those born after the CHC training was completed) was 23.5% in the Classic CHC villages compared to 23% the Lite and 27% in the Control - a 3.5% improvement which could have been interpreted as a positive trend by the cRCT, given such minimal input on nutrition.

The minimum temperatures recorded a positive trend in Gangtok (0.036 ̊C year− 1 from 1961 to 2017) as well as in Tadong (0.065 ̊C year− 1 from 1981 to 2010) stations, while the maximum temperatures showed no trend in Tadong station from 1981 to 2010 which is consistent with the trend in Gangtok station for the overlapped period.

Although not statistically significant, we observed a positive trend in the proportion of subjects that became frequent exacerbators when FGF23 levels were divided in quartiles.

Conclusion : A single session of tVNS seems to improve upper limb motor functions but not cognitive functions in post-stroke patients, despite a positive trend was detected.

In the same group, a positive trend was also observed for visceral fat score, although this association did not reach statistical significance (B = 0.384, 95% CI -0.001 to 0.769; p = 0.051).

Our findings revealed a positive trend towards decreased depression prevalence among the population, while cognitive impairment showed an increasing prevalence.

There also appears to be a positive trend with the tree composition of the genera Eugenia , Podocarpus, Olea , and Washingtonia ( Figure 4 d), but this relationship is not statistically significant ( p = 0.060).

Number of children and months of lactation displayed different effects in women with low and high educational level, with the interaction term proving statistically significant (P = 0.001 and 0.040 respectively): while parity showed a positive trend among women with low educational level (primary school or less), in women with higher level of education (secondary school or university) the OR decreased by 23% for every child (P = 0.012).

The ASMR for MAFLD (AAPC = 0.99, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.03) and MASH-related liver cancer (AAPC = 0.82, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.92) exhibited a positive trend, while the ASMR for MAFLD-related cirrhosis showed a declining pattern (AAPC = − 0.05, 95% CI to 0.20 to 0.11) over recent decades (Fig. 1 D-F; Table 1 ).
