Figure Lengend Snippet: IgG and IgA antibody levels against individual pathogens and their IgA/IgG antibody ratio were analyzed for possible correlation with RF levels in 54 patients with RRP (a) and 101 patients with non-RRP (b) by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient analysis. NOTE: Pink: significant correlation at p<0.05, Blue: trending toward correlation at 0.05≤p<0.15, No color: no correlation.

Article Snippet: Accordingly, the statistical relationships between antibody levels, serological marker levels and disease activity were analyzed by Spearman’s non-parametric rank correlation analysis, and expressed as Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient “ρ” (JMP10 SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: RF levels were compared with IgG and IgA index values, severity of arthritis, disease marker levels, serum cytokine levels, and hematological values in 54 patients with RRP and 101 patients with non-RRP, using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient analysis. NOTE: Plot: Visual display for positive and negative “ρ” value of Spearmen correlation coefficient. Cells highlighted with yellow indicate significant correlation at p<0.05.
