“an overall trend”

This may help explain why some studies report weaker or inconsistent associations between molecular subtypes and survival outcomes, despite an overall trend favoring the classical versus basal-like dichotomy.

The validation loss exhibited minor fluctuations, with an overall trend consistent with the training loss, indicating no significant overfitting.

Although there is some discordance between studies, and heterogeneity with regards to cut-offs, adherence and duration of particular diets, disease types and clinical outcomes, there is an overall trend towards better outcomes associated with what is regarded as an healthy diet in humans in general by the WHO ( 110 ).

An overall trend was that as the number of intensivists who supported cardiac surgery being performed increased, they were less likely to be in favour of the family being able to refuse cardiac surgery ( Figure 1 ). 4.

Since the bisPNA can form complex I, II or III structures on DNA [ 50 ], and have 0, 1, 2 or 3 PEGs linked, we expected and indeed observed heterogeneity in the event signatures observed for the two PEG sizes used, still with an overall trend of an increase in the number of deeper and longer lasting events as the PEG size increased ( S4 Section ).

Interestingly, these three genes, apart from being downregulated during the middle stage (6 h) of treatment, showed an overall trend of upregulation in response to heat stress.

In contrast, the abundance and diversity of fungal communities varied less, but showed an overall trend of increasing and decreasing with the increase in fermentation time.

Deming correlation showed a regression equation (of the form y = ax + b) of Y = 0.8573*X − 0.05053 for 7 serotypes (slope (a) 95% CI from 0.5939 to 1.121 and Y-intercept (b) 95% CI from − 1.519 to 1.418) revealing an overall trend toward underestimation (Fig. 2 a).

This can be interpreted as an overall trend in the medical department, as 82.2% (60 students) and 56.6% (30 students) of the first-year medical students, as well as the second and third-year medical students, reported caffeine consumption as a reason for studying.

Samples 13 and 16 also show small decreases in fluorescence lifetime against an overall trend of a longer fluorescence lifetime for tumours.

Although individual trajectories vary, an overall trend emerges in which the magnitude of the age gap tends to increase in early decades, suggesting that the rate of molecular aging accelerates over initial stages of life.

The results of our study confirmed the effectiveness of this regimen, with all patients treated with this regimen surviving, and although some of the results did not differ statistically because of the small number of patients, there was an overall trend toward a lower rate of postoperative complications in the Lavage-Drainage group than in the drainage group.

Although the ratio of urinary Ca to Cre fluctuated, an overall trend was observed over the long term: it was relatively high when the NAb status was positive and rickets worsened.

Firstly, the results can reflect an overall trend as well as inner relationships of social development, environmental treatment, and economic growth subsystem.

Notably, habitat quality transfers were most intense during the 2015–2020 period, exhibiting an overall trend of habitat quality deterioration (Figure 8 ).

We observed an overall trend suggesting that worse social environment was associated with an increased risk of CMD outcomes in all but one meta-analysis (ie, social cohesion and social capital and hypertensive diseases).

It should be noted that the correspondence revealed in the present study, based on omics-derived candidate pathways and molecular associations, mainly reflects an overall trend rather than a strict one-to-one relationship.

Although the associations for score 1 and score 2 did not reach statistical significance, an overall trend toward worse CSS and OS with an increasing sociodemographic risk score was observed (Fig. 6 A and B).

Acceleration significantly impacted the values of white matter microstructure with an overall trend of increase in fractional anisotropy and decrease in orientation dispersion with increasing multiband acceleration.

However, an overall trend towards improved survival in patients with advanced/metastatic ASPS after introducing TKIs and ICIs supports continuing efforts to develop novel therapeutic options.

It is an overall trend, as well as for two out of the three factors included in the scale used to examine attitudes toward older adults.

Notably, we identified an overall trend towards a reduction in cell-type specific stress in both adjacent liver and CRLM tissue.

In addition, posttreatment dynamic scores had small significant associations with each WAI index, with the exception of the Bond subscale; this reflected an overall trend for posttreatment associations to more frequently be in the expected direction and slightly higher in magnitude than pretreatment associations.

As with the analysis of all USPTO and WIPO/PCT documents, C3, C5, mRCAs, C1, and fH were found to be the five most popular targets for US-granted patents, with an overall trend for yearly growth since the early 1980s (Fig. 21.3 , graphs).

Based on Figure 9 , it can be found that as the laser pulse frequency increases from 50 kHz to 150 kHz, the depth of the heat-affected zone in the cross-section of the ablated material gradually increases, and the maximum can reach 16.13 μm, but the width of the heat-affected zone shows an overall trend of decreasing and then increasing, and the minimum width of the heat-affected zone is about 33.05 μm.
