Figure 3

Pain intensity and associated plasma proteins in FM. The Score plot (left) shows a within-group separation in the FM group based on pain intensity (visual analogue scale, VAS). The plot shows that FM patients are grouped as having mild (5–44), moderate (45–74), and severe (75–100) pain intensity. The larger the triangle, the higher the pain intensity. The loading plot (right) shows 13 significant proteoforms (VIP > 1) associated with pain intensity. Nine proteoforms were associated with higher pain intensity in FM (VAS > 45). Numbers in the loading plot equals the spot numbers in Table 3 and supplementary Figure S1 and Table S1. The loading and score plots were created in SIMCA P + (version 15).
