A positive estimate is indicative of a positive trend, while a negative value indicates a negative trend.

Points above this line indicate a positive trend, while points below suggest a negative trend.

In the end of the first section of the Discussion, the authors initially present the positive association between prenatal lead exposure and head circumference, which was only apparent in girls, while there was a tendency of a negative trend in boys.

As timely detection of a negative trend is particularly important for small, isolated units (Thompson et al., 2000 ; Wilson, Hammond, & Thompson, 1999 ), solutions to enhance the likelihood of detection through greater precision of the estimates and/or increased sample size should be considered.

In this study, at the phylum level, we found positive trend of association between Bacteroidetes and the PNS cluster, and there was a negative trend or association between Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and the PNS cluster prior to RT.

The increase in minimum and mean temperatures in the winter period and a negative trend in the number of days below 0 °C indicate shorter and less severity winters.

In case of an unexpected or a negative trend, possible corrective measures should be discussed and the treatment planning should be adapted accordingly.

Using age alone to predict the increase in frequencies between day 0 and day 28 showed a negative trend, but did not reach significance (p = 0.18).

In contrast, exclusion of these apparent zero values produced a negative trend.

Furthermore, the dose-response relationship between NDVI buffer distance and birth outcome was examined in a meta-regression analysis revealed a negative trend but no significant difference.

noted that maintenance of segmental correction was associated with superior clinical outcomes, whereas loss of segmental correction correlated with a negative trend in JOA scores over follow-up [ 38 ].

This provides a continuous numeric scale, with a central, or zero, position at the awake, non-stressed condition, and extends with a negative trend with decreased cellular oxygen supply, and a positive trend with excess cellular oxygen supply.

Therefore, it is possible that, independent of the pandemic, a negative trend in satisfaction may have occurred among initially highly satisfied individuals.

Our study found a negative trend between the number of years since stocking occurred and the degree of wild‐hatchery introgression.

Differently from the WTW costs, when the difficulty of the secondary task increased (i.e., carrying a glass of water and a ball on a round tray) we found a negative association with visual memory and recall and a negative trend with verbal memory, rote learning, attention, and concentration (i.e., digit-forward subtest).

However, it displayed a negative trend in several stations in the southwest and southeast of the Caspian Sea ( Fig. 3 b).

Cassowaries' habitat associations did not support our initial hypothesis of a negative trend with the human footprint covariate (Kirika et al. 2008 ; Newbold et al. 2014 ).

Empirical evidence generally supports the validity of the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis on a negative trend in terms of trade for commodity-exporting countries in the long run, even though with different intensities for different commodities and periods (Harvey et al. 2010 ; Erten and Ocampo 2013 ; Baffes and Etienne 2016 ).

Phytoplankton Trends Few significant correlations were detected between PBDE phytoplankton concentrations and δ 15 N values except for the 2010/2011 season, where almost all congeners detected showed a negative trend of decreasing concentration with increasing δ 15 N value.

Distribution was constant over time, although the sulfonylurea prescriptions as a combination treatment showed a negative trend, with DPP4i becoming the most prescribed from 2017 (Fig. 1 of the ESM).

Only genotypes GI.4[P4], GII.2[P16], GII.4[P16], GII.4[P31] and GII.17[P17] were consistently detected every year, and only abundance of GII.2[P16] showed a negative trend over time.

A negative trend in pomological traits is evident among the F1 progenies resulting from this reciprocal crossbreeding combination.

Statistical calculations for Cs-137 in wild boar muscles The regression analysis performed for wild boar muscles indicated a slow decreasing trend for the medians (slope coefficient −0.441 Bq/kg), which was also confirmed by the M-K test, which indicated a negative trend.
