Figure 3 Secondary end points. (A) Monthly responder rates for relief of overall IBS symptoms. (B) Monthly responder rates for relief of abdominal pain/discomfort. P values were calculated by using the χ2 test. (C) Weekly changes in BSFS scores. Line graph: means ± SD. *P < .01, **P < .001 compared with placebo.

Supplementary Figure 1 Weekly responder rate of improvement in stool consistency. Line graph: responder rate (%). Error bar: 95% CI. Thin line: placebo group (n = 148). Thick black line: ramosetron group (n = 147). *P < .01, **P < .001, compared with the placebo. P values were calculated by using the χ2 test.

Supplementary Figure 2 Monthly responder rate of improvement in abnormal bowel habits. Column height: responder rate (%). Error bar: 95% CI. Open column: placebo group (n = 148). Black column: ramosetron group (n = 147). P values were calculated by using the χ2 test.

Supplementary Figure 3 Changes in all subscale scores of the Japanese version of IBS-QOL from baseline to week 4. Column height: the values adjusted by using the baseline value as a covariate. Error bar: 95% CI. Open column: placebo group (n = 148). Black column: ramosetron group (n = 147). *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001, compared with the placebo. P values were calculated by using analysis of covariance, with the treatment groups as a factor and baseline score as a covariate.
