Fig 1 Distributions of median tenacity scores (left) and adhesion scores (right) by study group for all treated sites (n = 32) among experimental patients and all evaluated sites (n = 21) among control patients. Comparison of all sites between study groups favored patients treated with Adhibit for both outcomes (*p < 0.01 for both comparisons).
