Loci that reached a plateau or showed an exponential trend in their estimated private allele frequencies (selection thresholds were fixed to ≥ 50 and ≥ 45% of privale allele frequency, respectively) were considered as potentially useful for tracing the origin of pangolins found in the markets, whereas loci showing a decreasing trend were discarded.

While the causes for CC are not clearly known and may be multifactorial, 16 we postulate that the low incidence with the LWBI could be related to the effect of less weight causing less mechanical irritation over time, and therefore we see a decreasing trend for CC in the long term as opposed to the steady growth in CC that we see in other studies with traditional implants within similar time frames.

During the pandemic peak, the “negative for COVID-19” group showed a large increase ( P = 0.003) in SIB rates compared to the control group, the “positive for COVID-19” group showed a decreasing trend, but not significant ( P = 0.314).

The trends were determined as follows: 1) An increasing trend was determined if both EAPC and 95% CI were > 0; 2) a decreasing trend was determined if both EAPC and 95% CI were < 0; 3) Others were deemed to be “stable” over time.
