For example, the MSM showed an overall trend of an increasing OR as age increased.

Western blotting revealed an overall trend for enhanced stemness markers in ACC cells suspended in ultra-low attachment plates, as expected.

However, PCA has limitations in identifying transcriptional differences: as an unsupervised method, PCA can identify directions that explain the maximum variance in high-dimensional datasets, but such separation relies on global gene expression rather than individual genes; even though PCA captures an overall trend of variance, it does not yield specific DEGs [ 41 – 43 ].

2 , each of which showing about 50% of the input accessions for better readability) revealed an overall trend to form three large groups: one group comprising sugar beet accessions and two groups comprising sea beet accessions.

There was an overall trend towards higher abundance of MPs in sampling sites in the lower and tidal-influenced reaches of the River Barrow, with the four highest MP numbers occurring within the five sampling locations in the lower catchment areas.

Furthermore, comparison of the pain scores between two groups demonstrated no meaningful difference, although an overall trend to reduced oral discomfort was seen in the licorice group.

As illustrated in Figure 5 , the impact of antibiotics on maize root activity exhibited an overall trend of initial enhancement followed by suppression, with variations observed based on antibiotic type and concentration.

These data represent an overall trend of decreased activity that contributes to secondary health conditions [ 16 , 17 ], even as the lifespan of persons with CP continues to expand [ 18 ].

Though an overall trend emerged that male control mice were more likely to dominate a territory than Hoxa1 B1 males, the instability of the pattern over time makes it difficult to link competitive ability to the observed reproductive deficiency.

Although the findings regarding first sensation were not statistically significant, patients with FARP showed an overall trend toward reduced sensation threshold, which might be related to the material in the expanded balloon used in our examination to assess rectal sensation.

At baseline, the percentage of urinary schistosomiasis and infection intensity in the villages studied were in line with an overall trend of a reduction in prevalence in the studied area.

The centroid of potential suitable area changed under different scenarios of future climate, showing an overall trend of northward shift.

Sex differences have primarily been studied in adult blood [ 14–18 ], with an overall trend toward greater methylation levels in female compared to male samples.

We noticed the following: I1 : An overall trend of increased global spatial autocorrelation, especially according to the Moran’s I statistic (see Fig. 4a ).

Naturally, the reference tests are also subject to certain scatter, yet an overall trend can still be identified with this method.

Perfectionism was also normally distributed with a mean of 43.2 ± 7.2, indicating an overall trend toward perfectionism.

Although superiority of fractional- vs full-dose regimens was not demonstrated and the complementary impact analyses were post hoc, we showed an overall trend of higher vaccine impact for fractional- vs full-dose regimens of RTS,S, supporting flexibility around timing and dosing in the vaccination schedule.
