“a positive trend”

Although not significantly different from 0, delta (Δ) sphingomyelin values showed a positive trend in the DMH-NDM subgroup (Figure 2 A), with mean Δ-values significantly different from mean Δ-values in the NDM subgroup ( p < 0.007).

While CM use had a positive trend for predicting scores at both time points, only the post-scores are significantly associated with CM use ( X 2 (1) = 7.24, p = 0.007; see Fig. 5 ).

We found a positive trend for the positive sentiment intensities ( P =.007) together with negative trends for negative ( P <.001) and overall sentiment ( P =.026).

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).

The distribution of sex of abstract authors differed statistically significantly over the years ( p = 0.046), and a positive trend was observed in contribution of female authors over time ( p = 0.007).

Among patients with vitiligo, we found a positive trend between trunk FMI and VASI scores ( r = 0.38, p = 0.0071) ( Fig. 2 A ), suggesting that the severity of vitiligo is associated with trunk FM.

Although we had only summary data (hence limited ability to show trends reliably), we saw some suggestion of a positive trend between the size of the relative risk for smoking one cigarette per day and the last calendar year of follow-up for each study: Spearman’s correlation 0.51 (P=0.008) for men and 0.21 (P=0.42) for women when we used studies of coronary heart disease, and 0.23 (P=0.39) and 0.56 (P=0.11) among men and women for studies of stroke.

While a positive trend was observed in the control condition, we noted negative tendencies in the multimedia conditions, with a significant association in M1 ( t (109.80) = − 2.68, p = 0.008).

At the 3-month follow-up, all patients in intervention group 1 had either maintained or improved their overall quality of life, associated with a positive trend toward maintenance and improvement in nutritional status ( p < 0.008) and adequate food intake ( p < 0.01).

In addition, the number of GRs displayed a modest positive relation with the improvement in DAS in patients with intramuscular depots of GC, and a positive trend was observed for the K D of the GRs ( P = 0.008 and P = 0.070, respectively; Figure 3C, D ).

As expected, the slope in oscillation frequency and dynamic stiffness, according to the severity of dental malocclusion, showed a positive trend for ES ( p = 0.009; p = 0.015) and M ( p = 0.032; p = 0.038).

Trends of other causes according to ethnic/racial background have also shown a similar trajectory to alcohol-induced trends, as from 1999 to 2008, the Black/African American population have shown a marked descend (APC − 2.9179%/year, 95% CI: -3.3539 to -2.4800, P < 0.000001), and from 2008 to 2014, kept decreasing (APC − 0.3465%/year, 95% CI: -1.4012 to +0.7194, P = 0.487667), with even a further descend from 2014 until 2018 (APC − 2.1343%/year, 95% CI: -4.3455 to +0.1281, P = 0.061945); however in 2018, a major shift occurred with a positive trend up until 2021 (APC +6.3883%/year, 95% CI: +1.8690 to +11.1081, P = 0.009410), followed by a major descend from 2021 to 2023 (APC − 4.2571%/year, 95% CI: -8.2248 to -0.1179, P = 0.044907) (Fig. 4 C).

The Cochran-Armitage test found a positive trend in the DES and post-DES groups for PTB ( p = 0.0095), LBW ( p = 0.0006) and HBW ( p = 0.0033) ( Table 3 ).

When we distinguished individual TFA isomers, we found differential correlations with BMI according to gender, with elaidic acid (r = −0.14, p = 0.02, q = 0.05), and trans linoleic acid (r = −0.15, p = 0.01, q = 0.03) showing significant inverse correlations in women, while trans isomers of α-linolenic acid showed a positive trend in men (r = 0.22, p = 0.01, q = 0.10).

There was a positive trend over the observed years for the incidence of all odontoid fractures (O2 and O3) of patients ≥ 70 years of age ( r = 0.71, p < 0.01) ( Figure 3 ).

German terms continue to exhibit a positive trend during WWII (r = 0.79, p<0.01).

When accounting for multiple testing, there was no relationship between single PSSI scale t-scores and ppFEV 1 , BMI, CFQ-R overall score, therapy adherence, and CS, despite a trend for a negative linear relationship between (1) ‘schizotypal (ST)’ t-scores and CS ( p = 0.03, d = 0.44 [per change in 1 SD]; Table 3 ) and (2) ‘depressed (DP)’ t-scores and the CFQ-R overall score ( p = 0.03, d = 0.41) as well as a positive trend for a linear relationship between (3) ‘depressed (DP)’ t-scores and CS ( p = 0.01, d = 0.62 (per change in 1 SD)) and (4) ‘compulsive (ZW)’ t-scores and ppFEV1 ( p = 0.04, d = 0.46).

A negative and significant mean latent trajectory was evident for LS (unstandardized μ LS –S = −0.11 [−0.16 −0.06, SE = 0.03, p < 0.001), and PA (unstandardized μ PA–S = −0.13 [−0.18 −0.08], SE = 0.03, p < 0.01), and a positive trend for NA (unstandardized μ NA–S = 0.074 [0.03.22], SE = 0.03, p < 0.01).

Impact of Population-Level Incidence Rate of Cases During the Study Period and Cumulative Incidence of Cases Before the Study Period on Household SAR Despite large heterogeneity in SAR estimates, we still observed a positive trend between the SAR and the incidence rate of cases (correlation, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.24–0.49; P < .01) or deaths (correlation, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.20–0.47; P < .01) ( Figure 2 ).

Similar to the case for OS, CIF curves revealed a positive trend for the cumulative incidence of exacerbations among GOLD stages ( P < 0.01 for trend; adjusted P < 0.01 for stages I, II, or III versus stage IV), although the CIF curves for stages I and II were closely aligned (Fig. 3 A).

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.

Solar radiation of MERRA showed a positive trend of 3.36 MJ m −2 yr −1 (p<0.01), which is consistent with that of observed sunshine hours ( Figure 2B ).

An agreement analysis between the FMs estimated with US-derived skinfolds and the 4C model revealed a concordance correlation coefficient of 0.33, 95% limits of agreements ranging from −3.4% to 0.6%, and a positive trend (r = 0.8; p < 0.01).

For FVC, the increase was significantly greater for all BPD groups compared to the non-BPD group, with a positive trend with increasing disease severity ( P < 0.01 to P < 0.001, P trend <0.001).

An infection in the genital tract was probably responsible for the deaths of 26/35 control, 14/32 low- dose, and 8/20 high-dose female mice before the end of the study. Acinar-cell adenomas in the pancreas of male rats occurred with a positive trend (P < 0.01), and the incidence in the high-dose group (37/49, 76%) was significantly (P<0.01) higher than in the vehicle controls (22/50,40%).
