Heatmap resulting from the t- or Wald statistics (β/SE) of the associations between clinical parameters and glycans from PD effluent at baseline. The ranking of the categorical variables is matching the listing order of their categories, e.g. for Sex, female = 0, male = 1; for the binary variables, i.e. Diabetes, Statins, Smoking, Betablocker, and Erythropoietin the coding was no = 0 and yes = 1. Dots refer to p < 0.05, while crosses represent p-values below the significance threshold corrected for multiple testing by the Bonferroni method (α = 0.00017). Colour codes indicate t- or Wald statistics as depicted in the colour scale to the right of the heat map. Hierarchical clustering (Euclidian distance, complete linkage) was applied for the sorting of the heatmap variables.
