“a decreasing trend”

The contents of Cr, Cu, As, Pb and Zn in MLS were significantly exceeded those in MLZ and MLX, which reason was that long-term storage of CG due to weathering and rainwater leaching promoted the activity of harmful heavy metals in CG, some of them were dissolved into the water body or soil with precipitation and infiltration, continued to migrate and enrich, resulting in the increase of heavy metal content in the soil [ 13 , 14 ], and it showed a decreasing trend with the increase distance from CG dump [ 19 , 22 ], aligning with observations by Lu et al.

In the PCOS–endometriosis (EMs) subgroup, the spontaneous abortion rate had a decreasing trend, but the difference was not statistically significant ( p > 0.05).

The content of soil nutrients exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing soil depth, which aligned with previous studies (Wu et al. 2020 ), and supported part of our first hypothesis.

In the PXR-knockdown group (siRNA group), the expression level of p-AMPK was approximately twice that of the NC group, while the p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT ratios showed a decreasing trend compared to the NC group.

Comparison of CPAS‐Treated and Propensity Matched Control Cohorts Health care utilization for asthma and markers of severe exacerbation including ED visits, hospitalizations and OCS prescriptions demonstrated a decreasing trend over the first 18 months after the first CPAS visit, compared with propensity‐matched controls (Figure 3 ).

Subsequently, the slow growth stage of perovskite microcrystals began, in which the value of dAI/dt showed a decreasing trend until it reached zero, indicating that the formation and growth rate of perovskite microcrystals gradually decreased because the exchange reaction became slow with the continuous consumption of solvent molecules.

LASr showed a decreasing trend with increasing age (Supplementary Table S1 ).
