Pairwise comparisons of association study results. Absolute Pearson correlation coefficients (Pearson r) of bacon-adjusted regression coefficients of gene-wise linear models (limma/voom) for outcome variables in alternative models per comparison and cohort. Comparisons are ordered by performance (AUC) of metabolomic predictors for binary outcome measures. Mean values across four cohorts (two cohorts for hsCRP) are plotted as horizontal bars (gray)
