Figure 1.. Median Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (BP) by Subgroup
Boxes show the median as the line across the middle and the 25th and 75th percentiles as ends. Lines represent the 25th percentiles – 1.5 × (75th – 25th percentile) and the 75th percentile +1.5 × (75th – 25th percentiles). Dots represent observations that were outliers.
