Fig. 2.
The upper panel shows the result of a comparison between male and female patency rates. No significant difference was shown in the patency rate between both genders (male, solid line, n = 91; female, dotted line, n = 48) (p = 0.50). The result of comparison between DM and non-DM patients in the patency rate is indicated in the lower panel. The patency rate in patients with DM (solid line, n = 58) was significantly lower than patients without DM (dotted line, n = 81) (p = 0.01)
