“an increasing trend”

In non‐survivors, no significant difference was observed between admission and overall follow‐up blood glucose levels, with some patients showing an increasing trend during the disease course ( Figure 4A ).

In general, the initial visual acuity remained almost stable or showed an increasing trend but still remained below the lowest limit of the age-standardized BCVA ( Supplementary Table S2 ); this progression exceeds the typical age-related vision improvement, potentially confirming the degenerative nature of RP2 -associated XLRP.

According to previous studies, the global prevalence of childhood hypertension shows an increasing trend [ 8 ].

Serum CAPN1 and CLEC2 levels demonstrated an increasing trend, whereas the diameters of the internal auditory artery, basilar artery, and anterior inferior cerebellar artery showed a decreasing trend with the severity of hearing loss ( Table 2 ).

As the TyG-BMI index increases, the risk of diabetes shows an increasing trend.

Flow cytometry analysis showed that LCA intervention led to an increasing trend in CD206 compared to the IL-4 alone group, although this difference did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.0610) ( Supplementary Figures S3D, E ).

These findings indicate that despite an increasing trend in RRI over time, intergroup differences remain inconsistent, and the overall predictive utility of RRI as a stand-alone biomarker for AKI is low.

scRNA-seq analysis and immunostaining demonstrated that Hif1a was predominantly expressed in epidermal cells, showing an increasing trend in expression levels over the cultivation period (D0, D2, D4, and D7) (Fig. 3b, c and Supplementary Fig. 3a , b).

In cases of pretreatment ProGRP ≥ 92 pg/ml (upper 75th percentile point), the responder group exhibited a decreasing trend in ProGRP levels at 6 weeks after treatment initiation and an increasing trend at the time of progression.

Peak stress shows a decreasing trend, while axial strain shows an increasing trend.

Both the standard deviation and variance exhibit an increasing trend with service life, indicating that as service life increases, the data dispersion becomes larger, confirming that service life has a significant impact on burner heat load.

At -10°C, -15°C and -20°C, the peak stress variation trend of frozen silty clay during the process of moisture content ranging from 21% to 31% is an increasing trend first and then a decreasing one.

An increasing trend in younger populations has also been observed, highlighting the growing global impact of GC 2 .

Globally, tree-ring δ 13 C chronologies have consistently shown an increasing trend in iWUE over recent decades ( Mathias and Thomas 2021 ).

As the scanning rate increasing, the capacitive contributions of Zn 3 (VO 4 ) 2 ‐0.5V ZVO and Zn 3 (VO 4 ) 2 demonstrate an increasing trend (Figure 5f ; Figures S15 and S16 ).

retains, for the moment, a preserved sensitivity profile to ampicillin, while current literature indicates an increasing trend in vancomycin resistance due to the evolution of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), which are frequently associated with prolonged hospitalization [ 44 , 45 ].

Over the past 15 years, British Columbia has seen an increasing trend in the number of involuntary psychiatric admissions.

In Malaysia, the National Surveillance of Antibiotic Resistance (NSAR) report indicated that both meropenem and imipenem showed an increasing trend in resistance until around 2014–2015, after which the resistance gradually declined up to 2018 [ 7 ].

Temporal trends in age-standardized rates were quantified using Joinpoint Regression Program (version 5.1.0.0; National Cancer Institute, USA), with annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) reported alongside 95% confidence intervals (CIs); an AAPC >0 indicates an increasing trend and <0 a decreasing trend.

Overall, there was an increasing trend in antimicrobial resistance with advancing age.

Although RVID showed an increasing trend under HH conditions and a decrease following drug administration, these changes did not reach statistical significance.

In Radal, during S2, PPO activity showed an increasing trend towards harvest ( Figure 7B ).

Most studies (45%, n = 10) were published between 2023 and 2024, indicating an increasing trend in this area.

Similarly, PE species demonstrated an increasing trend in PSC, while ether-linked PEs showed a decreased trend (Fig. 3 C).

Notably, a large-scale historical cohort study of Israeli diabetic patients ( n = 145,617) revealed through analysis with advanced statistical models that the association between metformin exposure levels and prostate cancer risk is not fixed but may exhibit dynamic characteristics: short-term exposure (in the first year) even showed an increasing trend in risk, whereas long-term exposure (2–7 years) exhibited a potential protective effect, with an overall inconsistent association [ 26 ].
