However, when we looked at the subset of patients with pancreatic cancer or hepatobiliary cancer, while a trend towards significance was seen favoring PCS patients, no statistically significant survival benefit was appreciated.

When untransduced (or Ad.βGal-transduced) ECs loaded with mtSOX Deep Red were exposed to SS, they showed an increasing trend in fluorescence with a few random transient peaks during SS (Fig. 3 A).

Starting from June 2021 onwards, the CO 2 diffuse gas emissions at VSCS station showed a positive trend, with an abrupt increase, lasted until September 2021.

SWD females’ levels of glycogen and TAG were significantly different depending on the feeding fruit media available, with the biggest difference occurring between females who fed on raspberry medium (lowest glycogen and TAG levels) and those fed on strawberry (highest glycogen and TAG levels), while total glucose levels showed a slight trend to increase on females fed on blueberry media.

Among the 20 OMIM derived gene-lists (CNS+ above 19), for the 78 sb-RPD gene set, statistically significant overrepresentation at p < 0.0025 (0.05/20) was noted for gene lists annotated with clinical synopsis terms ‘central nervous system’ (p cor = 0.026), ‘head and neck’ (p cor = 0.037), and a nominally significant overrepresentation for ‘peripheral nervous system (0.057) (Supplement S2 and S3 and Supplementary Table 4 ).

Overall, there is a general trend of decreasing Cl, Na, SO 4 and Sr with increasing distance from the west coast, whilst elements such as Fe, Ca, F and Si and isotopes such as δ 18 O, δ 13 C DIC and δ 13 C DOC do not show a clear trend (Fig. 5 e,h,i,k,l).

Moreover, there was a marginally significant increase in depressive symptoms from the first to the second assessment.

p Values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant, while p values between 0.1 and 0.05 were pointed out as a statistical trend.

While the number of colonies and honey production monotonously decreased in the United States, those in Canada show an increasing trend.

An increasing trend was observed with the number of comorbidities.

As presented in Table 2 , testing associations between schizotypal and psychopathic traits and MSIDT task performance revealed only one marginally significant correlation between schizotypal traits and behavioural reward processing, with the Disorganised dimension correlating with reduced response accuracy towards neutral stimuli, r s (132) = − 0.17, p = 0.045.

In under-median LD, there was a partially significant association between the divided categories, decreased incidence of low neonatal Apgar scores at 5 min and foetal acidosis in nulliparous women, and only UmA-pH < 7.2 in multiparous women without dose–response association (data not shown).

NKA showed a decreasing trend with the increase in temperature, and a U-shaped trend with the increase in salinity.

A borderline significant stenosis was revealed on the proximal part of the right coronary artery.

A slightly significant correlation was found for systolic blood pressure and the metabolites, which is needed to be investigated in larger cohorts of patient to conclude if the high blood pressure is confounding factor that might contribute to the identified differences in metabolome profile in this study.

All these hypotheses were confirmed except for coupling, where we still found a statistical trend in the expected direction.

However, the p-values achieved from Cox regression analyses were less than 0.001 for age, sex, and their interaction; and there was a clear trend that the degree of BMI and childbirth correlate with the risk of idiopathic MH.

Weekly temporal evolution of ∆Ct NR over the study period evidenced three significant changes: a decreasing trend in ∆Ct NR was observed between weeks 20 and 30, ∆Ct NR then increased during weeks 37–41 and finally decreased again after week 49.

In this study, the length of hospital stay was also shorter in the LISA group although the results were not statistically significant but the reduction of seven days of hospital stay is clinically quite significant and has a major social and economic impact, especially in the backdrop of LMIC.

By contrast, in high Cd soil, the root biomass showed a decreasing trend by liming (L and RL treatments) and it was not affected by R.

As a result, serum levels of butyric acid were higher in FM patients compared to controls, whereas levels of propionic acid and isobutyric acid were lower or showed a trend towards lower levels, respectively.

6 , the hydrodynamic pressure generally shows a decreasing trend with the increase of gate opening, while its change is complex and does not linear change with the opening.

In age subgroup analysis by age of 40 years, subgroup with age < 40 years presented the marginally significant association between mushrooms consumption ≥ one serving size/week and the decreased risk of depressive symptoms (Table 3 ).

If the absolute value of UF k is greater than UF α/2 , there is a significant trend.

While there were no significant differences between PO 4 treatments at each time point, there were highly significant differences in each treatment over time, with the highest values always at the start and lowest values at the end of the experiment.
