Box and whisker plot by groups of a) TILs (the dashed lines represent the threshold for the three group TILs classification: Low (< 10%), Intermediate (10–50%) and High (≥50%)), and b) T CD8+. The box contains data that fall between the first and third quartiles, the horizontal line indicates the median, the diamond indicates the mean, and the brackets delineate 1.5 times the interquartile range. Individual data are also shown, with points outside the brackets classified as outliers.
