When men and women were combined in a single analysis, there was no interaction between BW and sex, and a significant trend toward an increase in Forns Index with decreasing BW ( β = −0.05; p = 0.04) was observed.

When total sleep duration was considered (mean sleep duration/night during 1 week including both workdays or schooldays and days off), the OR of MS among those with a sleep duration less than 7 hours/night was 1.4 (95% CI 1.1 to 1.8), with a significant trend showing increasing MS risk with decreasing total sleep duration (p=0.04) (not in table).

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database showed a significant trend for decreased STK3 mRNA expression in prostate tissues of rs7827435 variant allele (T) carriers ( P = 0.04, Figure 2A ).

Concerning PFS, no significant association was determined when analyzing all three allelic variations (chi-square = 4.2, P = 0.12), although a significant trend was detected (chi-square = 4.1, P = 0.04).

Compared to the lowest quartile there was a significant trend for decreased odds with increasing quartiles of either DHA or EPA (odds ratios in the highest quartiles were OR: 0.32, P = 0.04 for DHA, and OR: 0.29, P = 0.02 for EPA).

In a univariate analysis there was a significant negative correlation between PTH and 25(OH) D (p<0.0001, see Table 4 ) and a significant trend for PTH to be higher in Indian subjects (p = 0.04) and females (p = 0.0002).

Image Parametric and Tumor Histological Grade As shown in Figure 2 , 18 F-FDG SUVmean showed a significant trend across the recorded grades G1–G3 (Kruskal–Wallis p = 0.04).

There was a significant trend towards a decreasing prevalence of H. pylori infection for studies that included only urban populations ( p = 0.04; 9 datasets).

Weekly mean θ v at 1 m shows a significant trend of 0.63% per year ( p < .04) and years that develop significant drainage to the sub‐soil (1–5 m) provides a critical moisture reserve that maintains the gas exchange of the evergreen Eucalyptus / Corymbia tree species through the dry season (Figure 5b,c ), as has been observed by previous seasonal measures of tree transpiration (Hutley et al., 2000 ; O'Grady et al., 1999 ).

Individuals with the highest adherence to an unhealthful plant-based diet did not show steeper rates of cognitive decline compared to those with lowest adherence (difference T1 vs T3: − 0.04 [− 0.11, 0.04], p = 0.33), though the continuous analysis indicated a significant trend (β per 10-point increment: − 0.05 [− 0.09, 0.00], p = 0.04).

Not shown in Table 6 are the dose-response results from the Fifteen County Study [ 14 ], which did report a significant trend (p = 0.04) with ounces/week ST ever used (though not with years used), based on seven ST-exposed cases.

A significant trend for greater odds of being overweight has been reported in participants with serum creatine levels in the fourth quartile than in the first three quartiles ( p = 0.04).

A significant trend to an overrepresentation of unfavourable FAB types in CD105 hi AMLs was observed (3 vs. 10 patients; p = 0.04), while increased WBC was significantly associated with the CD105 hi cohort (mean WBC 78.4 vs. 142 G/L; p = 0.009).
