For each of the IL1RN and IL-6 genotypes patients the median (central line) is shown. Flanking this is a dark shaded box, representing the 95% confidence interval of the median. This gives an indication of the confidence in the estimate of the median. The white boxes represent the inter-quartile range (from 25^th percentile to the 75^th percentile), giving an indication of the variability in WBC among patients. (a) WBC (cells/mm³) OPUS TIMI-16 ACS patients (b) WBC (10⁹/L) EXCITE stable angina and (c) WBC (10⁹/L) EXCITE ACS patient groups.
