![Distribution of Pro-Inflammatory cytokines across Pain and ODI categories. Each panel shows box-and-whisker plots of cytokine levels (TNF, IL-15, Leptin, IFN-γ) across three categories of pain (in blue; mild, moderate, severe) and three categories of disability (in red; mild, moderate, severe, per the Oswestry Disability Index [ODI]). The box boundaries represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, the horizontal line within each box is the median, and the whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values (excluding outliers). Numeric annotations (e.g., mean, median, min, max) are displayed above each group.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:65auvbag4vlf2jaaynol3n35/bafkreie3cz3vblcoiv34wzhmrwthdjz34rlcra7utyyjjq2bt7a7pwohei)
