See the technical phrasing

The association between dietary glycemic index and heart failure is stronger in the first half of follow-up (RR = 1.33, 95% CI: 0.88–2.02, p for trend = 0.09) compared to the second half (RR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.72–1.40, p for trend = 0.96), suggesting a possible transient or time-dependent relationship that may reflect early metabolic effects or surveillance bias.
