Also, the 90% regression line exhibits a negative trend, whereas the 50% and 10% regression lines show a weak trend.

Although any report of night shift work was not associated with atopy risk (OR ever nightshifts = 1.13; 95% CI = 0.97–1.31), we observed a suggestive trend of increased risk of atopy in offspring associated with longer duration of maternal night shift work (OR ≥6yrs night work = 1.27; 95% CI = 0.99–1.63; P trend = 0.07).

RE analyses showed that, compared with mNMB, dNMB was associated with a marginally statistically significant 0.5-point improvement in surgical field rating score: pSMD = 0.51 (95% CI: 0.05, 0.98; Fig 3 ).

According to Riegel et al., lack of fluid restriction in patients’ diets may be explained by difficulties in the precise determination of one’s fluid intake, as well as not testing for thirst levels, which may be significant to this area of compliance [ 15 ].

After completing the Likert scale nurses were asked to rate their overall level of practice regarding prevention of SSI, and the result revealed that fifty-six (13.7%) of the participants rated their level of practice as unsatisfactory which is highly significant in number and effect on the rate of SSI and its prevention.

A significant trend towards higher scores was found as the level of clinical experience increased, with mean overall scores ranging from 66.97 (SD 10.26) to 93.42 (SD 13.46) out of 115 for rater #4 (a medical student) and rater #1 (a senior physician), respectively.

This could be shown by the finding that mice injected with sitagliptin treated bacteria showed a trend for better survival compared to mice injected with DMSO treated bacteria or untreated bacteria.

Other exposures approached significance including coal, uranium and hard rock mining during the earliest period (1883–1929) when safety from exposures was not considered.

However, there appears to be a positive trend between number of nights in a hospital with income level.

Compared with SQSTM1-NUP214, the binding of SQSTM1-NUP214 FGmut showed a trend toward lower binding across all genes but the difference was not statistically significant.

dentine thickness controlling for molar size) did not have any significant effect or at least a positive trend on cementum apposition as predicted.

A p value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant, and a p value ≤ 0.001was considered extremely significant.

Of those genera, the relative abundance of Bosea , Sphingobium , and Acidovorax showed an increasing trend, whereas those of Nevskia and Hydrocarboniphaga decreased overall.

The prevalence of ASD, all over the world, has had an increasing trend [ 16 , 17 ].

For the horizontal condition, a repeated-measures ANOVA, with factors Speed and Spatial Separation, shows a highly significant effect of speed but no effect of spatial separation and no significant interaction (After Greenhouse-Geisser correction, Speed, F (1.191) = 29.341, p = 0.003, Separation, F (1.41) = 2.683, p = 0.155, Interaction ( F (2.112) = 1.034, p = 0.401).

The effect is particularly clear for motion on the vertical axis and is likely to explain the marginal significance of spatial separation in the ANOVA for this axis ( Table 1 ).

Stratification of age groups for the SARI criteria The proportion of virus-positive patients meeting SARI criteria by their age yielded a clear trend, with the youngest patients being less likely to meet criteria ( Figs 1 and 3A ).

For comment #6, we think that many things about the borderline inter-group difference of the composite neurologic outcome composed of stroke and delirium, have already been covered in the Discussion section, including an acknowledgement of the borderline significance, a brief introduction of recent relevant publications, and the necessity for additional studies to elucidate this correlation.

As indicated by its negative and significant coefficient for the linear growth rate and its positive and marginally significant coefficient for the quadratic growth rate, G2 wealth ranking also shapes the trajectory of child BMI over time.

Sending more messages to health coaches, manually tracking health metrics more often, and opening more program lessons were associated with more weight loss, to marginally significant degrees.

Fig 6 shows an increasing trend between both of QT and GA and QTc and GA.

This reduction, in turn, allows to exploit the solution by the algorithm: mean cluster error (MCE) has a clear trend after the reduction of the cluster size ( S2B Fig ), while MCE for the low proportion of elite organisms (0% or 0.3%) follows random fluctuations.

In patients with post-stroke infection (n = 11), there was an overall trend towards larger decreases in lymphocytes and lymphocyte subsets, except for cytotoxic T-cells, in the group with splenic contraction (n = 6) versus in those without (n = 5) but without statistical significance.

This drop in mortality for the diabetic population can be observed in both males and females for each year, showing a clear trend ( Fig 2 ).

However, relative regional differences declined for malignant neoplasm of bowel, while the regional variation decline for breast cancer rates was only marginally significant ( Table 4 ).
