Each plot contains three components: the distribution of the phenotype (bell curve), the index score of each individual patient (circles) and the LOESS fit of the index value as a function of phenotype (regression curve). The p-value is derived from a linear analysis associating the index and clinical variable, and the n indicates the number of samples considered in the analysis. (A) Shows the inverse correlation between sertraline metabolic reserve and LDLc:HDLc ratio, and (B) shows the direct relationship between sertraline metabolic alteration and LDLc:HDLc ratio.
HDLc: High density lipoprotein cholesterol; LOESS: Locally weighted scatter plot smooth.
