Excerpts

Near-significant tobacco associations likely reflect the selected high-risk cohort, where cumulative exposure homogenizes the risk [ 18 ].

A p-value of <0.001 was considered statistically highly significant.

A p-value <0.05 was considered significant, while a p-value <0.01 was considered highly significant.

These findings highlight a clear trend of increasing systemic inflammation and metabolic stress with higher severity scores.

observed a slight trend favoring microsurgery, possibly due to direct removal of tumor tissue, which may reduce the risk of residual growth [ 19 , 20 ].

Pooled data showed a trend toward fewer reoperations with DFR (odds ratio (OR): 0.44, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.16-1.21) and similar complication rates between DFR and ORIF (OR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.37-2.54).

Pooled findings showed a nonsignificant trend toward fewer reoperations with DFR, suggesting a potential reduction in fixation-related failures, although this signal should be interpreted cautiously due to limited data.

While both the active sunflower lecithin group and the placebo group showed a trend towards improved dry eye symptoms as measured by the SPEED questionnaire (Figure 1 ), statistical significance was not present in either group.

A clear trend was observed over the study period (Figure 1 ).

Though not statistically significant, both comorbidities demonstrated an increasing trend with COPD severity (Table 4 ).

The study showed a trend toward higher mortality with increasing CAC score in young- and middle-aged men and women.

While NIC 2017 showed an increasing trend in female PCI volumes, our center still observed a disproportionately low representation of women, underscoring the need for greater awareness and equitable referral patterns.

Bibliometric Analysis Year of publication: The studies covered illustrate an increasing trend of publications on AI-based surgical assessment over the past few years.

Conclusions This study showed a trend toward improved healing of diabetic foot ulcers with HBOT as an adjunct treatment.

Even after adjusting for potential confounders, HBOT showed a favorable trend (OR = 2.32), although it did not reach statistical significance.

Even after adjusting for potential confounders, the effect of HBOT on wound healing showed a positive trend compared with standard-of-care treatment, but this effect was not statistically significant, likely owing to sample size limitations.

The incidence of pyogenic arthritis showed an increasing trend, with an incidence of 1.76/100,000 inhabitants in 2016 and 1.36/100,000 inhabitants in 2021, which rose to 5.65/100,000 inhabitants in 2022, followed by a decrease in 2023 without reaching the previous levels of 2021.

A single study from China (k = 1) showed a large and highly significant effect (SMD = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.21-1.91) [ 12 ].

In Iraq (k = 2), the pooled analysis indicated a borderline significant increase in TNF-α (SMD = 0.85, 95% CI = -0.01 to 1.71), but heterogeneity was very high (I2 = 91.3%), limiting interpretability.

Ultrasonographic assessment of the masticatory and perioral muscles demonstrated a clear trend of muscle atrophy with advancing clinical grades of OSMF (Table 7 ).

Older age, osteoporosis, and revision procedures were identified as independent risk factors for PPF, while female gender showed a trend toward significance.

Although a smaller group, approximately 15 interns (15%), admitted to hesitation without supervision or fear of making mistakes, these responses were relatively few and suggest an overall trend toward increasing self-assurance among the interns.

Although intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) showed a strong trend toward worse prognosis, IT-HUV did not predict DCI or SVS within this subgroup.

The result of the one-way ANOVA showed that at Week 5, F(7,40) = 169.50, p < 0.0001, and at Week 6, F(7,40) = 145.77, p < 0.0001, meaning a highly significant difference exists between the groups.

Despite the lack of significance for the overall treatment effect when combined with both AFL and NAFL, the data set from the AFL group does deserve closer scrutiny regarding the suggestive borderline significance of the treatment effect.
