Figure 1

Comparison of age-adjusted translocated chromosome (Tr) frequency (per 100 cells) among three groups: thyroid cancer, thyroid-related disease (non-thyroid cancer), and controls. Significant difference was found between the thyroid cancer and thyroid-related disease groups (p = 0.0124) and between the thyroid cancer and control groups (p = 0.0037), but not between the thyroid-related disease and control groups (p = 0.7035). The top of the box indicates the position of 75% and the bottom the 25% of the inter-quartile range, the horizontal line inside the box indicates the median value, and the diamond indicates the mean value. The circle above is an outlier, the line above the vertical line is the largest value indicating [the top of the box + inter-quartile range × 1.5], and the line below the vertical line is the smallest value indicating [the bottom of the box + inter-quartile range × 1.5].
