The effect of completed education reached statistical significance for two conditions, but did not show a consistent direction of effect (the magnitude of the odds ratios was very different across multiple items).
The World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research states this to mean that the current evidence is too limited to permit a probable or convincing causal judgement, but that the evidence shows a generally consistent direction of effect [ 6].
The consistent direction of allelic effects suggests a history of directional selection on the posterior lobe.
MiRNAs were ranked on the basis of criteria as: (1) number of the studies that consistently reported the miRNA as differentially expressed, (2) the consistent direction of change of differentially expressed microRNA, and (3) total number of samples for comparison in agreement.

As a result, the euro area's GDP per head has in fact grown at the same pace as America's.Discounting the obvious explanation that American statisticians are born optimists, it is unclear what lies behind the consistent direction of these revisions.
Family history was not associated with younger age at onset for any disorder.Associations between family history of a disorder and clinical features of that disorder in probands showed consistent direction of effects across depression, anxiety disorder, alcohol dependence, and drug dependence.
When samples are shuffled and consistent direction of change is lost, existing memories do not update.
Because we required evidence of replication with consistent direction of effect in a second dataset, we did not require a stringent multiple testing correction.
In all cases, the consistent direction of perceptual drift underscores the brain's apparent tendency to consider some stimuli to be special reference points, or norms.
