Fig. 1.

Kaplan–Meier curves of mice who underwent ileocecal resection (ICR) or sham operation with defined experimental endpoint at day 7 (a) or day 14 (b) (POD). Mice that survived until the expected observation period were defined as “survivor,” whereas mice that died unexpectedly or were killed because of reaching a humane endpoint were defined as “dead.” Similar early survival of ICR and sham controls (POD 7, p = 0.813). b At later time points (POD 14), survival curves of sham and ICR mice separated although the difference did not become significant during the observation period (p = 0.061)
