For the essential genes in the LC set the non-parametric correlation is weakly significant ( r = −0.12; p < 0.01) but sensitive to control for protein abundance.

highly significantno p-value reported

While, for example, the two are supposed to be measuring the same attribute (i.e., the identity and number of different proteins a given protein interacts with), the correlation between the two sets as regards number of interactants of each protein, although naturally highly significant, is relatively modest (Spearman rank correlation r = 0.37).
