Fig. 1.

Combined dot and box plots of laboratory data in AIS (ctrl) and AIS + D (d) groups. Undetectable levels of IL-6 (< 5 pg/mL) were assigned a value of 0 but a dotted line at is drawn in Fig. 1A to depict this laboratory detection level. Boxplot depicts median ± 1 IQR, with whiskers drawn to an additional 1.5 IQR from box limits (or to observed maximum/minimum values if these are closer). * signifies statistical difference between AIS and AIS + D groups at p < 0.05
