Plasma metabolomic profiles in main IIM subtypes. (A and B) The orthogonal partial least‐squares discriminate analysis (OPLS‐DA) score plots of plasma metabolomics data compared dermatomyositis (DM), anti‐synthetase syndrome (ASS), and immune‐mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) to normal control (NC) samples in positive (A) and negative (B) ion mode, respectively. (C) The UpSet plot analysis based on the selected important metabolites in plasma [variable importance in the projection (VIP) > 1, fold change (FC) > 1.2 or <0.83]. (D) KEGG pathway analysis of exclusively important metabolites in each main IIM subtype. (E) The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) plot based on the Top 30 metabolites in random forest machine model. (F) The most specific metabolite identified by the random forest machine model to classify plasma samples from NC, DM, ASS, and IMNM, respectively (P value compared with NC, *, <0.05; **, <0.01; ***, <0.001, ****, <0.0001).
