Besides, the activities of STING signalling pathway (Figure 5I , Figure S6B ), NOTCH signalling pathway (Figure 5N , Figure S6C ) and IL6_JAK_STAT3 signalling pathway (Figure 5S , Figure S6D ) were unstable in responders, while their activities showed a slightly increasing trend in non‐responders, demonstrating the probable activations of these signalling pathways in CD8 + Tex of non‐responders.

In terms of the trend of change, the contribution of intra-regional variation over the sample period showed a slightly increasing trend from 29.906% in 2012 to 30.172% in 2022, while the contribution of hyper-variable density showed a significant increasing trend from 25.534% in 2012 to 44.829% in 2022; The contribution rate of inter-regional differences shows a sharp downward trend from 44.560% in 2012 to 24.999% in 2022, which shows that the contribution rates of the current sources of spatial differentiation in the efficiency of rural industrial integration in China are, in order, hyper-variable density > inter-regional differences > intra-regional differences.

There was a slightly increasing trend in prevalence, but this was not statistically significant.

The simulated population showed a stable evolution and even a slightly increasing trend, with a positive stochastic population growth rate (rs = 0.023) and a positive deterministic population growth rate (rd = 0.024), with a λ > 1 (lambda = 1.024), again showing the trend towards a slight increase over years ( Figure 4 ). 4.

That is, T 21 , T 22 , and T 23 decreased gradually together with their corresponding S 23 and S 22 , which had some fluctuation, but S21 presented a slightly increasing trend, and the decrease trend of S 23 was relatively more obvious than that of S 22 .

Although the Shannon diversity index [ 27 ] showed a slightly increasing trend in the HFD group compared with that in the ND group, this difference was not statistically significant.

Nevertheless, the expression of the narG and narH genes did not differ significantly over time among the strains, although narH showed a slightly increasing trend at 24 h in DM075.

In the acutely damaged cochlear explants, the snRNA‐seq analysis showed no significant changes in Xaf1 expression level within the cochlear explants or in HCs of the Neo group (Figure 4A ), but there was a slightly increasing trend in the Neo group.

After 2012, however, transport accident mortality began to decline, falling from 23.8 deaths per 100,000 people to 15.7 in 2019, whereas non-transport accident mortality maintained a slightly increasing trend.
