Figure 1 Comparisons of cluster eigenvectors, a vector indicating the overall direction and magnitude of the genes in (A) gene cluster A and (B) gene cluster B, between different resuscitation fluids. FFP, fresh frozen plasma; HEX, hetastarch; NS, normal saline.

Figure 2 Graphical depiction of associations between gene eigenvectors for expression (A) clusters A and (B) cluster B, with clinical outcomes of brain swelling and brain lesion size.

Figure 3 Plot of gene significance (defined as the absolute value of the correlation between the gene expression and presence or absence of fresh frozen plasma [FFP] resuscitation) vs module membership (defined as the absolute correlation between gene expression and the cluster eigenvector) in (A) cluster A and (B) cluster B. The observed high degree of correlation indicates that central genes in the identified module module also were highly associated with FFP resuscitation.
