There is a positive trend between the number of identified variants and ctDNA fraction, but the correlation is not significant, likely due to the high variation and low number of identified variants among samples with ctDNA fractions above 50% ( Fig 2A , Pearson’s correlation = 0.4657, p-value = 0.069).
Interestingly, while intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) showed a positive trend in univariate analysis, it was not an independent predictor in the multivariate model.
Although there were rarely statistically significant regression results ( Table 2 , rows 16–19), the relationship between the use of a speedy travel method and access to more qualified medical care (such as a hospital) can be summarized as a positive trend. 7 However, the estimated relationship between travel time and the use of care is still inconclusive; some found it to be negative, 11 , 19 while others found it to be positive, and the explanation is that some individuals will be willing to take more time to travel for more advanced healthcare ser
Although there was a positive trend, the effect was relatively weak.
However, in the second year and beyond the policy implementation, the estimate becomes statistically significant and shows a positive trend, indicating a significant positive impact of the ’sponge city’ pilot on ecological livability.
On average, there is a positive trend for allocations into private equity and infrastructure.
Our results demonstrated a positive trend in performance up to a certain threshold (50%), beyond which a decline occurred.
Interestingly, while most indices showed no trend or a negative trend with increasing magnitude of ΔFosB expression, the processing speed index instead showed a positive trend in multiple patient subcategories ( Supplementary Figures 3 – 5 ).
The small effect size for acculturation, and small-to-medium for enculturation, suggests that while both of these cultural processes show a positive trend towards homework engagement, other factors also play meaningful roles in determining out-of-session engagement.
Surprisingly, high mRNA levels of HER2 (HR=0.64) and epiregulin (HR=0.89) showed a prognostic association with longer PFS for all patients while a positive trend toward better OS was found for the same genes in the overall population [ 89 , 90 ].
With regard to the year of publication, a positive trend emerged: 13% of the papers were published from 2004 to 2005, 17% from 2006 to 2007, 24% from 2008 to 2009, and 46% from 2010 to 2013.
Overall , for most of the time-related aspects, participants revealed a positive trend following recommended evidence that higher success is achieved when placing a definitive restoration within the minimum treatment duration to minimize the possibility of coronal leakage.
The R L values calculated under all temperature conditions fell within the range of 0~1, confirming that the adsorption processes of the two materials have a positive trend at different temperatures [ 51 ].
There was also a positive trend toward better OS, even though some patients switched treatments [ 12 ].
The overall performance of NDVI in Northeast China shows a positive trend.
We hypothesized as follows: Hypothesis 1: In the period prior to this media tone shift, bias against Asian Americans decreased over time, which we hypothesized based on documented trends in other forms of bias ( Charlesworth & Banaji, 2019 ); Hypothesis 2: After the March 8 increase in stigmatizing language toward Asian Americans (Rizzuto, 2020), trends in bias over time would flatten or reverse to a positive trend.
Our present study only described a positive trend of increasing comorbidity prevalence that correlated with increasing cumulative dose of corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants, further research is needed to evaluate the specific associations between cumulative exposure to corticosteroids and the incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis.
While overall odds of obesity in women with prior GDM were significantly higher those of the non-GDM groups (OR: 1.35; 95% CI, 1.03–1.7; P = 0.03), both these groups overtime revealed a positive trend in obesity (P trend < 0.001), an incremental trend which was less pronounced in GDM women (OR: 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80, 0.95; P interaction = 0.001).
Indeed, differences in relapse rates between cladribine treatment groups and placebo demonstrated a positive trend as early as 4 weeks, with differences more marked and accompanied by non-overlapping confidence intervals after 24 weeks [ 18 , 19 ].
Similarly, a positive trend was observed between C. rectus expression and bleeding on probing (BOP) at 1 week in test group.
Over the past decade, ecological restoration measures, such as reforestation and grassland restoration, have led to a positive trend of “overall improvement and accelerated improve” in the management of desertified land.
The results indicated the existence of a positive trend particularly in summer in the relative abundance of mixotrophic flagellates with elevation, however, this trend was not linear, and exceptions along the elevational gradient were found.
Regarding enjoyment, no significant difference was observed between the conditions, although a positive trend in favor of the WITHOUT-GK condition was identified. 4.
The pooled SMD, calculated using a random effects model, was 1.40 (95% CI: −0.32 to 3.12), suggesting a positive trend in favor of the experimental group.
Although the effect observed for OSF-GO2 is slightly weaker than that for OSF-GO1, the results still show a positive trend.
