“a slightly increasing trend”

The number of incidence cases increased by 128.32% (95% UI: 109.45–147.49%) from 1990 to 2019, and ASIR showed a slightly increasing trend in this period (EAPC 0.32, 95% CI: 0.27–0.38) ( Table 2 ).

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.

However, natural soil N 2 O emissions are found to have a slightly increasing trend over the entire study period, with a changing rate of 0.01 Tg N year −1 decade −1 ( R 2 = .95, Figure 7b ).

In addition, we observed a slightly increasing trend in the incidence of AFR, AFVR, ABD, and FD over the years since 2009; this may coincide with the duration of the implementation of the SSS and is likely associated with the increased distribution of data reporting and feedback at all levels during the last nine consecutive years.

Private healthcare access followed a slightly increasing trend that was absent from the indirectly exposed group.

In terms of interannual variation, the air temperature in the study area showed a slightly increasing trend, with an average annual increase of 0.047°C.

The main findings of this study are as follows: Over the past 22 years, the grassland NPP in Tajikistan has shown a slightly increasing trend [0.01 gC/(m 2 ·a)].

The expression of DMT1 showed a slightly increasing trend, but there was no statistically significant difference ( Figure 4(c-d )).

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

As shown in Figure 2 , luteolin-7- O -glucoside exhibited a slightly increasing trend during the ripening stage of the olive, with a low content of 0.024 mg/kg at the green stage, a medium content of 0.028 mg/kg at the green/ripe stage, and a content of 0.027 mg/kg at late maturity stage.

Colon length measurements revealed that HFD groups had a significantly shorter colon compared to the normal chow groups, with atorvastatin treatment demonstrated a slightly increasing trend in both groups (Fig. 6 A and B).

DNase activity in the distal colon showed a slightly increasing trend up to day five but was the lowest on day seven ( Figure 2 D).

There was a slightly increasing trend in prevalence, but this was not statistically significant.

Though, Delhi’s PM levels remained lower than the baseline mean concentrations during the entire lockdown period, a slightly increasing trend was observed starting in the second week of April 2020.

Anatomical resections showed a slightly increasing trend towards the last quartile of the study period ( Table 2 ).

For the BSA concentration, the contour plots showed that a plateau of BSA GY is reached when using the 2-step impregnation method, but a slightly increasing trend for the 1-step method was observable.

For women, the earlier cohorts exhibit a slightly increasing trend in alcohol-attributable harm that stagnated around the 1957 cohort and started to decline with the more recent cohorts, but the CIs are wider than with men.

As the number of bridges increases, the results demonstrate a slightly increasing trend.

This results in the final stage where the true stress displays a slightly increasing trend with strain (stage V).

While the overall volume was low but with a slightly increasing trend, there was a sharp drop in 2015.

In our study, for the different sexes, females showed a slightly increasing trend of ASIR in schizophrenia.

Indeed, hardened concrete (sound or damaged) exhibits a smooth curve with a slightly increasing trend for phase velocity, especially for the low frequency range [ 9 , 17 ], while the few experimental results as well as simulations concerning liquid matrix (fresh concrete) imply an opposite trend and showcase much stronger dispersion exhibiting even “resonant peaks” of phase velocity and attenuation [ 8 , 10 ].

Additionally, the body weight of mice in all four groups showed a slightly increasing trend throughout the 14 days tumor treatment period ( Fig. 5g ), demonstrating that 2b@F127 had low biotoxicity and high biocompatibility.

Although the number of BP comments had a slightly increasing trend, the other 4 vital signs had a relatively constant number of comments for each of the 52 weeks.

Given that the minimum observed share of low-income people is 19.8, a few provinces had a slightly increasing trend while every other province had a reduction in the spread of the virus when in the orange tier.
