Fig. 3From: Preemptive intravenous iron therapy versus autologous whole blood therapy for early postoperative hemoglobin level in patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery: a prospective randomized noninferiority trialNoninferiority diagram of differences in hemoglobin levels between intravenous iron and autologous whole blood therapy groups immediately before surgery, and on postoperative days 1 and 2. A noninferiority margin (δ) indicates > Δ = − 1. Circles indicate mean hemoglobin differences and error bars indicate the 95% CIs of the differences between the two groupsBack to article page
