Figure Lengend Snippet: Accuracy of CSF diagnostic markers for PCNSL. Boxplots depicted the distribution of CSF IL-10 ( A ), CXCL13 ( B ), IL-2RA ( C ), FasL ( D ), TIM-3 ( E ), and galectin-9 ( F ) levels in PCNSL, neuroimmunological diseases, other brain tumors, and iNPH patients. Median values were represented by the horizontal bar, IQR by boxes, 1.5 × IQR by whiskers, and individual values by dots. IL-10 and IL-2RA are shown on a logarithmic scale due to the highly skewed distribution with a large proportion of zero or low values and a small number of extremely high values. The y -axis is displayed on a logarithmic scale after log10 transformation of IL-10 and IL-2RA concentrations with the addition of a constant of 1, while tick labels indicate the original values in pg/mL. **, adjusted p < 0.01. ***, adjusted p < 0.001. n.s., not significant. Holm-adjusted Dunn’s tests were used to compare PCNSL with the other groups. G–I ROC curves showed the diagnostic performance of CSF IL-10, CXCL13, IL-2RA, FasL, TIM-3, and galectin-9 for distinguishing PCNSL from different disease groups. The corresponding AUC values were shown. G PCNSL versus all other diseases. H PCNSL versus neuroimmunological diseases. (I) PCNSL versus other brain tumors. AUC values were shown in the legends of each panel AUC, area under the curve; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; CXCL13, C–X–C motif chemokine ligand 13; FasL, Fas ligand; IL-2RA, interleukin-2 receptor chain alpha; IL-10, interleukin-10; iNPH, idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus; IQR, interquartile range; PCNSL, primary central nervous system lymphoma; ROC, Receiver operating characteristic; TIM-3, T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3
