The range column specifies the user-defined ranges of point values used to rank syncytia based on size, with the “4-<5” range being interpreted as “at least 4 points in size but less than 5.” Tally indicates the number of syncytia that fell within the specified range. The cumulative column indicates the cumulative number of syncytia at each rank value. The C proportion (cumulative proportion) column gives the cumulative percentage of syncytia that fell into each rank value.
