Figure 2

Distribution of absolute blood cell counts at baseline (n = 97) and after four weeks of therapy (n = 93). The violin plots show the distribution of blood cell counts and ratios of the entire cohort at baseline and after four weeks of therapy. The MCV (mean corpuscular volume) was reported in fl. The mean is marked as black line. Significantly different results regarding the distribution at baseline versus after four weeks were marked with asterisks (p < 0.001 = ***; by Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Descriptive statistics of all eleven blood parameters are listed in Supplementary Table 1.
