Fig 1 Recovery of diaphragm function over follow-up period. Recovery occurred over an interval between the prior study to demonstrate dysfunction and the last study demonstrating resolution of paresis. The curve in red estimates recovery as an event occurring at the beginning of the interval (time of prior study showing dysfunction), the blue curve estimates recovery as an event occurring at the time of the study demonstrating function, and the green as a mid-point estimate between the 2. (x axis = time in months after surgery; y axis = proportion of patients with ongoing diaphragm dysfunction.)
