a positive trendP < 0.01actually significant

a negative trendP = 0.03actually significant

A positive trend for encephalopathy ( P < 0.01) and a negative trend for unspecified dementia ( P = 0.03) were seen with cumulative styrene exposure accrued during the recent period of up to 15 years.

an increasing trendP = 0.11not close (p > 0.1)

When we pooled cases of encephalopathy and unspecified dementia, we observed an increasing trend by cumulative styrene exposure accrued during the total work history ( P = 0.11) with a rate ratio of 1.17 for the highest compared with the lowest exposure tertile (95% CI: 0.96, 1.42).

a decreasing trendno p-value reported

For unspecified dementia, a decreasing trend was observed for the 1–14-years window (for the highest vs. the null exposure category, rate ratio = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45, 0.94).
