Fig. 1 Box plot of OPG concentrations in clinical groups excluding outliers. The box represents the 25th and 75th percentile; the middle line represents the median and the peripheral lines extend to the outer fences which are 1.5 times the interquartile range below and above the 25th and 75th percentile, respectively.
