From: The contribution of platelets to peripheral BDNF elevation in children with autism spectrum disorder
Plots of raw data. ASD autism spectrum disorder, TYP typical development, DD developmental delay. Panel (A) shows platelet count by group. Test statistics for pairwise comparisons were as follows: ASD:TYP, t(157) = 4.17, p < 0.0001; ASD:DD, t(157) = 0.06, p = 0.096; DD:TYP, t(157) = 2.75, p = 0.007. Panel (B) shows the correlation between platelet count and BDNF concentration (ng/mL) (r = 0.23). This correlation increased after excluding extreme values of platelet count and/or BDNF concentration (ng/mL). Panel (C) shows BDNF concentration (ng/mL) by group. See Table 2 for associated inferential statistics.
