Temporal evolution of the study participants' inflammatory markers. These plots show the changes in the serial measurements of inflammatory laboratory parameters performed over a period of 14 days. Colored lines connect the mean value and black vertical lines indicate the confidence intervals of each measurement. Ten patients of the MPP group and another ten of the placebo group were treated with tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks the IL-6 receptor and may cause a reactive increase in IL-6 plasma levels, within a median time of one day. MPP, methylprednisolone pulses; IL-6, interleukin-6; CRP, C-reactive protein.
