Systemic CoroMarker levels after controlled short-term metal fume exposure. A-C Represents alternative depictions of the results. A Paired dot-and-line comparison of the CoroMarker changes in whole blood cells at 6 h after AluBronze welding fume exposure compared to baseline (n = 14). B Time course of the 2exp(−ddCT) values of CoroMarker for each participant at the time points. The depicted P-value, calculated on the dCT level using the Wilcoxon test, was taken from (A). C Box-and-Whisker Plot comparison of the log2(RQ) values of CoroMarker for each participant at the time points. To enable a symmetric depiction, the y-axis data are presented as antilog to base 2. The calculation of P-values as described in (B)
