Fig 2 Box plots of pain (A) and worst pain scores at home (B) in fentanyl and bupivacaine treatment groups over time. The top and bottom of the box indicate the upper and lower quartiles, and the horizontal line in the box shows the median. Whiskers from the box indicate the most extreme value less than or equal to 1.5 interquartile ranges. Outliers (individual values >1.5 interquartile ranges) are shown with dots. (NRS, numerical rating scale; Postop, postoperatively; Preop, preoperatively.)
