“a negative trend”

Finally, there has been a negative trend in the number of publications in the last two years (2021–2022).

Three main questions guided our study: (1) Do trees affected by partial crown damage experience a long-term, continuous decline in radial growth? (2) Does the growth sensitivity to climatic drivers differ between trees with varying proportions of crown damage? (3) Is there a critical degree of crown damage beyond which growth shifts irreversibly to a negative trend?

Although not statistically significant, a negative trend of correlation between CENPF expression and CD4 + T cells was observed; we propose that the lack of statistical significance may be related to the small sample size and the lack of further phenotypic analysis.

As regards the age classes, a negative trend was observed for the elder categories (≥40 years), which decreased both during and after the lockdown.

Inspecting CLSM performance relative to GRACE during the 2002–2017 period shows that CLSM has a negative trend in surface water basins (e.g., Congo, Niger, Parana), and deviates from GRACE (‐FO) after 2012.

Daily water temperatures were simulated using a sinusoidal function with an annual periodicity and amplitude of 13°C, plus a negative trend in the annual mean of −0.5°C over 20 years starting from an original mean of 12°C.

On the other hand, LOOH/CD exhibited a negative trend with the olefinic band relative intensity, % I rel (C–H), consistent with the expected loss of unsaturation during lipid peroxidation.

Graphical inspection of findings (see Figure 4 ) indicated a negative trend in Step 3 data, such that number of reported behavior problems reduced following Step 3 (Step 3: pre M = 65.30 to post M = 61.43).

Proteomics data revealed that in both flavonoid mutants proteasomal complexes were upregulated during the initial phase of cold acclimation, that is, during 3 days at 4°C, while a negative trend was observed for Col‐0.

The association was supported by a negative trend between MMP-9 and aggrecan expression, a core component of PNNs.

The trend of SH may be driven by an increase in natural emissions, as suggested by positive trends of aerosol loading and N d over remote oceans, and a negative trend in parts of coastal regions (Figs. 1 and S2 ).

After 72 hours, cell growth increased up to the concentration of 100 μg/ml, but at the concentration of 400 μg/ml, cell survival percentage undergone a negative trend, and the highest cytotoxicity was observed, which was statistically significant ( Table 1 ).

Nevertheless, M7 exhibited a negative trend that increases with voltage, indicating a rising Δ 7 Li value.

A negative trend was observed between Mn and Zn where Mn tissue concentrations decreased with increasing ZnCl 2 and Zn lactate concentrations.

Despite the evidence supporting the inverse association between BMI and risk of breast pre-menopausal cancer [ 25 ], we observed a negative trend only with BMI values greater than 27 kg/m 2 .

Our study demonstrated that approximately one-tenth of the enrolled SSNHL patients had evidence of concurrent EBV infection, as reflected by the positive qPCR test results, and a negative trend between hearing gain and the viral DNA PCR level was found within the affected cohort after steroid therapy.

While we found a negative trend between social instability and fitness measures that agreed with the frequently negative effects reported by specific studies, this relationship was not statistically significant.

Interestingly, by accounting for the presence of AS, a negative trend was observed between WSS mag and aortic diameter ( Figures 5 , 6 ) though it did not reach statistical significance, resulting in an apparent paradox compared to when AS was not accounted for as an additional variable ( Figures 3A , 4 ).

Time spent sitting on working days has had a tendency to decrease, yet a negative trend in the decrease in self-reported total PA has not been confirmed.

The scatter plots suggested a negative trend between the MoCA score and the IJVS degree, but no apparent visual association with the absolute cross-sectional area.

They start with a negative trend up to sample 1525; the interval up to sample 1432 is characterized by high values, with two phases exhibiting several positive peaks (1503–1516, 1477–1455) and a decline afterwards up to sample 1432; this marks the turning point to overall increasing values ( Fig. 3 b).

This publication reported a negative trend between fatigue and pain scores with NKG2C expression in ME/CFS patients where this was not observed in HC.

Instead, acetylcarnitine presented a negative trend with the abundance of both hypoxanthine and glycerophosphocholine ( Figure 3C ).

Across individual studies, the study by Reyhaneh Khazaei ( 51 ) showed the most significant effect of the intervention (SMD = −2.11, 95% CI: −3.09 to −1.13), whereas Odole C ( 53 ) showed a slight positive effect (SMD = 0.24, 95% CI: −0.31 to 0.79), while the rest of the studies showed a negative trend.

This indicator demonstrates a negative trend in recent years, despite active initiatives in the city aimed at addressing traffic issues, such as the construction of bus lanes and bicycle paths, and efforts to limit transit traffic, which contributes to half of the congestion.
