A generic semilinear equation in a star-shaped ring is considered. Any solution bounded between its boundary values is shown to be decreasing along rays starting from the origin, provided that a structural condition is satisfied. A corresponding property for the product between the solution and a (positive) power of |x| is also investigated. Applications to the Emden-Fowler and the Liouville equation are developed.\u
