Thereafter, a decreasing trend ( p < 0.001) was noted until the end of the experiment.

Annual crime rates for the 2009–2016 period show a decreasing trend in both the general population (IRR=0.981 (95%CI=0.978–0.983) p<0.001) and in patients with FEPs (IRR=0.019 (95%CI=0.012–0.028) p<0.001); this pattern is more pronounced the FEP group.

The data indicated a significant increasing trend in the prevalence of DM, from 8.3% (in 2009) to 9.7% (in 2019) (p=0.004), in contrast the prevalence of CVD among patients with DM showed a decreasing trend (from 33.9% to 20.4%; p<0.001).

Annual crime rates for the 2009–2016 period show a decreasing trend in both the general population (IRR = 0.981, 95% CI 0.978–0.983, P < 0.001) and in the FEP group (IRR = 0.019, 95% CI 0.012–0.028, P < 0.001); this pattern is more pronounced in the FEP group.

A decreasing trend in current smoking habits in each quantile of the 1996–2000 year (adjusted OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.71–0.93, P = 0.001), 2001–2005 year (adjusted OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.62–0.80, P = 0.001), 2006–2010 year (adjusted OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.67–0.84, P = 0.001), 2011–2015 year (adjusted OR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.42–0.54, P = 0.001), 2016–2020 year (adjusted OR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.43–0.54, P = 0.001), and ≥2021 year (adjusted OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.40–0.53, P = 0.001) was observed in comparison to the quantile 1991–1995 year.

In addition, a decreasing trend in age from northern to southern Italy was observed ( p = 0.001).

However, the consumption of refined grains in higher quartiles showed a decreasing trend ( p < 0.001).

Similarly, in the MCDB cohort, patients’ prognoses showed a decreasing trend by the new pN classification (all P < 0.001, Fig. 4 C).

This was driven by an increasing number of firearm injuries per 10 000 ED visits at the S site (β=+0.11 (SE 0.02), p≤0.001), whereas the W site had no change over time and the MA and NE sites both had a decreasing trend over time (β=−0.19 (SE 0.04), p=0.001; β=−0.0.15 (SE 0.04), p=0.002, respectively).

A decreasing trend of DC was observed in all age groups, and ICP showed an increasing trend ( p < 0.001) in all age groups except for the 1–3-year-old group where the increasing trend of ICP was not statistically significant ( p = 0.056).

For the NOVEL group, the condition-independent component showed a decreasing trend over stimulus repetitions (Fig. 6 b top); a linear regression showed that this variance decrease was significant ( t (6) = − 9.774, p < 0.001).
