The correlations of TILs with histological grade, LVI, Miller-Payne grade and Ki-67 index in TNBCs. Y axis represented the scores of TILs; X axis represented histological grade (2 or 3), LVI (−/+), Miller-Payne grade (1–5) or Ki-67 index (%). a and b: Both sTILs and iTILs were positively associated with histological grade (sTILs: P = 0.004; iTILs: P = 0.03). c: ITILs were positively correlated with negative lymphovascular invasion (P = 0.03). Dots corresponded to the scores of TILs and whiskers corresponded to its Standard Error. Red line corresponded to the mean scores of TILs. d: STILs was positively correlated with Miller-Payne grade (r = 0.263, P = 0.001). e and f: STILs and iTILs scores were positively associated with Ki-67 index (sTILs: r = 0.236, P = 0.002; iTILs: r = 0.346, P = 0.001). LVI: lymphovascular invasion
