Fig. 1

Box and whisker plots of interleukin-6 (IL-6) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels at baseline and postoperative 1 month* (PO1MO). *Highest value for PO1MO (130.0 pg/ml) not plotted to facilitate visualization of the distributions. The height of the box represents the interquartile range (the distance between the 25th and 75th percentiles). The horizontal line in the box interior represents the group median. The vertical lines (whiskers) extending from the box indicate the group minimum value and maximum value within the “upper fence” (i.e., 1.5*IQR + Quartile 3). The diamond symbol represents the group mean, and the circle symbols represent outlying values that extend beyond the upper fence
