CACS according to the coronary atherosclerotic plaque classification. CACS was only increased in patients with calcium-containing plaques compared to the patients without plaque. This difference showed the clinical advantage of DKK1 over CACS in predicting the presence of coronary atherosclerotic plaques without calcium deposits. Shown are box plots representing median and interquartile range (equivalently the 25th and 75th percentiles). An outliers (open circles) are defined as a score that is between 1.5 and 3 box lengths away from the upper edge of the box. An extreme scores (asterisks) are defined as a score that is greater than 3 box lengths away from the upper edge of the box.
