Results The mean values of (AP–Pre)/Pre show a decreasing trend with the increase in the grade of POPF ( Table 1 ).

We have also found, although marginally significant, interactions between sex and treatment in the three variables analysed.

As in the Park Grass experiment, we found a significant (additive) interaction effect on ANPP of nitrogen and phosphorus, and a (marginally significant) negative correlation between ANPP and species richness.

Partial SE led to increase in the numbers of platelets (pre: 70.89 ± 34.87 [34–132] x 10 3 /μl, post: 121.44 ± 42.49 [77–196] x 10 3 /μl, p < 0.05), white blood cells (pre: 3.17 ± 1.94 [1.23–7.18] x 10 3 /μl, post: 4.83 ± 2.02 [2.64–9.10] x 10 3 /μl, p = 0.09), and hemoglobin (pre: 10.09 ± 1.50 [8.10–12.60] g/dl, post: 10.87 ± 1.88 [8.20–13.70] g/dl, p = n.s.); only changes in platelet count were statistically significant while white blood cell counts showed an increasing trend.

Further, as seen in the INTERSTROKE study, there may be significant variations in the magnitude of the association of these individual risk factors [ 25 ].

This calls for some consideration of the possibly significant differences between transcriptome and proteome data, with processes such as degradation or the presence of complex post-transcriptional regulation pathways affecting the actual composition of the tissue.

Namely, glaucoma was significantly associated with a negative trend (i.e. worsening) of the central MVFS and MD.

In Fig 1 , we show the weekly reported cases per 1,000,000 population, and an increasing trend is observed from 2013 to 2015.

Finally, and although tissue section identified intense expansion of the spleen red pulp and associated secondary erythropoiesis in both mouse strains, Char10C mice show a highly significant reduction in splenomegaly when compared to CBA/Pk ( Fig 2F ).

The analysis further showed small positive correlations that were highly significant, between the PDI factor and all the other factors.

For example, Mogilski and colleagues [ 19 ] found no significant differences between relationship satisfaction ratings of monogamous partners and CNM primary partners, however, the difference between ratings of monogamous partners and CNM secondary partners was marginally significant, such that CNM participants reported higher relationship satisfaction with their primary partner than with their secondary partner.

While male gender was only borderline significant, the higher risk for younger males may partially be explained by the mobile nature of the population in Tugela Ferry.

A review of climate changes in the 20 th century along the tropical Andes [ 34 ] reported 1) a decreasing trend in precipitation after the mid-20 th century in southern Peru and the Bolivian Altiplano [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]; 2) a rise of air temperature at an accelerated rate relative to the global average over recent decades.

Over the (1984–2011) period, our data showed an increasing trend in the mean wetland total area and number, mainly related to the appearance of wet grassland patches during the wetter years.

However, although there was an increasing trend noted in another marker of oxidative stress, cysteine-glutathione disulfide, this did not reach the level of significance ( Table 1 ).

By contrast, turf algae and crustose coralline algae showed no significant protection effect overall ( P >0.05, Table 4 ), albeit with statistical outcomes close to significance.

Such a clear trend is not observed with EXP2 and EXP3.

These differences of Oct 1 distribution in nuclei of control and MMS treated cells are highly significant ( S3 Fig ).

We found a trend towards decreased cerebellar volume at 3 weeks which was highly significant at 9 weeks.

Very many sequence features show highly significant differences between essential and viable mouse genes.

The GAM that used δ 15 N values in blue whale skin stratum basale and externum in relation to time indicated a weak, but slightly significant positive relationship in the GC, and a weak, but slightly significant negative relationship for the CCS ( Table 2 , Fig 3 ).

Therefore, identifying prognostic markers might be significant for reducing CRC mortality and thus improving treatment.

In the cell lysate, ADMA concentration showed a decreasing trend, however, statistical significance could not be demonstrated (p = 0.070, Fig 2C ).

We found that IGF-1 expression displayed an increasing trend after steroid induction, which is similar to the previous report [ 52 ].

Fam162b , which encodes for a yet to be characterized transmembrane protein, exhibited a negative trend for time, with CS-exposed mice displaying higher expression levels than AC-exposed mice.
