“a positive trend”

5 a); isolating the impact of EIT-guided PEEP from potential confounders by excluding studies with recruitment maneuver before PEEP trials still showed a positive trend (MD = 3.85, 95% CI [1.95, 5.75], P < 0.0001, and I 2 = 0%), thereby reinforcing the direct impact of EIT-guided PEEP on lung compliance (Fig. 5 b); and removing studies with significant positive treatment effects revealed that the overall positive trend was not driven solely by a few outlier studies, as the impact on lung compliance remained consistently positive and statistically significant (MD = 2.86, 95% CI [0.95, 4.78], P = 0.003, and I 2 = 0%) (Fig. 5 c).

Principal Curve scores show a positive relationship with chlorophyll a (representing the biomass of primary producers) ( edf = 2.8, P value < 0.0001) but negative with fucoxanthin, which is a proxy of diatoms, dinoflagellates, and chrysophytes ( edf = 4.03, P value < 0.0001), whereas in another model, the scores and alloxanthin, which is a proxy of cryptophytes, display a positive trend ( efd = 3.63, P value < 0.0001; Fig. 6 ).

In comparing the percentage of responses between “currently” and “once adapted”, there was a positive trend in all of the % agrees, and a negative trend in all of the % disagrees (p<0.0005).

Results Using the chi-square tests of linear trend and association, evidence was found for a positive trend towards more experienced supervisors offering responses (χ 2 = 16.833, p < 0.0005, n = 215) while there was a lack of evidence of bias in the gender distribution of respondents (χ 2 = 0.482, p = 0.487, n = 203), respectively.

When we explored the correlation between LDLc‐score and LDL‐C levels in subjects who were FH/M+ or FH/M−, a positive trend was observed among subjects who were FH/M− ( R , 0.13; P =0.0006) that was even more marked among subjects who were FH/M+ ( R , 0.15; P <0.0001) (Figure 3 ).

In the case of mating with the non-irradiated males, on the first day, mating occurrence started at low levels (21.5 ± 1.5%) and then showed a positive trend until the end of the experiment (interaction non-irradiated*day 3: Wald = 11.26, p = 0.00079).

The association was strengthened by a positive Trend test for mild, moderate and severe asthma (Mild OR 1.0; Moderate OR 1.42. 95%CI 1.16, 1.74; Severe OR 2.01, 95%CI 1.64, 2.46; p = 0.0008).

A positive trend of increased truncations in CSF with increased truncations in plasma was observed, with Pearson correlation coefficients of r = 0.419 ( P = 0.0008) for truncated apoC-I, and r = 0.525 ( P < 0.0001) for truncated apoC-II.

In contrast, ASD polygenic risk was significantly and positively associated with college or university qualifications, and also showed a positive trend of association with fluid intelligence ( β = 0.04, uncorrected p = 8.78 × 10 −4 ), although the latter did not meet FDR correction at 0.05.

Screening Attendance Rate Based On Merged Data From 2009 to 2019, a gradual increase occurred (69%; n = 1126, 75%; n = 1,370, 77%; n = 1,067) in the number of women who participated in cervical cancer screening, showing a positive trend ( p < 0.001; Table 1 ).

The feasibility study showed a positive trend in reducing fatigue severity (Z -6.108; P < .001; SD 8.4), impact of fatigue (Z − 4.451; P < .001; SD 11.4) and cognitive behavioral therapy skills (Z -2.278; P = .023; SD 19.3).

A positive trend was found over time, with the prevalence of anaemia increasing by 0.12% each year on average (Regression coefficient + 0.123; 95% CI: 0.107, 0.139; p < 0.001).

RESULTS The first reported Indian study using TMS, for assessing corticospinal excitability in children with malnourishment, was from Banaras Hindu University in 1997.[ 4 ] Twenty-five years since then there has been a linear growth of publications, with 2951 citations so far, and a positive trend (linear forecast trend regression coefficient R 2 = 0.7869, P < .001) from India in the field of TMS and neuropsychiatry [ Figure 1 ].

Analysis further shows that there was a positive trend of increase of the prevalence of CFA positivity with increasing age ( χ 2 = 53.83, p < 0.001), with a maximum of 10.2% being among age group of 65+ years.

In addition, the ORs were significantly increased with a positive trend in order from low GS/long ST, low GS/short ST, high GS/long ST, to high GS/short ST in all models ( P < 0.001 for trend).

Impact on utilisation In Benin, there was a positive trend in caesarean section rates between 1993 to 2011 ( p < 0.001), but we found no evidence that the implementation of the exemption policy in 2009 significantly increased utilisation rates over and above the existing secular trend ( p = 0.7331) (Fig. 2 ).

Neonatal central adiposity (determined using waist:length ratio) was negatively associated with maternal age, and positively associated with the following parameters: smoking status, maternal pre-pregnancy arm circumference, percentage energy from saturated fat in late pregnancy, postprandial glucose at 28 weeks gestation and membership of the control group with a positive trend towards association with trimester 2 glycaemic load R 2 adj 38.1% (F = 8.000, p < 0.001).

Data about laparoscopic procedures was available only after the year 2000: 48% of the patients were operated with the laparoscopic technique with a positive trend during the years, starting from 26% in 2000 to 68.8% in 2013 (AAPC 5.2, P < 0.001) (Figure 3A ) and with a mean length of stay of 4.47 ± 2.66 d (compared to 5.43 ± 2.94 with the open technique, P < 0.001).

This was followed by a positive trend change with an IRR of 1.004 (95%CI 1.001–1.008, P = 0.017) that resulted in an increasing trend over the post-reform period: IRR of 1.002 (95%CI 1.001–1.003, P < 0.001).
