  1. The first column shows missing sequences, and the second column shows the substitute. Values are expressed as medians, with interquartile ranges (25th–75th percentiles) in parentheses. Comparisons were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test when generated images were used to substitute missing sequences versus copied images. *indicates a significant improvement (p < 0.05).
