Fig. 1 Box-whisker plot of procalcitonin levels during the pre- and post-operative course in patients following uncomplicated neurosurgery (days 0–7). Data shown are the median (squares) with 95% confidence interval of the median (shaded areas), 25th–75th percentile (open boxes), upper and lower fence (whiskers) and outlying values (circles).
