“a slightly increasing trend”

After 2010, most groups were quite stable with a slightly increasing trend for a few years for almost all groups (Fig. 1 and Supplement Table 3).

Notably, the ddc2c3 quadruple mutant exhibited a significantly lengthened circadian period by about 0.8 h ( ddc2c3 24.08 ± 0.05 h), with a slightly increasing trend (though not statistically significant) relative to that of the ddc3 triple mutant (23.99 ± 0.05 h) (Figure 3A – C ).

In addition, the industrial operation has a strong relationship with PM 2.5 pollution concentration in southwest regions where the industrial operation was less affected and PM 2.5 pollution also showed a slightly increasing trend.

Additionally, the ice adhesion strengths calculated for both the pristine and modified coatings during the remaining icing/de-icing cycles show a slightly increasing trend.

The assessment of severity variations during 2013–2020 was contradictory; the Charlson comorbidity index was not significantly changed during the whole analyzed periods, but a slightly increasing trend for both pre-endoscopic and after-endoscopy Baylor scores was recorded, which may suggest a potential trend toward more severe UGIB admitted cases.

Similarly, when we calculated the barrier-altering effect of GYY4137 treatment after plasma treatment, we only detected a slightly increasing trend towards the more severe disease groups, but this trend did not reach the level of statistical difference ( Figure 3 B).

Accordingly, NNS for one CIN2 + diagnosis and NNS for one CIN3 + diagnosis both show a slightly increasing trend.

The Bayesian Skyline Plot of different datasets showed a coherent relatively stable (cpDNA) or a slightly increasing trend (nuclear genes) of population size in history, which is consistent with the results of the neutral test and mismatch analysis.

A slightly increasing trend was observed after 2010.

A slightly increasing trend of positive affect was also observed when they slept 5 hours less than their usual sleep hours.

Despite being slightly lower than current FAOSTAT values, our estimates continue to demonstrate a slightly increasing trend.

The pH variation exhibited a similar pattern for four out of the five strains studied, with an initially sharp decreasing trend up to 24 h of cultivation as ethanol accumulated, followed by a slightly increasing trend.

A slightly increasing trend is projected to continue, and by 2040, the prevalence of psychological distress is estimated to be around 29% for men and 32% for women.

The Tuole station reported a clear increasing trend by 0.023°C a −1 in the average summer temperature from 1957 to 2003, whereas the annual precipitation varied significantly and showed a slightly increasing trend of 0.87 mm·a −1 during the same period [27] .

Results The hospitalization rate for CVDs in Ganzhou City showed a slightly increasing trend from 2016 to 2020, with higher rates in winter and summer than that in spring and autumn, and the individuals aged 61 and above constitute a higher proportion compared to other age groups.

A slightly increasing trend in the annual average LE from 1982 to 2010 was also observed.

However, it started a slightly increasing trend thereafter.

Before the strict lockdown, domestic violence calls reported a slightly increasing trend for both women and men ( Fig. 1 ).

Regarding MDF, only the TA muscle exhibited a significant difference in slope between groups, with a slightly increasing trend observed in pre/sarcopenic individuals.

The average number of performed radioisotope procedures was approximately 3800 per year and showed a slightly increasing trend during the analyzed period.

The citation impact displayed a slightly increasing trend from 2001, with a noticeable increase in 2009 and 2010 (Fig. 3 C).

When attention is directed to the random-dot adapter by a demanding task, the dynamic MAE shows a slightly increasing trend in the first few days followed by a gradual decrease over the remainder of training days.

A U-shaped relationship was also observed between lymphocyte count and LMR levels, and the incidence risk of AF, but the HRs were not significant for higher levels, with only a slightly increasing trend observed (Fig. 2 D and H; Table 2 ).

Analyses performed using robust linear mixed effect models showed that the mean MMSE score had a slightly increasing trend for participants in the standard BP treatment group, particularly for subjects aged 60–69 years.

Similar to argon plasma-treated samples, a slightly increasing trend was recorded during storage, reaching only about 6% by week 3.
