We performed two-groups comparisons between the CNI and BELA groups using the Wilcoxon test for continuous covariates and the Fisher exact test for categorial covariates. For the temporal evolution, we considered the baseline differences in lymphocytes’ phenotypes using an ANCOVA model predicting the final M3 lymphocytes subpopulations, adjusting for the baseline subpopulations and for the treatment. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Analyses were performed using SPSS version 26 software and the R software version 1.0.12 for the temporal evolution analysis. Graphs were generated using GraphPad Prism version 8.0 software (Graphpad Software, San Diego, California).
