Fig. 3: Stripcharts representing individual array values for all proteins selected as top candidates in the 1st cohort.

Each protein is measured by four replicate spots per array and is represented by their mean. The y-axis illustrates the log2 ratio of the individual samples and a reference sample while the x-axis is divided based on clinical course of disease of the patient (CS and MM) as well as phase of infection. 53 plasma samples from 16 COVID-19 patients were analyzed and divided into an acute (A) an intermediate (M) and a late stage (L), for which we included 18, 20 and 16 samples, respectively. Acute CS and MM samples are highlighted in red and blue respectively. Diamonds indicate arithmetic sample group means. Whiskers indicate one standard deviation, calculated based on arithmetic means. Empty circles indicate the group coefficients fitted by the linear model with additional factors sex, age and comorbidities, which were used for logFC and p value calculation.
