Figure 1: Treated cords at baseline, by finger

The figure displays the location of the Dupuytren cords that were chosen for treatment with Xiapex in this study, and the injection sites. The frequency of the mentioned points was transferred to brush thicknesses. For example, if a given joint was reported 50 times, this location was assigned a diameter of 50 pixels. This results in dots of the different sized in the figures below. The lines were produced in an analogue manner: it was counted how often a connection between two points was mentioned and accordingly assigned to a specific line thickness. Transparency of lines in the graphics program was set to 50% so that overlaps were visible.
