Other post hoc analysis showed that there was a negative trend between the PFN count and non-Hispanic Black race ( p = 0.005), and that PFN volume was greater in current smokers compared to never-smokers ( p = 0.058) and in those which had been exposed to a dusty work environment ( p = 0.043) ( Table 4 ).

At baseline, Cluster 1 had better motor function, functional capacity, and less apathy with a positive trend for higher PA, compared with Cluster 2, which had a negative trend for decreased PA over time ( p = 0.006).

We also found a negative trend for an association between SN-DMN coupling and WM task percent correct (PC, r = -0.5197, p = 0.0065) ( Fig 4b ); as the SN-DMN coupling increased, the participant responded more incorrectly.

Furthermore, a negative trend was found between sperm morphology (Q1, 6.0%; Q2–Q4, 5.0%) and semen collection time ( P = 0.007), as well as a positive trend between seminal leukocytes (Q1–Q2, 0.1 × 10 6 ml −1 ; Q3–Q4, 0.2 × 10 6 ml −1 ) and semen collection time ( P = 0.03).

In addition, the PHQ-2 score was positively associated with NuPCI-A [+0.535 (+0.45, +0.61), p < 0.001] and a negative trend was present with NuPCI-PP [−0.159 (−0.27, −0.04), p = 0.007, n.s. after FDR correction] scale scores.

However, for perseverative errors, the experimental group showed a positive oscillation, and the control group showed a negative trend ( p = 0.008, η 2 p = 0.218).

A negative trend was observed for the total sample (-1.3 pp; p = 0.009) and PT (-2.3 pp; p < 0.001), with proportions remaining reduced over time when compared to before the pandemic.

In men, n-3 α-linolenic acid, the essential fatty acid of the n-3 family, tended to be positively correlated with obesity (r = 0.18, p = 0.04, q = 0.24), while a negative trend was found for long-chain n-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (r = −0.24, p = 0.009, q = 0.10).

The players’ error rate in the topic “Mask” showed a negative trend ( r =–.83; P =.01) over the weeks of follow-up.

The analgesic trajectory in women and men undergoing LOA presented a negative trend, but the pain intensity at 0–2, 2–6, 6–12, and 12–24 h in women was statistically lower than that of the OBA group ( p = 0.01, p = 0.008, p = 0.002, and p = 0.001).

Iodine concentration in cod larvae versus rotifers The rate of increase in cod larvae I concentrations decreased as dietary I levels (rotifer I concentration) increased, and thus the I concentration ratio between cod larvae and rotifers displayed a negative trend ( Fig. 4 ; p < 0.01).

In mammals where both whole-genome alignment ( 31 ) and body mass data ( 32 ) were available for 186 species (data file S2), a negative trend between body mass and deletion length was also detected ( r = −0.17, P < 0.01; fig.

A negative trend was observed for MetS prevalence among the UIC groups, with a significant difference ( P <0.01).

Also, we detected a negative trend change in medication use for depression and/or anxiety ( Supplementary Table S6 , beta: −0.31, SE 0.12, p = 0.01) and in mental healthcare use in those experiencing medium versus low social support levels ( Supplementary Table S8 , beta: −0.31; SE: 0.15; p-value = 0.04), yet an increasing trend change in mental healthcare use in participants of non-Dutch origin with a LMIC background versus participants of Dutch origin ( Supplementary Table S11 , beta: 0.67, SE: 0.25, p = 0.01).

The direction of the simple slopes for each condition suggests a pro-inflammatory phenotype had a positive trend on stress recovery in the nature condition (SNS: β = -0.335, 95% CI [-0.586, -0.083], p = .010; RMSSD: β = 0.134, 95% CI [-0.117, 0.385], p = .290; PNS: β = 0.186, 95% CI [-0.043, 0.414], p = 0.110) but a negative trend on stress recovery in the office condition (SNS: β = 0.055, 95% CI [-0.202, 0.311], p = .671; RMSSD: β = -0.248, 95% CI [-0.502, 0.007], p = .056; PNS: β = -0.148, 95% CI [-0.381, 0.084], p = .206), although these trends were modest and mostly non-significant.

By contrast, the positivity rate among those screened showed a negative trend (6.3% to 2.1%, p <.01).

Of the remaining 279 trials, 72 (25.8 %) allowed the enrollment of poor-PS participants, with a negative trend over the 15-year interval (p = 0.01).

Although a negative trend was observed for GAF functioning (β = −0.49, p = 0.01), it did not survive the correction.

In addition, a generalized additive model (GAM), with a penalized spline function on the time variable, resulted in a negative trend between average temperature and the number of daily new cases in 166 countries (β = −2.85%, p < 0.01) ( Wu et al., 2020b ).

Controlled hypertension In Peru, only one out of every 20 people with hypertension had their blood pressure controlled, and there was a negative trend over time (score test for trend, p value = 0.01).

However, we observed a negative trend between education level and water storage (p-value = 0.01), whereby individuals with higher levels of education had less chance to store water.
