Cytokine networks in the patients with FMF and sepsis. Hierarchical clustering with a Spearman’s rank correlation heatmap of serum cytokine levels among patients with A sepsis and B FMF. Serum circular network layouts in C sepsis and D FMF. Significant correlations (p < 0.0033) were represented by connecting edges to underscore strong positive (ρ > 0.50; thick black line), moderate positive (0.3 < ρ < 0.5; thin black line). E Cytokines ranked by their relative importance for discriminating FMF from sepsis. The horizontal axis represents the average decrease in classification accuracy. FMF, familial Mediterranean fever
