Fig 1: Plasma neurovascular molecules in breachers vs. controls. Data are displayed as scatter plots, showing the median and interquartile range (IQR; bars) for each biomarker in blast-exposed breachers (closed blue circles) and unexposed controls (closed red circles); occludin (OCLN) (A), zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) (B), aquaporin-4 (AQP4) (C), syndecan-1 (SD-1) (D). Mann–Whitney U-test significance breachers vs. controls: ns (not significant), * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001.
