Disease development and network structure of CHB, LC, and HCC. (IMAGE)
Caption
(a) Phase transition diagrams between CHB, LC, and HCC due to chronic HBV infection, including the situation of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and death from HCC. Each blue ball represents a patient with the corresponding liver disease. When the ball crosses the peak, the patient undergoes a phase transition to the next state. (b–d) Networks of the clinical test items of CHB, LC, and HCC are constructed. Different colors of the nodes represent their degrees, and the link thickness indicates the strength of the correlations between items. Red lines indicate a negative correlation between items. (e–g) Three radar charts illustrating the topology structure of the corresponding networks.
