Fig. 1: Pairwise correlation graph between systemic cytokine profiles and inflammatory markers.

Nodes represent systemic cytokine profiles or inflammatory markers, and lines represent their pairwise correlations. Only significant (P < 0.05) correlations are shown. Line thickness indicates the strength of Spearman’s correlation. Green represents positive correlations, and red represents negative correlations.
