Correlations with clinical demographics and laboratory biochemistry. Correlation plots illustrate spearman correlations between clinical indices and specific plasma metabolites and lipids in Module I and Module II of the MEGENA global network. Only correlations with P < 0.05 were indicated with colored circles. Positive correlations were shown in red and negative correlations were shown in blue, with sizes of circles representing the strength of the significance p-value and intensity of color representing the magnitude of the correlation coefficients. (A) Correlation analyses between plasma indoles and PE-Os with clinical and biochemical measures amongst Omicron-infected patients (n = 66). (B) Correlation analyses between plasma L-histidine and top 30 differential TAGs with clinical and biochemical measures amongst first infection Omicron patients (n = 28). Differential TAGs were selected based on ascending P values from Student’s t-test between first infection patients (n = 28) and healthy controls (n = 20).
