Ideally, when a positive trend in the rate of evolution towards the present applies ( Fig 1 , middle), the slope of the rates versus age regression would be larger than any BM slopes ( Fig 2 ).

Importantly and encouragingly, we observed a significant trend of increasing ULT use from 55.6% in Stage 1–2 to 77.4% in Stage 4–5, evidence that supports better recognition and treatment of gout in this high-risk population.

In our cohort, FLT1 C/C had a trend towards significance in the entire cohort and did predict inferior PFS in IMDC intermediate risk patients.

After adjustment, a 10% increase in leptin from baseline was correlated with a highly significant increase in limb fat mass at week 48 independently of treatment arm.

During this period, average annual water regulation amount was about 16.52 billion m 3 /yr, with an increasing trend of 0.21 billion m 3 /yr.

Sand fixation showed a decreasing trend mainly because of decreased wind speeds.

Between weeks 60 and 62, the figures in the epidemiological category of deaths showed a decreasing trend; however, this trend was reversed and prolonged, generating the most devastating period of the pandemic in Santiago de Cali.

In the analysis of the heterogeneity of the treatment arms in the baseline schoolgirls, we found the CI for the HIV prevalence in the CCT versus control changed enough that the borderline significant difference shown in the original analysis is now non-significant by a small margin.

The effect of the cash transfer program on HIV prevalence was not statistically significant, but highly significant for HSV-2 prevalence by permutation test.

However, as the age increases, subjects with age 40–64 showed borderline significance (95% CI, 1.00–2.24) and the subjects with age greater than 65 having a higher prevalence of dementia showed statistical significance.

Discussion Using a nationally representative data set, this study found that the age-standardized mortality of AD and other forms of dementia showed a decreasing trend of prevalence from 2010 to 2015.

In Europe and America, the prevalence of dementia was reported to be stable or decreasing over the last decades, attributing to secular improvement of educational level, population-level reduction in vascular risk factors, and overall reduction in stroke incidence[ 17 – 21 ].However, a number of studies showed an increasing trend in dementia prevalence in Mainland China and Hong Kong[ 22 – 24 ].

There was a small positive correlation between second language proficiency and deliberate reasoning score, reaching significance only in the foreign language condition and being only marginally significant in the switching language condition.

When LULC trends are compared between political divisions during 2002–2010, we found that woody vegetation increased in the Colombian and Ecuadorian CGE during 2002–2010 (R = 0.78, p< 0.01; R = 0.64, p< 0.05) but did not show a significant trend in the Panamanian CGE.

Furthermore, the CV-ANOVA test was employed to assess the statistical significance of differences within the OPLS-DA model between the two groups, yielding a p-value of 0.003, indicating highly significant differences between the groups within the model.

In KOBAS analysis, only 10 and 4 transcripts up-regulated in flooding and salt treatments, respectively, were found to be highly significant i.e. with corrected p-value (p adjusted) of ≤0.05.

aeruginosa ATCC 27853 (MIC = 1.0 mg/L), a highly significant difference was evident between generic and innovator because the former required twice the dose of the latter to reach bacteriostasis: 251.4 ± 22.1 vs. 131.2 ± 12.2 (P<0.0001; Fig 7B ).

As a result, we generally observe an increasing trend of both exposed and infected cases under S1 scenarios (Δ E ≈ 5%, Δ I ≈ 4.5%).

The λ ratio of [3:4] showed an increasing trend, though statistical significance is not shown throughout the GA in the quiet state.

The mean maternal respiration rate ( Fig 7(c) and 7(d) ) showed a decreasing trend from early to mid and then an increasing trend from mid to late throughout the gestational period though statistical significance is not shown, irrespective of the fetal states.

A notable trend is observed where increasing scaffold relative density leads to a significant increase in σ ′ f indicating that more porous scaffolds exhibit lower fatigue resistance and vice a verse, which is critical for optimizing scaffold design for specific load-bearing applications.

Hence, an increasing trend of the rainfall for these months can have a significant impact on the total wet season rainfall.

In descending order of magnitude, education, occupation, and age correlations all also have a highly significant positive association with mobility correlation.

However, we detected a decreasing trend in the percentage of publications that multidisciplinary journals dedicate to this and other top areas, especially over the last decade.

The species showed a trend toward occupying the best available areas ( Table 3 ).
