From: Detection of bile acids in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid defines the inflammatory and microbial landscape of the lower airways in infants with cystic fibrosis

Fig. 1

Detection of bile acids in BALF associates with airway inflammation and clinical outcomes. A-H Box plots overlaid with density curves (violin plots, blue) representing the proportion of neutrophils (A) and the levels of IL8 (B), the proportion of the lungs with structural disease (C), the number of pulmonary exacerbations (D), the number of oral/inhaled antibiotic rounds (E), the average number of days (Log10 transformed) treated with oral/inhaled antibiotics (F), with respect to the detection of BAs in BALF. Data in C was obtained from CT scan images evaluated with the PRAGMA-CF scoring system [18]. In D-F, the number of events during the first year of life is represented. The data represented in F includes the total duration of any treatment started before the collection of the BALF sample. Individual data points (red) with jitter are depicted on the top of each box plot. Groups were compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test: *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001; ****, p < 0.0001; n.s., p > 0.05
