Analysis of the serum proteomes on day 3 of survivors and non-survivors. A With the help of PLS-DA the groups of survivors and non-survivors can be differentiated on the graph visually (orange vs. green group). Individual patients are presented as dots in dark green or dark orange within the group ‘areas’ (light green and orange). Therefore, individual patients from the survivor (green) or non-survivor (orange) group are located in different areas on the PLS-DA plot. B Volcano plot illustrating differential protein expression in VA-ECMO patients on day 3, non-survivors vs. survivors. C Box plots of strongly regulated proteins in non-survivors vs. survivors on day 3 (p < 0.05)
