Fig. 1

The p values of the follow-up and case-control studies of the ALL population. Results of the analysis including data of ALL patients are presented in this Figure. The p values are illustrated in a polar coordinate system, where the circular grids represent the negative logarithm of p values (axis on the left can be projected to grids). Intermittent line indicates border at p = 0.01 (− lg p = 2). Columns show the results of the follow-up analysis of FS, darker shades of blue mean stronger significance. The lowest p values were chosen from every follow-up category and from every model, if the number of cases was above 5. (The time of diagnosis was excluded.) Results of the case-control study are shown with red dots, sizes proportional with stronger significance. Most significant results of this plot were studied further on the total cohort including osteosarcoma patients as well
