Figure 2 Before-after plots of serum matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations in adult COVID-19 patients. Within each subplot, lines connect paired data points from the same patient, comparing protein concentrations at 2 time points: T1 (upon admission) and T2 (after symptom resolution and before discharge). Statistical significance assessed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test is denoted by brackets above the graphs, with corresponding P values.
