FIG. 1.

Shipped sample weight for 20 anatomic sites by year 2015–2017. Shipped tissue weights are recorded in the Research Tissue Procurement Information System for all procured tissues. The top and bottom 10 percentiles (%) were calculated so that the middle 80% could represent each combination of anatomic site and year without undue influence from less common outliers. The full range of weights for all samples from each anatomic site and year is shown with the corresponding average (thin black line and black tick mark) as well as the minimum, maximum, and average of the middle 80% (thick red bar and smaller red tick mark). A log scale is used to simultaneously display smaller weight details, whereas showing the larger weights for context. N, number of samples.
