Figure 4.
Box plots of two high-resolution manometry (HRM) parameters assessed, the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) and the integrated residual pressure (IRP) (both in mm Hg). There were no differences among the five groups. The box plots represent minimum and maximum values (vertical lines), first and third quartiles (boxes) and median values (horizontal line). Asterisks represent outlier values. DES, diffuse oesophageal spasm; EGJOO, oesophagogastric junction outflow obstruction; IEM, ineffective oesophageal motility.
