Abstract
<p>A Tukey box-and-whisker plot together with the raw data points to the left of each box, shows fiber size distribution in the LVW of 15 patients with FA (FA1-FA15, corresponding to <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0116396#pone.0116396.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>) and 10 normal controls (N1-N10). FA cases are shown in red, normal controls in blue. In the box plot, the central rectangle spans the first quartile to the third quartile (the interquartile range), and the horizontal line within the rectangle marks the median. The diamond symbol indicates the mean. The "whiskers" above and below the box are drawn to the furthest point within 1.5 x IQR from the box (the non-outlier range). The range of fiber sizes in FA is much larger than in normal controls. All medians and means in FA are higher than in normal controls. See text for statistical analysis of the data.</p
