Identification of Microbial and Proteomic Biomarkers in Early Childhood Caries
Figure 5
Statgram for the Wilcoxon rank-sum score measuring the expression differences between proteomic profiles for caries-active and caries-free groups. (a): the Wilcoxon rank-sum score is plotted for each feature in the proteomic profile. Higher score values indicate a larger differential expression between caries-active and caries-free profiles. (b): a plot of the mean proteomic profile for the caries-active group. (c): a plot of the mean proteomic profile for the caries-free group. Two peaks in the mean profiles are marked with arrows. The difference in peak height at the arrows suggests differential expression and is confirmed by a higher value in the Wilcoxon score for those peaks.
