(A) Principal component analysis biplot of serum cytokine levels in HCs (n=50) and Modic change (MC) type 1 (n=37) and MC type 2 (n=46) showing the healthy controls' individual scores as orange circles, and patients’ individual scores as blue triangles in the first principal component (PC1) and second principal component (PC2), as well as cytokine loadings as black arrows. (B) The two first PCs are plotted with the proportion of variance explained by each component indicated next to the axis label.
