But, again, symptom response at Week 24, the key secondary endpoint of the trial, was not significantly different between the two treatment arms, even though TSS change showed a positive trend for significance.

Sales’ prices dropped (level effect: −9.6%, 95% CI: −15.0%, −3.8%) but rose faster month-to-month (trend effect: 0.9%, 95% CI: 0.6%, 1.2%) following June 2017’s SCS implementations, with no level effect (4.9%, 95% CI: −7.3%, 18.6%) and a positive trend (0.9%, 95% CI: 0.5%, 1.3%) after November 2017’s SCS opening.

found a positive trend between clinical mastitis incidence and NAb binding to the self-antigen, myosin, and a negative trend between mastitis incidence and NAb binding to the self-antigen, transferrin [ 19 ].

Descriptively, a positive trend in the concentration-response relationship was observed when regarding the proportion of participants with a mean TNSS ≥0.55 of each verum challenge ( Fig. 4 ).

Further, a positive trend for complete and correct data and sample collection was observable from day one in the inpatient setting to day three, i.e. the day of hospital release.

All Pathologists also presented a positive trend in slide-level diagnosis accuracy.

We estimated the statistical significance of a positive trend ( τ > 0 ) utilizing surrogate data analysis, following an approach used in Dakos, Carpenter, et al.

Gestational age did not affect the odds of additional impairments (Figure 4a–e ), although there was a negative trend with cognitive impairment (Figure 4d ) and a positive trend with having no additional impairments (Figure 4f ).

On the other hand, it should be noted that research and development in this field is following a positive trend with many examples of concrete experimentation with code availability for users, which can be found [ 30 , 44 , 56 ].

This increase in life expectancy has led to a disturbingly high prevalence of edentulism in Europeans aged 65 years or more; although in recent years in some countries there has been a positive trend towards a reduction in tooth loss among older adults [ 1 ].

However, there was a positive trend towards age in the effect size of distance ( Figure 3 ). 4.

In our analyses, we did not find high percentages of AnnexinV-binding RBCS in patients with intermediate levels of EAA (0.40–0.60), even if a positive trend was found.

Unfortunately, however, it turned out to be a positive trend that only lasted for a few months and collapsed between June (−5.9%) and July (−5.8%), about 9 months after the second pandemic wave ( ISTAT, 2021b ).

However, in terms of M-banking adoption, both countries have demonstrated a positive trend.

Similarly, although we usually find a positive trend over time in the rate at which any household member has completed primary school, this trend is not statistically significant when using the local economy definition.

It can be seen that the magnetoresistance below 7 K is negative at low fields but starts showing a positive trend as the field increases further.

caRNA levels in ALN-treated participants 101, 102 and 103 showed a positive trend in caRNA levels from basal to available follow up time points, while participant 104 had a transient increase at week 2 after the intervention.
