From: Identification of symptom domains in ulcerative colitis that occur frequently during flares and are responsive to changes in disease activity

Figure 3

Visual analogue scale ratings of symptoms present during a flare. A box plot of the VAS ratings of symptoms present during flares for the 28 symptom domains is presented. Each box bounds the region from the 25th to 75th percentile of responses. The vertical line in each box is the median. Lines connect the boxes to the next observation beyond the box and the dots represent remaining outliers. The vertical line at VAS = 50 signifies the a priori cut-off rating establishing symptoms that are frequent during flares. The symptoms presented in dark gray boxes are those that met all 3 criteria for symptom importance. Only the 13 highest rated symptoms had VAS ratings significantly greater than 50 for presence during flares.
