“a negative trend”

No significant education × APOE ε4 interaction was observed, though a negative trend suggested that increasing education attenuated ε4-related impairment.

As an example, if thresholds for transfusions previously were too high, a finding of more—or no decline in—transfusions over the project's span could be interpreted as a negative trend but might actually reflect greater awareness of need, a positive finding.

Considering these conditions, the LoQ of our method was set at 5 nM based on precision and accuracy criteria. The scatter plots showed a negative trend between ME and RE values for each standard at both concentrations, indicating that lots with higher recovery also had higher matrix effects, and vice versa ( Figure S3 ).

As shown in Table 8 , the monthly maximum temperature in dega agroecology showed a positive trend from January to April and August months, while the other months exhibit a negative trend.

An additional sensitivity analysis, where both these interventions were excluded, indicated no problems with heterogeneity, residuals, or variance, but results remained non-significant and indicated a negative trend.

In addition, there was a difference in the mean and median values of F-total scores between the group who did not use the Choisoko system and the other groups, and a negative trend was observed in the scatter plot for the frequency of the Choisoko system use.

Namely, a negative trend of HWL latitude refers an equatorward migration of the averaged HWL latitude, indicating that more frequent heatwaves occurrence at lower latitudes.

due to a negative individual increase in inbreeding produced by a negative trend of inbreeding coefficients in the first two generations, which was probably produced by the abrupt change in mating design.

Several proteins displayed a positive trend across the phenotypes from NoAPS to MAPS ( Figure 1E , top panel), while others showed a negative trend ( Figure 1E , lower panel), suggesting an association with clinical severity of APS.

It became a negative trend , and I would feel rather worthless because you cannot help , as you want to.

These findings suggest that although a negative trend exists, statistical significance was not achieved, likely because of factors such as limited sample size, more farms investigated, seasonal variation, or unaccounted external factors such as environmental stress and management practices.

Dose-response relationship in topiramate users In a dose-response multiple regression analysis conducted exclusively within the topiramate subgroup (n = 45), a negative trend was observed between the topiramate dose and weight change (= -0.014), indicating increased weight loss with higher doses ( Table 7 ).

Bulk density showed a negative trend with age whereas infiltration increased with time in the reforestation plantings.

To our surprise, we found that almost half of the 21 pairs tested showed a negative trend, and that 5 out of 12 significant sign-epistatic interactions were negative.

Also, we observed a negative trend of downwind direction in comparison with non-downwind for lung function changes, however, it was not statistically significant ( β = −0.065 for FVC, and β = −0.016 for FEV 1 ).

Further, continuous analyses also indicate that the extent of CM moderates the effect of perceived social support on limbic activity showing a negative trend in HC with low to moderate CM and, conversely, a positive trend in HC with high CM.

Although the PDSI had positive values from September 1967 to January 1996, indicating normal and wet drought conditions (Table C1), it has a negative trend.
