Serum CHI3L1 detection in clinical samples. (a) Comparison of CHI3L1 levels among the three groups (). (b) Comparison of CHI3L1 levels among the different stages of liver fibrosis. (c) The ROC curve for the ability of CHI3L1 to diagnose in HBV-related HCC. The number by the dot in the graphs is the sample number. CHI3L1: chitinase-3-like protein 1; CHB: chronic hepatitis B; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; ROC curve: receiver operating characteristic curve; AUC: the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
