The number of incidence cases increased by 128.32% (95% UI: 109.45–147.49%) from 1990 to 2019, and ASIR showed a slightly increasing trend in this period (EAPC 0.32, 95% CI: 0.27–0.38) ( Table 2 ).

The preoperative SMI was significantly decreased at 6 months postoperatively and showed a slightly increasing trend during the 1-year postoperative period.

Figure 3C shows that the maximum leaf width of G1500 displayed a slightly increasing trend, indicating that the high concentration of CO 2 in the soil had a strong inhibitory effect on leaf expansion.

Using a lower BMI cut-off, the prevalence of confirmed HFpEF and suspected HFpEF according to the H 2 FPEF score revealed a slightly increasing trend, while the prevalence of no HFpEF revealed a decreasing trend.

Moreover, a slightly increasing trend in height increment (raw shoot-increment series) was detected on all plots ( Fig. 6 ).

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.

There was a slightly increasing trend in the organic carbon concentration along the river course.

In addition, we observed a slightly increasing trend in the incidence of AFR, AFVR, ABD, and FD over the years since 2009; this may coincide with the duration of the implementation of the SSS and is likely associated with the increased distribution of data reporting and feedback at all levels during the last nine consecutive years.
