Consistent with this model, we observed a significant increase in ion counts for glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), ribose-5-phosphate, and a positive trend in sedoheptulose-7-phosphate (S7P) in MDX muscle (Fig. 1 e, g).

Discussion In the current study, we observed a positive trend for higher risk of breast cancer incidence across increasing TV viewing time categories with a borderline significance among total women and reached a level of significance among postmenopausal women after adjusting for physical activity and other potential confounders.

The meta-regression, however, showed that 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria (coefficient = −2.759, P = .0013) reduced the likelihood, while F:M ratio (coefficient = 0.654, P = .007) showed a positive trend in this model ( Table 5 ).

In general, a positive trend in the change in the compressive strength of geopolymer concretes is observed when the content of the PCW additive is from 5% to 20% inclusive, and at 25–30%, the compressive strength begins to gradually decrease.

Importantly, the levels of KHDC4 and TRAF2 increased with rising Gleason scores, in contrast to using KLK3 (PSA) as a prognosis factor, which did not exhibit a positive trend ( Figure 3C ) ( Supplementary Table 10 ).

We hypothesized that the frequency of PNA or IDK answers might also increase as a function of the order in which the questions were asked because of fatigue experienced by the participant as time spent taking a survey increases, but negative binomial regression found no evidence of a positive trend for IDK or PNA (Supplementary Fig. 2 ).
