Protein correlation networks of the LASSO-identified blood and BAL protein signature present in progressors (a) and non-progressors (b) suggest that non-progressors have a higher degree of control over their proteomic networks than progressors. A lineconnecting two proteins indicates the presence of a significant (p < 0.05) correlation, as calculated by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Brighter and thicker lines indicate stronger, more significant correlations, respectively. The value of the correlation coefficient for both networks is displayed in the color bar scale on the right, with red indicating a positive relationship and blue a negative relationship.
