Volcano plot depicting differential expression of inflammatory proteins in EVD survivors vs. controls (combined close contacts and healthy controls). Scattered points represent individual proteins. The x-axis displays log2 fold changes (L2fc) in protein expression, with positive and negative values indicating upregulated and downregulated expressions, respectively. P-values are shown on -Log10 scale on the y-axis. Proteins determined to be significantly and differentially regulated are indicated in the uppermost segment (above the dashed line). Proteins differentially expressed at p < 0.050, but not reaching the adjusted threshold, are in the central segment, close to 0. Proteins not differentially expressed are scattered away from the central segment and below the dashed line.
