“an observed trend”

Observed trends An observed trend in all performance tests was that patients’ upper limb function seemed to decrease slightly from cessation of intervention to 6 months post intervention.

Despite an observed trend of decreasing yield (when moving from unsubstituted to aromatic thiosemicarbazide, see descriptions 1a–c in the Supplementary Materials ), the acylation products were isolated and characterized in all three cases.

Although there were no significant differences between energy and carbohydrate intake and food security status, there was an observed trend where the energy and carbohydrate intake decreased as food insecurity worsened.

We followed up an observed trend.

Although not statistically significant, there was an observed trend for an increased prevalence of moderate–severe gingivitis with an increasing number of toothbrushes per day.

Notably, there was an observed trend of Black or African American populations experiencing higher overall crude rates in every region compared to all other races.

This is consistent with an observed trend of decreasing number of people who smoke in the Czech Republic, with comparable results in post-MONICA studies and NAUTA studies concluded regularly by National Institute of Public Health (SZÚ) [ 18 ].

A failure to find genetic basis for an observed trend would indicate that the cline is caused either by environmentally induced plasticity (which can itself be either adaptive or non-adaptive), or by ontogenetic plasticity coupled with geographical differences in age or longevity.

Given the lack of an observed trend in recovery as a function of chain-length, it appears that chain-length does not affect fractionation and recovery within the tested range.

Similarly, there was an observed trend indicating that patients with PA with posttreatment PRA levels between 1 and 2 ng/mL per hour had a lower incidence of MACE compared with those with PRA levels either <1 ng/mL per hour or >2 ng/mL per hour; however, this trend also did not reach statistical significance.

There was also an observed trend toward differences in the elastic modulus and tissue stiffness using biaxial testing.

The Mann–Kendall test is a non-parametric method used to detect monotonic trends in a time series without requiring data to follow a specific distribution and helps determine whether an observed trend is statistically significant or a result of random variation [ 28 ]. 3.

This finding is in keeping with an observed trend toward increased use of digital health technology in older adults with chronic diseases [ 18 , 20 ].

Higher precipitation with subsequent slightly higher soil water content was confirmed on the 87th day when increased lentil transpiration was an observed trend.

As the cutoff value of 0.15 is not absolute but rather a convention, an observed trend of changing V values is informative 6 , 10 .

In our analysis, no significant differences were observed among ACE inhibitors and ARBs regarding odds for SARS-CoV-2-positive testing, ICU admission, and death, although there was an observed trend towards reduced odds for death with the use of ACE inhibitors.

Treatment parents reported significant pre-posttest reductions in parental hostile/aggressive rejection and parental undifferentiated rejection compared to control parents in both cohorts, with an observed trend for reductions in these specific parenting practices at 1-year follow-up, though not statistically significant ( p < 0.07).

There was an observed trend towards an increase in the percentage area of CC3 expression per total tissue section area, but this increase was not statistically significant ( Fig. 4D , P = 0.119, n = 5) B[a]P decreases the proportion of oocytes at pachytene and diplotene stages of prophase I.

An observed trend towards a possible association of this polymorphism with psoriasis' time of onset and/or patient's gender may suggest a possible contribution of the rare allele to particular clinical patterns of the disease.

The study's results suggest that while there is an observed trend towards reduced fertility with higher nickel exposure, the association does not reach statistical significance when accounting for race, BMI, and age.

There was an observed trend toward improved FVC at week 12 in the valganciclovir treated group, however, as the numbers were small and the duration was short, a conclusion cannot be drawn regarding the effects on lung function, especially on a long-term basis.

This method estimates the probability that observed differences were driven by the novel agent rather than random effects such as recruitment bias (e.g., random selection of PD‐1 responders) and also shows whether an observed trend occurs evenly across the participant population or only in a subset of the population.

An observed trend was that at least 13 in the subsyndromal ICD group described that their change in behavior was consistent with an exaggeration of long-standing behaviors.

This is exacerbated by an observed trend of declining age of first pregnancies.

There was an observed trend towards K trans recovery by 24-weeks, which preceded the median progression free survival by 8-weeks and therefore potentially an earlier marker of disease progression [ 25 ].
