“a clear trend”

However, recurrence rate data between the two groups showed a clear trend in favour of ES over stenting as a BTS (26% vs 40%), although this was not statistically significant.

There has been a clear trend in the superiority of rhythm control compared to rate control in recent years largely attributable to the incremental benefit of early rhythm over rate control alone in terms of improved overall symptoms and quality of life scores and reduced heart failure hospitalizations, stroke, dementia, and overall cardiovascular death[ 57 , 58 ].

The study demonstrated a clear trend of each outcome in favor of UF; weight loss (primary endpoint), dyspnea improvement and net fluid loss assessed at 48 h from enrollment resulted statistically significant ( P = 0.001) in the UF arm of the study as compared to diuretics arm.

There was a clear trend to reduce the operating time in the group, because the preparation of the patient and antibiotic prophylaxis was planned in the ISBAR session.

However, we could observe a clear trend that patients who received chemoradiation had more favorable prognosis compared with those treated with radiation alone.

Symptom burden and working ability before and after group psychotherapy A clear trend was observed in the symptom burden as rated by the patients.

On the other hand, in the case of samples with a finer-grained filler, there is a clear trend of decreasing resistivity with drying of the sample.

The refinements thus reveal a clear trend towards longer refined bond lengths with a deviation that increases with the polarity of the covalent bond and the temperature, which thus reveals the limitations of the independent atom model.

4 Discussion In general, the numbers are better than in many earlier studies and show a clear trend towards a change in favour of female representation for both the EAU and ESPU.

However, they do suggest a clear trend and the authors consider this trend meaningful.

The existing literature suggests that there was an overall trend towards increased alcohol consumption and a clear trend towards increased use of other substances use in the general population during COVID-19 [ 76 ].

There was a clear trend toward a lower intracyclic velocity fluctuation at the 50-m pace than the 400-m pace, with the ICVF CV being significantly lower at the faster pace.

Added value of this study Our exploratory study on the dynamic changes in the urinary metabolome of asphyctic newborns undergoing therapeutic hypothermia in their first three days of life showed that steroidogenesis was the most deranged pathway; the novelty of our work is that we showed that patients’ urinary steroid levels were lower than in healthy matched newborns, and showed a clear trend towards steady decrease over time.

The decay components and fitting results (Table S2 † ) are consistent with an ultrafast decay component τ 1 attributed to the electron transfer from the inorganic layer to the NDI since a clear trend of increasing GSB decay time with an increase in the well width ( n ) is found.

There was a clear trend in the physiological distribution of GI eosinophils: they were detectable in the stomach, rose toward the anus, peaked in the ascending colon, and decreased toward the anus [ 58 , 59 ].

In this study, medians of p-Tau (rpAD: 85.5 pg/ml; non-rpAD: 77 pg/ml) and the p-Tau/Tau ratio (rpAD, median: 0.16; AD, median: 0.17) showed no significant differences but a clear trend towards higher levels of p-Tau in rpAD.

However, there was a clear trend for men to have the lowest muscle tension during MINDFUL, and the tension decreased minute-by-minute.

A clear trend of period lengthening effects was observed in WT in the presence of 1–100 μM AZD4573, while ∆ brd-8 shows even a stronger dose effect on period changes than WT, especially 100 μM at which concentration ∆ brd-8 becomes completely arrhythmic, while WT is ~ 6 h longer than seen under no drug treatment (Fig. 7a ).

There is a clear trend in the intensity of the pre-edge feature with reduced coordination, exhibited most clearly by the difference between Li 2 VI ZrO 3 and VIII ZrSiO 4 .

In the sensitivity analyses: 1) Ever users of oBs showed the same pattern observed in the main analysis: a specific positive association with cardioembolic IS and a clear trend with duration ( Supplementary Table S3 ); 2) the inclusion of prevalent users of oBs made the association to vanish overall (AOR = 1.06; 95% CI:0.89–1.25), even in long-term current users (AOR>1–3 years = 1.14; 95% CI:0.89–1.45 and AOR>3 years = 1.16; 95% CI:0.89–1.53) ( Supplementary Table S4 ). 4

In Figure 4 B, the modified surface potential found on PCO10 electrodes is correlated with the Smith acidity of the decorations and a clear trend can be observed.

However, a clear trend can be reported.

We found a clear trend where mRNAs from chromatin-enriched genes have on average shorter half-lives compared to transcripts from non-enriched genes and nucleoplasm-enriched genes, with the latter having on average the longest half-lives.

Though this difference is not statistically significant, there is a clear trend of the benefit of blood transfusion as most of the patients who needed blood transfusion belonged to the high-risk group and belonged to the ASA III category.

PC2 represent 89% of the explained variance, reflecting a clear trend with the treatment in the direction of PC2 ( Figure 1 A).
