About がみられる
Unlike 見える 'to be visible', which focuses on whether something can be seen or not, 見られる (the potential form of 見る) focuses on the viewer's physical ability to see something. Due to this が見られる is used to highlight things that require some form of 'effort' to see, like 'changes', 'trends', etc.
As a result of the 'effort' that is required, が見られる is often translated as 'for (A) to be evident', 'it can be observed that (A)', 'it can be seen that (A)', and other similar structures. To use 見られる, simply add it after the noun that you would like to show as being 'evident'.
As られる is both the potential and passive form of 見る, it may be interpreted either way. However, in the case of ラ抜き言葉 (ら removed verbs), only 可能 (possibility) may be expressed, not 受け身 (passivity).
