Fig. 2From: Comprehensive analysis of autophagy-related gene expression profiles identified five gene biomarkers associated with immune infiltration and advanced plaques in carotid atherosclerosisIdentification of key ATGs. (A) The PPI networks. (B) Scatter plot. Scatter plot of the overlapping ATGs for the top 10 ATGs selected based on the 5 ranking methods (MNC, MCC, DMNC, ClusteringCoefficient, and BottleNeck).
