Univariable association between glycophorin C expressed as percentage glycophorin of total plaque surface with overall plaque phenotype. P-values are derived from pairwise comparisons using Wilcoxon rank sum test. Shown are the median values (central line), the upper and lower quartiles (box limits), and the 1.5 × interquartile range (whiskers). The percentage of glycophorin C (inverse rank transformed) was significantly higher in fibroatheromatous and atheromatous plaques in comparison to fibrous plaques. Additionally, the percentage of glycophorin C (inverse rank transformed) was significantly higher in Atheromatous plaques in comparison to fibroatheromatous plaques.
