Conclusion Compared to the previous meta-analysis prevalence in 2013–2017, the updated meta-analysis estimated prevalence of HBV infection (3%) from 2018 to 2020 showed a decreasing trend, suggesting China had moved into a lower intermediate epidemic area (2–5%).

In a study examining the effect of ZA on bone microarchitecture in male participants with non-metastatic prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy, there was no significant improvement in bone microarchitecture in the ZA arm despite an increase in BMD.[ 27 ] This phenomenon can be explained by the failure of ZA to completely suppress imbalanced bone remodelling, together with its inability to penetrate and distribute in sufficient quantity into deeper cortical bone tissue.[ 27 ] Effect of ZA on BTMs β-CTX levels showed a decreasing trend in the ZA arm (median percentage decrease of 43.22 at 12 months), while in the placebo arm, they initially decreased at 6 months (median percentage decrease of 10.3) but showed an increasing trend at 12 months (median percentage increase of 10.47).

The risk detector results show that, in most cases, permafrost risk values show a decreasing trend with increasing γ values.

In terms of lymph node yield, despite a decreasing trend, the average number of nodes resected in surgery during both learning and postlearning phases was considerably higher than the recommended threshold values of 15 nodes [mean (SD): 36.8 (16.1) vs. 29.1 (10.3), P <0.001].

However, Iba1 + cell number did not change significantly but presented a decreasing trend after light treatment (Fig. 2h–m and Supplementary Fig. 4a–f ).

According to the results, it can be mentioned that the variables number and length of shoots were favored by the presence of 1.5 mg l −1 of BAP in the culture medium, but, after this level, they showed a decreasing trend.

Interestingly, expression of PGC-1β protein was significantly downregulated in simulated microgravity groups compared to controls, while expression of PGC-1α protein exhibited a decreasing trend.

Specifically, for river samples, the most abundant phylum Pseudomonadota in the Tibetan Plateau exhibited a decreasing trend along with the transect, while the other abundant phylum Verrucomicrobia showed an increasing trend (Fig. 5d ).

The crystallite size exhibits a decreasing trend with increasing Ni content, attributed to the substitutional doping with a lower radius ion, resulting in a reduction in lattice constants.

Even though our results revealed a decreasing trend of C. sinensis infection risk in Guangdong in recent years, significant spatial heterogeneity existed across the study region.

With an increased focus on DVT prevention and the standardized application of preventive measures, the incidence of DVT after TKA shows a decreasing trend [ 7 – 9 ].

Compared with baseline (Table 1 ), there was a significant decrease in mPAP at months 6 and 18 (mean difference; -2.72 at month 6; P = 0.022, -2.56 at month 18; P = 0.030), and a decreasing trend at month 12 although no significant difference was noted (mean difference; -3.18; P = 0.063; R = 0.58).

We also found a decreasing trend of bullying victimization as the grade increased among both heterosexual and sexual minority students.

Although no significant difference in pH was observed between the JHE and JHW groups, a decreasing trend in pH along the course of the river was still detected in the JHE group, which dropped from 8.4 at JHE5 to 7.4 at JHE1.

Overall, the NH 4 + -N concentrations showed a decreasing trend throughout the experiment at each sampling point.

Conversely, the remaining regions of the AP have experienced a decreasing trend in the “no thermal stress” days, with a more notable decline (–12 to –15 days/decade) in UTCI mean observed along the Oman-UAE border (Fig. 4 f).

Especially, the abundance of most B cells and CD8 + T cells elevated in tumors while regulatory T cells and T helper cells exhibited a decreasing trend (Additional file 1 : Fig.

As the number of categories increased, the AIC, BIC, and aBIC values exhibited a decreasing trend, with Model 5 having the smallest value ( Fig. 1 ).

From 1990 to 2019, the EAPC of hip fractures in China for male (-1.7; 95 % CI, −2.2 to −1.2), female (-1.8; 95 % CI, −2.33 to −1.2), or both sexes (-1.8; 95 % CI, −2.3 to −1.2) were all below zero, indicating a decreasing trend of ASYR during this period.
