Additional file 3: of Serum levels of B-cell activating factor of the TNF family (BAFF) correlate with anti-Jo-1 autoantibodies levels and disease activity in patients with anti-Jo-1positive polymyositis and dermatomyositis
The scatter plots of source cross-sectional data for correlational analysis presented in Table 2. The values of levels of BAFF, anti-Jo-1 antibodies, and CRP in serum are plotted in columns against the serum levels of markers of muscle impairment (CK, myoglobin, and AST) and CRP in rows. Based on the non-normal distribution, the logarithmically transformed data are plotted. Statistics are: r = Spearman’s correlation coefficient; p = p value. (PDF 540 kb
