“an apparent trend”

It is also possible to measure article impact independently of journal impact by directly consulting citation data of individual publications, especially given an apparent trend in the scientific community towards citing fewer and more recent articles 35 .

The subgroup of AAV9-mTERT treated mice that maintained or decreased the percentage of short telomeres also showed an apparent trend to survive longer than those that increased percentage of short telomeres, in both age groups (Supporting Information Fig S7F ), suggesting that rescue of short telomeres is associated with increased longevity.

demonstrated improved rates of pCR and 2-year EFS regardless of PD-L1 expression with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone, as well as an apparent trend that higher PD-L1 expression was associated with increased rates of 2-year EFS compared with lower PD-L1 expression ( 70 ).

Therefore, we confirmed a significantly increased MOS mRNA in KCCux1p110 mice compared to control mice and an apparent trend compared to KC mice ( Figure S5C ).

3 ). When comparing the unadjusted risk of complication using the Kaplan-Meier method, M-M bearings showed an apparent trend toward higher overall risk of DVT (Fig. 4 ) and revision THA (Fig. 5 ) than C-C bearings.

Although we identified an association only at the 95th percentile on the highest tail, there was an apparent trend to increase the strength of the association (in an inverse direction) with the increase of the percentiles.

If air velocity is below 0.5 m/s, which is equivalent to the air change rate 10 h −1 for ordinary condition, the measured particle concentration has an apparent trend of increase compared with the calculated value based on uniform distribution theory.

In the recombinants of serotype 1, the deleted type-specific sequences mapped predominantly to the region spanning between the capsid genes and internal parts of the 3D pol gene, with an apparent trend to retain, in some cases, their own 3ABC and surrounding sequences, suggesting the possibility that there are two most likely regions undergoing removal located around the 2B/2C and 3C/3D borders respectively ( Figure 1 A).

There is an apparent trend in the accuracy produced for each channel.

The subadult blastema showed a few significantly differentially expressed RE subfamilies (DEREs), i.e., 3–4 downregulated and 1–9 upregulated, with an apparent trend of RE downregulation ( Figure 2 A,B and S3C (Supporting Information)).

There was an apparent trend of in- creased urinary abnormalities (more self-reported prob- lems, leukocyturia, and hematuria) and lower helper/ suppressor-cytotoxic lymphocyte ratios in the exposed group.

There was an apparent trend of higher mean basal estradiol values in the GnRH stimulation test results in the early cases (Table 3 ).

However, there was an apparent trend for those with severe malaria to have lower ET-1 levels compared to uncomplicated malaria patients, although a direct relationship with parasitaemia was not evident [ 23 ].

While the prevalence of astigmatism and hypermetropia was stable at each time point, there was an apparent trend for an increase in myopia.

We can see that older people's metric curves do not have an apparent trend, but they are always lower than younger people's.

Similarly, Price (1997) first observed that the annual growth rate during 1973–1992 was declining, and Price and Ware (2004) reported “no substantive changes in time pattern of mesothelioma incidence since 1992.” Furthermore, surveillance information in United States does not show an apparent trend from 1999 to 2002 ( National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 2005 ).

This finding may be related to an apparent trend toward program enrollment earlier in the course of illness as a result of increased outreach and to general improvements in the physical functioning of PWAs because of more effective medical treatments.

Immunohistochemical analysis in liver and spleen sections shows an apparent trend for a slight decrease in the intensity of ferroportin staining in Kupffer cells (Figure 3F ) and splenic macrophages (Figure 3I ), mainly in wild type mice with CKD.

Nevertheless, an apparent trend toward increased claudin-5 and occludin after one dose of LPS treatment may indicate enhanced protection of the BBB ( Figure 1C ).

Moreover, these results show that an apparent trend with narrow confidence intervals can only be achieved when the sample size is sufficient.

A total of 40% of patients continue to show symptoms into adolescence, while 25% are diagnosed with an anti-social disorder at the same time, and recent research points to an apparent trend in the increase in the prevalence of ADHD among adults [ 38 , 39 ].

Overall, from 2000 to 2008, there was an apparent trend of increasing interest in this topic.

Although in the all BTAS glass ceramic samples the differences in the peak frequencies between the ‐Z′′ and M′′ versus frequency plots does not show an apparent trend, the mismatch of the peak frequency found in the BTAS‐3 glass ceramic is still the smallest, which indicates that the BTAS‐3 glass ceramic has the minimum dielectric mismatch.
