Fig. 5From: Evaluation of continuous constant current and continuous pulsed current in sweat induction for cystic fibrosis diagnosisDifference between sweat weight achieved from continuous pulsed current (sinusoidal versus triangular) in relation to continuous constant current showed a higher amount of sweat weight in sinusoidal pulsed current. p-value = 0.02. (Sinusoidal pulsed current) N = 49; 34.63 ± 54.02; 28 (− 58 to 231); 19.12 to 50.15; (Triangular pulsed current) N = 180; − 0.96 ± 85.99; 1 (− 364 to 434); − 13.6 to 11.69. Data are presented in legend as: number of individuals; mean ± standard deviation; median (minimum to maximum); confidence interval for the mean value; and in figure as median (black line) and 95% confidence interval (green line). Statistical analysis conducted through Mann-Whitney U test of independent samples. Alpha = 0.05. The sweat weight is shown as milligramsBack to article page
