Table 1 Correlation between animals survival time versus number of infected cells

From: Paradoxical sleep deprivation impairs mouse survival after infection with malaria parasites

Pearson’s coefficient (parasitized cells number on 8th day vs survival time of the mice)

All groups

r = -0.59

p = 0.00006

Control

r = -0.73

p = 0.019

PSD

r = -0.65

p = 0.04

24 h RB

r = -0.80

p = 0.005

48 h RB

r = -0.70

p = 0.023

  1. There are negative correlations (Pearson coefficient) between all groups (CT: r = −0.73, PSD 24 h: p = −0.65, RB 24 h: r = −0.80 and, RB 48 h: r = −0.70, respectively) as well as considering all animals independent the experimental group (r = − 0.59, p = 0.00006).
