Excerpts

As the urine cotinine level increased from Q1 to Q4, the urine microalbumin level did not show an increasing trend (P for trend = 0.35).

When controlling for the modifying variables which were statistically significant at the 5% level in the univariable model (age, knowledge, perceived barriers and self-efficacy scores), the multivariable logistic regression showed that independent factors associated with Pap smear uptake were age, perceived severity score and perceived barriers score, while knowledge score was marginally significant.

Flow cytometric analysis on day 7 demonstrated that V-iTregs as well as C-iTregs showed a trend toward suppressing allograft infiltration of CD45 + leukocytes, CD4 + T cells, CD8 + T cells, and F4/80 + macrophages compared with that of the control group without iTreg transfer, albeit without statistical significance ( Fig 4C ).

Finally, a small trend for a higher correlation between STST and 6MWT performance in children ≤ 10 years of age, compared to older children (> 10 years of age) was observed in this study (r = 0.54 vs r = 0.43, respectively).

Habitat type and FI, as well as the interaction between them, were highly significant predictors of AGB, dead biomass, absolute biomass change over time, and Fisher’s alpha diversity index ( Table 3 ).

We agree that the is a strong trend in our study in young NAION patients with Tobacco consumption, and although it did not reach statistical significance this may have been due to relatively low sample size.

A significant trend toward improved long-term survival was observed in women and not in men.

These features are highly significant in identifying the more acceptable changes in triangle property during emotional facial expressions than other statistical features [ 31 , 32 ].

Histological observations when scored as absent (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3) for nine different lesions in six compartments (pleura, alveolus, septum, interstitium, bronchiole, and bronchus) demonstrated significant differences for both treatment drug(s) and start times that were significant, including highly significant lower scores for group 6, treated with both FPI and ibuprofen from day 3 when compared to other groups.

Both the total area and the maximum patch area of urban bare lots exhibited a decreasing trend.

Age-specific trajectories showed a decreasing trend in the rates of total respiratory health service utilization from birth to five years of age for all groups studied.

Different from the ET o , which generally displayed a negative trend during 1960–1989 and a positive trend during 1990–2019, the seasonal and annual ET o showed various changing trends in each subregion and throughout the entire province during 1960–2019 ( Table 2 ).

Different from the reported continuous unidirectional variations in the ET o , in the province of Jiangsu, it generally showed a decreasing trend before 1990 but followed an increasing trend from 1990 to 2019, which led to the different characteristics of the “evaporation paradox” in the periods from 1960 to 1989, from 1990 to 2019, and from 1960 to 2019.

Third, we cannot exclude the possibility that the sharp decline in turnout across municipalities is merely a continuation of a negative trend in French electoral participation.

In RILs, highly significant differences were also noted for all three relative parameters.

In this study, the 10 proteins with the most highly significant t-test values were selected for the prediction model.

Despite the presence of significant differences in spiking responses between the four cell lines, we did not observe a reliable trend between the control and patient derived neurons.

In an attempt to evaluate the risk factors associated with IPD incidence in subgroup analysis, all comorbidities (dementia, depression, hypertension, and neurodegenerative disease) showed a trend for increased risks but with insignificant results.

IPD incidence was the highest in the 60–69 year-old group, which is slightly different from previous Korean IPD epidemiology results in 2007 where a ceiling of IPD incidence in individuals aged 70–79 years was noted with a decreasing trend thereafter [ 29 ].

Although EC exposure was positively associated with HUA in a dose-dependent manner only in men ( P trend = 0.04), a similar tendency was also observed in women with marginal significance ( P trend = 0.102).

The main effect of Dominance ( β = 0.04; z = 0.07; p = .94) was not a significant predictor, although its interaction with Subcondition ( β = 1.62; z = 1.84; p = .07) was marginally significant.

On the one hand, because the competition of stems and leaves with grains as Cd sinks, an increasing trend over time of grain Cd would be expected as modern wheat cultivars tend to be shorter than their historical counterparts [ 71 , 72 ].

[ 50 ] was excluded, which resulted in borderline significance.

Results were considered significant at P-value ≤ 0.05, considered highly significant at P-value ˂ 0.001, considered non-significant P-value ˃ 0.05 [ 32 ].

Therefore, in the three peak periods and the whole day on weekdays and weekends, the demand for taxi travel shows an increasing trend with the increase of the mixed degree of urban functions.
