Fig. 2From: Treatment of immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis: outcomes of glucocorticoid therapy combined with steroid-sparing agentsAssociation between serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) levels and volumes of the submandibular gland and parotid gland. a Mean volume (S.D. in dotted curves) of the submandibular gland (SMG), parotid gland (PG) and log2 serum IgG4 at each follow up time point exhibit similar variation. Three-dimensional scatter plot and regression function shows the correlation between SMG volume and log2 serum IgG4 and the parallel time of follow up (P < 0.0001 (b)), and correlation between PG volume and log2 serum IgG4, time of follow up, and their interaction term (P < 0.0001 (c))Back to article page
