Differential expression of plasma cytokines in sepsis patients and their clinical implications

Figure 6 Bubble plot of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways associated with differentially expressed cytokines. The x-axis represents the ratio of differential genes in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways to the total number of differentially expressed genes (GeneRatio). A higher ratio indicates a greater degree of protein enrichment. The y-axis represents the corresponding KEGG pathway names, with bubble size indicating the number of genes annotated to the KEGG pathway. Larger bubbles represent a greater number of enriched proteins. The color gradient from blue to red indicates decreasing P values, signifying greater significance.
