From: Variability of human fasted venous plasma metabolomic profiles with tourniquet induced hemostasis
The coefficient variation (CV) (representing inter-individual variability) of each metabolite at four sample collection time points [T1, T2, T4: 1, 2 and 4 min, respectively, after tying the tourniquet and NT (no tourniquet with collection 5 min after removal of the tourniquet)] in 05 study participants. The CVs were calculated as the ratio of median absolute deviation about median to median of the unscaled abundance (peak intensities) of respective metabolites and plotted for all 353 metabolites, identified as differentially abundant between the 4 collection time points (a) and as box-whisker plot (b) for each of the 4 collection time points summarizing the same feature by more interpretable manner. The bold dark horizontal line of the box-whisker plot indicates the median CV, the top and bottom ends of the rectangle are indicative of 25th and 75th percentiles and the whiskers measure the 95% confidence interval.
