From: Association between plasma concentrations of linoleic acid-derived oxylipins and the perceived pain scores in an exploratory study in women with chronic neck pain

Panel a 9-HODE concentrations for the pain group samples plotted against the NRSday scores. Panels b and c non-parametric correlations between the fifteen lipids studied and the NRSday scores for B, NP and C, CWP participants. The y-axes show the values and 95 % confidence limits for the lipids colour-coded on the basis of their group: orange for linoleic acid-derived oxylipins, red for endocannabinoids, blue for related NAEs and yellow for arachidonic acid-derived oxylipins. The x-axes are the corresponding P values for the correlation coefficients, with the vertical lines showing cut-offs at P = 0.0033 (the Benjamini and Hochberg [24] 5 % false discovery rate limit for the dataset) and at P = 0.05. Note that in Panel c, the value for 8,9- DiHETrE (rho 0.14, P = 0.41) is hidden behind another data point
