Excerpts

This complex pattern likely obscures an overall trend, leading to an insignificant regression analysis.

Although, our analysis found that there was a decreasing trend in retention rates from 6 weeks after birth until 18 months after birth in both intervention and control arms, the outcome was significantly better for the participants in the intervention arm.

As a result, the relative abundance of deamidation at Asn site 2 and 3 exhibited a saw-tooth pattern with an increasing trend over time ( Fig 3B ).

This dataset showed a trend of increasing number of hits with increasing KL score.

Insomnia symptoms showed a highly significant association with MetS (aOR 11.038; CI95% 2.867–42.493).

MoNRE climate models estimate that the number of hot days (maximum daily temperature is greater than 35°C) may be an increasing trend across the entire country until 2100.

Hence, I would like to share some thoughts that may improve the presentation of data? General: I would strongly recommend the authors to not use borderline significance, unless more stringent discussion on how to interpret the data should be made.

Emission from iron and steel Assessing the amount of dioxin released per tonne of metal produced, revealed a decreasing trend of dioxin emissions over the period of 1990–2017 ( Fig 2 ).

In low-income, pathogen- and fecal contamination-rich, urban settings where sanitary conditions are poor, our study suggests better sanitary conditions measured via a sanitary survey may be associated with lower measures of environmental fecal contamination relative to poorer scores, though the absolute difference in contamination between poor and better sanitary conditions is minor and the association we found was borderline significant.

Plant traits differed largely among June, July and August of 2017 ( Fig 1D ), whereas the monthly difference in pollinator traits was smaller albeit marginally significant ( Fig 1E ).

Differences among canopy positions in leaf traits Leaf size differed between orientations, with lower values on the west side of the crown in all species ( Table 2 ), although the differences were only marginally significant for Q . faginea .

In the later stages of combustion, the combustible components show a decreasing trend, and the contact area between oxygen and the combustible components also decrease, resulting in a decrease in the DSC curve after the formation of a peak.

Concentrations of DIP in general show a decreasing trend with respect to distance downstream in both surface water and groundwater for the northwest sector, likely reflecting local inputs from OSDS as trends between ( Fig 8 ).

The samples treated at 120 μM were not significantly increased above wild type but were approaching significance.

However, there was a significant trend in hospitalizations over the course of the year ( Fig 1 ).

During health talks, some mobilizers emphasized the incentives that boys will receive (e.g., sodas and/or new underwear) following circumcision—items that may be significant inducements among impoverished children.

An increasing trend was observed for monthly average of maximum temperature.

Furthermore, a decreasing trend was observed for precipitation during the years.

Simulation of cholera cases indicated that there is a clear trend of increasing cholera cases under the worst scenario (RCP8.5) by the year 2050 and the highest cholera cases observe in warmer months.

However, TUNEL staining showed a trend of increased apoptosis in the indomethacin and vaccine treated groups compared to control.

Except for Oaks and Mix Broadleaves, which have an increasing trend, and Castanea, which remains quite stable, all the other forest types have decreasing trends ( Fig 3D ).

Most of the palatable species have a decreasing trend in RD scenario: Abies alba , Acer pseudoplatanus , Fagus sylvatica , and Fraxinus ornus .

There is a clear trend among all methods to yield higher ITH estimates with the protected mutation set.

In turn, the almost significant frequent-initial preference observed when exposed to misaligned cues could suggest that infants detected the incongruence between the auditory and visual facial cues (or at least were unable to integrate the facial cues in any way), and hence ignored the unreliable visual information and segmented the language based on the cumulative and more stable auditory sources of information, as found in certain instances with adults [ 46 – 47 ].

In contrast to region 3, six of the nine mean summer estimates of bottom temperature in region 5 from 2006 to 2015 were above the 1998–2015 summer average, indicative of an increasing trend in bottom temperature in this region.
