Discovery Panel Report

Your Discovery Panel report visualizes statistical comparisons (one group compared to another). Select which comparison to view by using the “Select Comparison” drop-down menu. Here you will see the group comparisons defined by your study design.

This slider gives you the ability to adjust the limit of significance (p-value) shown in the visualization and classification tables. Sliding to the right will widen the range of significance, while sliding to left will narrow the range to only the most statistically significant metabolites for the chosen comparison.p-values for each comparison are derived from the Natural Log-Transformed Data using the corresponding statistical analysis (e.g., t-Test, ANOVA, etc.).

Use this drop-down to find or search for a particular metabolite from within the Discovery Panel. Once selected, the metabolite will be highlighted within the visualization.

Interacting with your data by hovering over each metabolite circle will bring up more detailed information about that metabolite within your chosen comparison, such as metabolite name, p-value, fold change, and main effect (if applicable). Hovering over a metabolite name within a table will temporarily highlight the metabolite’s location within the visualization.

Selecting a metabolite circle (or name within a table) will highlight it and allow you to track how it changes across multiple comparisons.

You can view tabular data by ascending or descending values by clicking on the table header by which you wish to sort. Sort order will be reflected on all tables with related values.
