Figure 3From: Synovial explant inflammatory mediator production corresponds to rheumatoid arthritis imaging hallmarks: a cross-sectional study Scatterplots depicting bone marrow oedema and bone erosion measured by the rheumatoid arthritis magnetic resonance imaging score vs. synovial explant release after 72 hours in culture. The statistically significant plots are shown. For the remaining plots, see Additional file 4. Bone marrow oedema (BME) rheumatoid arthritis magnetic resonance imaging scores (RAMRIS) are shown in (a) and (b). (a) Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (P = 0.01, approximate ρ = 0.42). (B) Interleukin 6 (P = 0.04, approximate ρ = 0.25). Bone erosion RAMRIS scores are shown in (c) and (d). (c) Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (P = 0.03, approximate ρ = 0.31). (d) Interleukin 6 (P = 0.03, approximate ρ = 0.35).Back to article page
