Excerpts

The five categories on the scale are making things even easier, equally significant, and weakly significant, enormously significant, very strongly significant, and more significant. 4.

Blood pH value, mean arterial pressure, base excess, troponin, and procalcitonin were identified as highly significant prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality.

In J774.2 macrophages, however, IL-6 and IL-1β levels showed a trend toward reduction with lefamulin ( S2 Fig in S1 Appendix ).

In female mice, a decreasing trend was only observed in gonadal fat, but was not statistically significant.

Litter expansion did not have any significant effect on the gonadal and subcutaneous fat depots of female mice, although the gonadal fat showed a trend in reduction in the LS10 and LS12 mice ( Fig 2C ).

This is evident from Fig 4 , which shows a negative trend for these four atp genes as a group.

The per cent change in the RSA traits from NLP to LP of the top five genotypes was positive for TRL (19.12), TSA (18.25), TRV (16.98), TRT (20.97), TRF (25.49) but PRL (-0.34) and RAD (-0.40) showed a negative trend.

This is also supported by our results, that is, the contents of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose showed a decreasing trend with the increase of setting time.

The activity of intestinal lipase in high temperature group ( Fig 1D ) showed a trend of increasing gradually with the extension of time, and there was no significant difference at each time point ( P > 0.05).

The results indicated that there was a highly significant increase in leakage percentage of LDH in FA-SnO 2 NPs (92.5 ± 1.8), and SnO 2 NPs (79.7 ± 1.2) treated SKOV3 cells, as compared with the percentage of leakage in control cells (12.8 ± 0.5), P < 0.001.

By observing the IQR and Range values, the reduction of foveal thickness does not display such a clear trend as visual acuity does.

Note that the manipulation check measuring the subjective effort and the post hoc rating measuring the subjective difficulty revealed large and highly significant differences between the conditions in the expected directions.

Therefore, pressure is higher at the entrance of the lesion, and the effect of the entrance region is always to increase the average friction factor for the entire lesion which may be significant for shorter segments.

Previous studies revealed that the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is high with older age; likewise, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome showed an increasing trend with increasing age in this study.

In this study, LDH activity showed an increasing trend with the increase of temperature and time, indicating that the balance of carbohydrates was destroyed.

This may also explain, why the joint effects of executive functions on predicting physical activity did not quite reach statistical significance, but the effects of separate tests were statistically significant–performances in the three tests may be correlated.

The influence of distinct wall lengths on temperature-induced stress is depicted in Fig 12 : In Fig 12 , the numerical values of intermediate temperature stress fluctuate under different wall lengths but do not exhibit a clear trend.

I note below a few minor suggestions to improve clarity: Abstract line 40 : remove “therefore” Abstract lines 41 – 43: The following sentence is unclear: “The model-predicted 12-year slope with centralizing age indicated that the Information score showed no significant decline in the participants using HA, although this tolerance was not found in the participants not using HA.” Do the authors mean that non-HA users showed significant decline in Information scores over the 12 year follow-up period whereas HA users did not? Since the slope in the HA group approached significance, I believe a better interpretation would be that the non HA users showed greater decline over time on Information scores than did HA users.

We find a marginally significant positive effect for exports from low- and middle-income countries to high-income countries.

Figure 1 Curious that there does not seem to be a strong trend across trials.

It can’t be seen in Figure 6 that with the increase of temperature in different experiments, the maximum stress of the structure presents a decreasing trend, please check it. 8. “Page 7” “Figure 9” It is suggested that a graphical note be given in Figure 9 to indicate which experiment 1 to 5 are respectively. 9. “Page 7” “Figure 10” The description of Figure 10(a) is missing from this paper, please add it. 10. “Page 7” “References” Although more than 30 literatures are reviewed in this paper, most of them are from the past three years.

Theoretically assuming that this is the case and additionally assuming that such gifted persons are a priori rare, any study that randomly collects participants will be convicted to produce either non-significant or only weakly significant results on the group level.

There was a borderline significant inverse correlation of log DD with LVEDD, but not with RWT, and the presence of diffuse disease was associated with a larger LVEDD.

Thrombocytopenia exclusively occurred and persisted during hospitalization in group 4 patients, along with an increasing trend of inflammatory markers during hospitalization ( Fig 5 ).

In the T1 group, moderately significant focal dystrophic changes consistent with granular and hydropic degeneration of hepatocytes with different distribution in the parenchyma were observed ( Fig 3B ).
