“a slightly increasing trend”

A slightly increasing trend for platelet adhesion was observed, but only the number of thrombi at 1600 s −1 reached statistical significance ( p < 0.05), going from 63 ± 83 to 126 ± 111 for WB and WB + PDMP, respectively.

However, there was a slightly increasing trend (0.036 [95% confidence interval, −0.002, 0.074] increase per month, P = 0.066).

We found a decreasing trend in the number of cases of low-risk FLIPI (R 2 =0.23, p=.094) and a slightly increasing trend in the number of cases of grade 3B FL (R 2 =–0.20, p=.111), although the result was not statistically significant ( Fig. 3B , C ).

Dialysis vintage showed a slightly increasing trend, without any significant differences over the years (P = 0.137).

To be specific, there were a slightly increasing trend in U133A microarray, 1.08-fold ( P =0.139 for ACC) and 1.09-fold ( P =0.109 for FASN), while a slightly decreasing trend in U133A/B microarray, -1.21-fold ( P =0.689 for ACC), and -1.08-fold ( P =0.719 for FASN).

The control group showed a decreasing trend in body weight between weeks 8 and 12 ( p = 0.29), whereas the treatment group showed a slightly increasing trend over the same period ( p = 0.74; Figure 3D ).

The good-BGRI group showed a slightly increasing trend both in Ace index ( p = 0.6978, Figure 1 A) and Shannon index ( p = 0.6031, Figure 1 B) in comparison with the poor-BGRI group.

DBP induced no significant changes in the protein nitrotyrosine levels, a marker for protein oxidation, after 48 h exposure under dbcAMP stimulated conditions, although a slightly increasing trend was observed ( p = 0.81; Figure 7 A).

There was a slightly increasing trend in the organic carbon concentration along the river course.

Besides, the activities of STING signalling pathway (Figure 5I , Figure S6B ), NOTCH signalling pathway (Figure 5N , Figure S6C ) and IL6_JAK_STAT3 signalling pathway (Figure 5S , Figure S6D ) were unstable in responders, while their activities showed a slightly increasing trend in non‐responders, demonstrating the probable activations of these signalling pathways in CD8 + Tex of non‐responders.

It is observed that the longitudinal modulus has a slightly increasing trend in the CD region of the tensile curve, which could be related to a reduction of the twisting angle of yarns with tensile load.

Moreover, a slightly increasing trend in height increment (raw shoot-increment series) was detected on all plots ( Fig. 6 ).

Using a lower BMI cut-off, the prevalence of confirmed HFpEF and suspected HFpEF according to the H 2 FPEF score revealed a slightly increasing trend, while the prevalence of no HFpEF revealed a decreasing trend.

In Figure 5 b, the ultimate tensile strengths also show a slightly increasing trend with increasing environmental temperature; from ANOVA analysis, we found that the p -value was 0.024, indicating it was not a significant change.

We observed a slightly increasing trend in the number of moved animals during the extended study period, compared to the earlier Swedish studies.

Figure 3C shows that the maximum leaf width of G1500 displayed a slightly increasing trend, indicating that the high concentration of CO 2 in the soil had a strong inhibitory effect on leaf expansion.
