“an observed trend”

There has also been an observed trend in Australia towards increased influenza-related presentations to EDs, accompanied by decreased hospitalization rates [ 4 , 34 ].

9 There was an observed trend toward an increased risk for amputation, higher-level amputation and lower extremity-related hospitalization with increasing infection severity.

Interestingly, these findings demonstrate an observed trend between the correlation detection technique and in vitro multispecies biofilm assessments, where coexistence of bacterial members within these ecological systems could contribute to multispecies biofilm formation.

Potential explanations underlie an observed trend wherein smoking often aligns with greater acceptability and anticipation among males within several traditional African societies [ 47 , 48 ].

2I ), with an observed trend toward increased LK fraction and LSK cells that did not reach statistical significance (Supplementary Fig. 2H ).

As an observed trend, the total protein content decreased in genotypes P1, P2, P3, SM, and MM as drought severity increased.

Moreover, in these cases aggregation of host 2 also exhibited a cationic dependence, with an observed trend Na + > Li + > K + ≈ Cs + .

However, there was an observed trend towards increased preoperative presence times of the OR nurses until the first incision, increasing from a median of 18 min in 2019 ( n = 40) to 25 min in 2022 ( n = 27).

Except in Okinawa, population density and COVID-19 prevalence appeared to have an exponential relationship ( Figure 2 , panel B), similar to an observed trend in the United States ( 11 ).

This was also consistent with an observed trend for an upshift in the transition frequency in the estimated deformation across the lateral surfaces of the temporal bones.

In a randomized clinical trial, ivermectin has not shown any significant improvement in treating mild COVID-19 patients ( Lopez-Medina et al., 2021 ), but there was an observed trend in reducing the hospital stay for ivermectin-treated group ( Abd-Elsalam et al., 2021 ).

Although there was an observed trend towards egg retention in the LC 30 group, this trend was not statistically detectably different from the control.

The proportion was higher among compliant regulations (6/10; 60.0%) than non-compliant regulations (7/28; 25.0%); Fisher’s exact p=0.062, an observed trend that did not reach the α=0.05 threshold.

Detection denotes when an observed trend exceeds the uncertainty posed by both natural variability and measurement capability of the observing system (e.g. 28 ).

This cortical shift, along with an observed trend toward adult‐like patterns, may suggest a broader transition from perceptually accessible IDV structures to the more diverse patterns of standard adult vocabulary.

In addition, it is worth noting that all studied experimental conditions yielded AgNPs with hydrodynamic sizes smaller than 3 nm at flow rates higher than 0.5:0.5 mL/min. Such an observed trend in particle size and its distribution can be attributed to the type of microwave source, in which a single-mode microwave 29 , 33 − 36 was used to prepare the NCs in the current study compared to a multimode domestic microwave (800 W) used in the former study. 53 Overall, UV–vis spectroscopy and DLS results of NC7–11 showed that the optimum flow rate was 1.25:1.25 mL/min to prepare ultrasmall (2.43 ± 0.62) and almost monodisperse (PDI ∼ 0.1) AgNPs in the MWFS system.

The best regression equations were selected according to two criteria: the equation had to be logical (i.e., it had to provide a causal explanation for an observed trend), and it needed to have a high goodness of fit (i.e., R 2 ) [ 38 , 40 ].

This implies that, to the extent that we can trust the model, for the same forcing a wide range of trends is equally plausible due to natural variability and that it would therefore be difficult to attribute an observed trend to a forcing (e.g., the aerosol forcing).

Despite of an observed trend toward the over ingestion of protein due to fishing activities in Caiçara communities [ 31 , 48 ], this is just an average trend, because the distribution of animal protein among families is highly variable.

An observed trend indicated that increased feature lengths were associated with higher accuracy for the majority of models, potentially due to the capture of more intricate sound variations.

An observed trend was that the peak strength diminished with increased curing time for both polymers, suggesting a higher utilization of acrylate groups in the crosslinking process.

Although attack rates were also low in subgroup 2, there was an observed trend for higher attack rates compared to subgroup 1, which was reduced through 12 months of berotralstat treatment.

There was an observed trend of worsening bladder dysfunction from clusters 0–4, although this trend was moderate, and severely dysfunctional bladders (4%–19%) were observed across all clusters (Figure 3 ).

Although no statistical difference was found between low and high MDA, there is an observed trend for higher counts of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in high-MDA mothers ( Figure 4 ).

In our series, MAV-LA was associated with shorter operative time, representing an observed trend rather than definitive evidence, and facilitation of technically demanding steps, such as the appendicovesical anastomosis and submucosal tunneling [ 4 , 13 , 16 ].
