Figure 1 MPD diameter (mm) before and after therapy. The MPD diameter was 7.63 ± 2.98 mm before therapy and 4.01 ± 2.63 mm immediately after therapy (P < .001). The box represents the interquartile range, which contains 50% of the values. The whiskers are lines that extend from the box to the highest and lowest values, excluding outliers. The line across the box indicates the median.
