Body weight and surgical outcomes. A Animal weights at the time of surgery across 12 different experiments. The average animal weight across all experiments is indicated by the black-dashed line. Surgical body weight records were not available for Experiment G. B Animal weight change, calculated by subtracting the animal weight at study endpoints from the surgery weight, was found to decrease initially then increase linearly after 3 days post-operatively (P < 0.001). C Variation in defect weights across experiments. The average defect weight across all experiments is indicated by the black dashed line. Defect weights records were not available for experiment E or G. D Variation in defect weights by surgeon. The average defect weight across all experiments is indicated by the black dashed line. All panels represent individual data points as open circles. Bar graphs represent the group mean ± standard error. No difference between experimental groups (P > 0.05) was observed for groups marked with the same lower case letter annotation
