra intestinal manifestation [ 28 ], showed a decreasing trend at older ages (chi square, p > 0.05).

We observed a decreasing trend in detection of SMCs in the 90- and 180-day groups as compared with the 28-day group ( p < 0.05; Table 2 ).

However, the rats in the L-Thy + SO 2 group showed a significant increase in BW values compared with the L-Thy group (p < 0.05), while the HW/BW values demonstrated a decreasing trend without statistically significant differences (p > 0.05).

The PaO 2 showed a significant increase ( P < 0.05), the PaCo 2 demonstrated a decreasing trend ( P < 0.05), and the oxygenation index significantly increased ( P < 0.001) in both groups.

After being treated with ultrasound, the soluble protein content of the hybrid gels presented a decreasing trend ( P < 0.05).

Trend analysis indicated a decreasing trend in all malaria infections since late 2017 (monthly reduction = 0.81%, p-value <0.05), while Pf infections have increased progressively since 2015 (monthly increase = 0.46%, p-value <0.05).
