Examples
“Participants in public worship⟳ do develop⟳ a little more sympathy than do those who never darken the door of a church, but the effect is small (standardised regression coefficient of .06), and so there is no measurable flow-on effect onto payment ideals.”
“Not that the poet must have⟳ read⟳ assiduously back through the ages (though it will be none the worse for him if he has); but rather that there is a flow-on effect —a kind of apostolic succession.”
“When each of the doughnut strengths are connected in some way there is an inevitable flow-on effect. A flow-on effect is where other factors of the doughnut are also strengthened or enhanced in some way.”
