Fig. 1: Cytokine profiles in CR-TRS patients with and without MetS.

a Comparison of IL-2 between CR-TRS patients with MetS, without MetS, and HCs. b Comparison of IL-6 between CR-TRS patients with MetS, without MetS, and HCs. c Comparison of TNF-α between CR-TRS patients with MetS, without MetS, and HCs. Note: Hashtag indicates significance between HCs and CR-TRS patients. ### p < 0.001. Asterisk indicates significance between MetS and non-MetS groups. * p < 0.05. d Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-α for predicting CR-TRS patients with and without MetS.
