3 Fig 2 Box-and-whisker plot of the volume of perioperative mediastinal- and chest-tube drainage in the placebo and abciximab groups. The box spans the interquartile range (25th to 75th percentiles), whereas the line within the box denotes the median. Whiskers extend from the 10th to the 90th percentiles. The diamond symbol represents the mean. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )
