Heatmap visualizing the correlation coefficients of partial correlations of serum levels (left) and clinical endpoints (below), correcting for age and sex. The numbers represent correlation coefficients as results of the partial correlation and are visualized in shades of blue: the darker the blue, the stronger the correlation. BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; CRT: central retinal thickness; IL: interleukin; IVI: intravitreal injection; TNFα: tumor necrosis factor α
