Local drift values for the IS death rate between 25 and 54 years old were higher than 0 in low-income areas, suggesting an increasing trend to varying degrees for this age group; local drift values for the IS death rate between 55 and 69 years old were lower than 0, suggesting a decreasing trend to varying degrees for this age group; local drift values for the IS death rate over 70 years old are higher than 0.

Cohort effects show a clear trend that, globally, those born earlier with LPA have higher ASMR.

In addition, the measurements of 3D area, perimeter, height, and AP diameter showed an increasing trend during systolic phase until reaching their maximal values near end of systole, which is in agreement with the findings from previous studies 12 , 23 .

On the other hand, as results for the head orienting response to “anger” sounds were marginally significant, it would be interesting to test this condition in future studies using a larger sample of dogs in order to verify if the lack of statistical significance is only a question of statistical power.

Although the global cohort RR for female was higher than that for men in 1990, the situation crossed in 1945 and then showed a trend of higher cohort RR for male than for female.

Male preference for the acetic acid-laden fields in the 4-way olfactometer as compared to the control sides was highly significant (Fig. 4B ).

Likewise, aminotransferases showed a trend towards higher levels in patients with pAIH who achieved BR.

Post hoc analysis of VAX004 further showed a trend toward lower HIV incidence among vaccinees with CD4-blocking and V2- and V3-binding Ab activity versus placebo recipients, and higher levels of these Abs were seen in nonwhite and female volunteers 4 .

Although conflicting data have been reported, the NIH Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort study showed a trend for reduced knee joint space narrowing following bisphosphonate use after 4 years 39 .

The ToF-SIMS analysis of Ca 2+ and PO 3 − levels in articular cartilage revealed an increase in Ca 2+ in the DMM surgery group, while PO 3 − levels showed a decreasing trend in the DMM group compared to the those in the sham group.

An increasing trend with age is observed.

Specifically, VSD and lnEFD remain highly significant, but the 1% trimmed regression results for lnSO 2 are not significant, while the 5% trimmed regression results are significant at the 10% level.

Furthermore, the outcomes on PI_v and PI_v+IKV confirmed the results found in the short-term adhesion analysis, resulting in a positive trend for cellular long-term attachment, differentiation and neurite sprouting for both the sequential surface modifications, thus leading to assume that vinyl groups and vinyl-bound IKV contribute to improve surface compliance for PC12 differentiation (Fig. 5C ).

There were no significant differences between WT and Cav1−/− mice with respect to potassium, calcium, urea, and creatinine levels; although a strong trend towards augmented calcium excretion and a moderate trend towards potassium wasting were observed.

Simultaneously, with the increase in abortions, endometrial thickness also revealed a decreasing trend.

As described above we were able to capture interactions which were not significant within the context of pairwise comparison but might be significant when considered along the entire spatial axis.

Half of the phenotypes were less than 1.3 standard deviation (sd) from the mean, yet still highly significant, mainly because of the large number (>30) of individual flies that can be easily assayed.

We found various lineages of macrohaplogroup M and N, clearly indicating high diversity and maternal gene flow to and from the region as discussed and also indicated by large negative values of Fu’s Fs statistics and the highly significant values of Tajima’s D (Supplementary Table 1 ).

The SAH volume showed a trend to be a negative determinant (OR, 0.91; CI, 0.81 to 1.01) for favorable outcome.

P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant and P < 0.10 was considered to be trending toward significance.

There was no significant change in the intensity or area of the B-form helix conformation of DNA, while there were quite significant changes for the Z conformation of DNA.

Due to the fact that the P value was close to significance threshold, we performed additional separate paired Student’s t -tests (uncorrected), to test whether differences between both conditions (EF vs IF) occurred for any phase.

Both of the top peach and shrimp allergy associated SNPs were nominally significant in apple and crab reactive subjects (Top peach SNP: rs28359884, P apple = 5.75 × 10 −6 ; Top shrimp SNP: rs74995702, P crab = 1.22 × 10 −3 ).

For the taxa that differed between HC and NAFLD, partial correlations between diagnosis status and abundance were highly significant after controlling for BMI or IR.

In the analysis of 24-h pH monitoring results in patients presenting varying degrees of anxiety and depression, the Kruskal–Wallis test revealed a notable trend: as the severity of anxiety and depression increased, there was a corresponding rise in the ranked means of all recorded outcomes.
