Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) in patients who failed and succeeded the spontaneous breathing trial. Boxplot of diaphragm thickening fraction: the central line represents the median value, the box boundaries represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the whiskers represent the lowest datum within 1.5 IQR of the lower quartile and the highest datum within 1.5 IQR of the upper quartile. DTF was 0.26 [0.22 to 0.30] and 0.56 [0.38 to 0.64], respectively (p < 0.0001).
