2 Figure 1 Plasma IL-6 concentrations of terminally ill cancer patients with and without clinical fatigue. Horizontal bars indicate the mean values of IL-6 in cancer patients with and without clinical fatigue. A superimposed scattered image indicates logarithmic-transformed IL-6 in cancer patients with and without clinical fatigue.

3 Figure 2 Plasma IL-6 concentrations and each of the subscale scores of the CFS. Solid and open circles indicate the values of patients with and without clinical fatigue, respectively. Superimposed scatter plots display IL-6 levels on logarithmic scales. Lines in the superimposed graphs indicate regression lines between logarithmically transformed IL-6 levels and each of the subscale scores.
