Fig 2 Microvascular phenotype in naive, sham-operated, and septic rats, measured at 6 h post-surgery. (a) Raw MFI scores in relation to stroke volume (R2=0.13; P=0.08; Spearman’s rank correlation test). (b) Microvascular flow heterogeneity index. (c) Perfused small-vessel density. (d) The De Backer score. Data displayed as (a) raw data, (b–d) [median (IQR)]. *Difference (P<0.05, the Kruskal–Wallis test) between naive and other treatment groups.
