Volcano plot of 22 miRNAs significantly dysregulated in LAA tissues. The volcano plot shows the distribution of these miRNAs according to their P-value versus fold change. Those with the highest fold change in their expression (|Log₂ ^{(fold change)}| ≥ 1.5) have been labeled in red. Although the fold change of miR-26a-5p (|log₂ ^{(fold change)}| = 1.17) does not meet the criteria, its P-value is <0.01 (i.e., –Log₁₀ ^(P-value) > 2), and therefore is also labeled red.
