From: Circulating microRNA-214 and -126 as potential biomarkers for canine neoplastic disease
Correlation analysis between the circulating miR-214, -126 levels, and various clinical parameters. Circulating miR-214 and -126 levels did not show a strong correlation with the other clinical parameters. (a) Multivariate correlation analysis using scatter plots for circulating miR-214, -126 levels, age, weight, Hct., Plat., Fibn., PT, APTT, BUN, Cre., ALT, AST, ALP, and CRP. Blue circles indicate trends of scatter points. Areas given in red indicate that the 2 parameters show a significant correlation (P < 0.05, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient). (b) Map for correlation between the parameters. The correlations between parameters connected to each other with bands are indicated. R-values are displayed in the centre between 2 parameters, and band thickness represents the degree of correlation. R-values only with statistical significance are illustrated on the map. (c) Linear regression analysis for platelet counts and circulating miR-126 levels. P-value was calculated based on the null hypothesis that the slope of the regression curve is 0.
