Figure 3. Box and Whisker Charts Showing the Fraction of Fibers in Each Pathway Over Time.

Fibrin networks were dissolved by administering plasmin at a final concentration of either 0.1 U/ml or 1.0 U/ml. The number of fibers in each category was recorded at specific time intervals, which represent time passed after the addition of plasmin. Each point on a plot represents a different network, and each time interval displays all networks. Results from 0.1 U/ml plasmin concentration include 22,151 fibers across 255 networks and results from 1.0 U/ml plasmin concentration include 13,199 fibers across 156 networks. Trials taken at 1.0 U/ml contain extra intervals below 1 minute to increase plot resolution for quickly lysing networks. Completion of lysis is represented by boxes plateauing in later intervals. Data points located outside the whiskers are outliers that deviate from the 1^st or 3^rd quartile by over 1.5 times the interquartile range.
