Excerpts

The frequent exchanges between China and foreign countries and the vigorous development of social economy and various cultures have led to an increasing trend in the number of cultural heritage.

Furthermore, we found a marginally significant interaction of Ordinal position and Classification type (man made—nature made).

This is quite significant and different from the data compiled from other Asian countries.

However, the pooled proportion of Chinese college students’ practice of preventive measures against COVID-19 had a decreasing trend, which might be related to their reduced risk perception of the disease [ 69 , 70 ].

However, after the hard fork H20, we can observe that the number of daily operations started an increasing trend again.

We could not discern a clear trend regarding whether using data from clinical trials instead of observational studies in terms of baseline risk and treatment effect improves the cost-effectiveness results.

The total WF showed an increasing trend due to the significant increase in forest WF, although agricultural and grass WFs showed decreasing trends during the study years.

Using data from Global Disease Burden, the study reported total DALY among SCD patients of 51,129 and 30,501 in 1990 and 2010, respectively, showing a decreasing trend across the years.

Using a procedure adapted from existent umbrella reviews [ 32 ], we will identify outcomes and interventions for which summary effects showed strong evidence of significance (p<0.001); were based on more than 1000 randomized participants; did not have large heterogeneity between studies (I 2 <75%); their 95% prediction interval excluded the null; extrapolation of the Egger regression line for infinite sample size still suggested a nominally significant effect (i.e., 95% confidence interval did not include the null); had no evidence for excess significance; came from systematic reviews and meta-analysis with a score of at least 9 on the AMSTAR-2 scale; came from systematic reviews and meta-analysis not funded by the entity developing or marketing the intervention and free from authors with a financial conflict of interest associated to the intervention.

The disease of PTC coexisted with HT presents an increasing trend year by year [ 9 ].

After the development of unused land, the average annual increase in NPP in the study area was mainly distributed in northwestern Tang County, including Yangjiao town, Qijiazuo town and Shimen town, while it showed a decreasing trend in the south and north-central parts of the study area.

The NPP in the study area showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing as a whole.

The results showed that, due to the changes in land use types from unused land, forestland, arable land with high NPP values to urban and rural residential land, traffic land with low NPP values, and the changes in precipitation and temperature, the NPP in the study area showed an overall trend of decreasing first and then rising from 2000 to 2018.

Although summer PET exhibited an increasing trend from 1970 to 2020, 35 stations showed negative trends in summer PET, 11 of which were significant decreases.

A negative trend in PET was found at 23 stations (41.1%); the trend was statistically significant at eight stations (14.3%) at a 95% confidence level.

In the SC-CQ region, on a seasonal scale, more sites showed an increasing trend than a decreasing trend, except in summer, which confirmed the existence of the evaporation paradox generally in the months of summer.

Moreover, a relatively low S Ws was found in the SC-CQ region, while changes in W s were found to play a significant role in the PET changing as the W s of most stations showed a significant trend ( Fig 5 ).

There was a positive trend in PET for approximately 58%, 68%, 38%, 73% and 73% of all surveyed stations at annual, spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively.

Additionally, the LR algorithm is, from the investigated models, the only one which accommodates for possible interactions among predictor variables, which may be significant in the present problem.

Although there might appear to exist a slight trend for patients without GABAergic drugs to show more improvement in CU and less improvement on the WAB, the opposite directions of the trends make it likely that these trends are not reliable or meaningful.

Nevertheless, the authors agree with the reviewer’s comment that the differences in the writing characteristics among each HD subtype might be significant or interesting topics to be explored further.

Although densitometric analysis of the Western blot images did not show statistically significant differences in the levels of GPIIb, GPIIIa, and PF4 between plasma and serum ( P = 0.19, 0.18, and 0.057, respectively; Student t -test) owing to large variances between individuals ( Fig 5D ), a clear trend of a selective increase in platelet-associated proteins in serum is in good agreement with the results observed in mouse blood experiments ( Fig 4 ).

Accordingly, our study found an increasing trend of CHE, irrespective of the measurement methods applied, where the absolute level of CHE was substantial in 2016.

With increasing distance from the working face, the air leakage speeds show a decreasing trend.

The change in obesity was borderline significant (p-value 0.05), the other changes were not statistically significant.
