3 Figure 2 Each plot presents restricted cubic spline functions for the unadjusted relationship between surgeon volume and probability of in-hospital death. Separate plots are presented for patients undergoing OPCAB and conventional CABG in the United States for the years 2004, 2006, and The estimated function is presented by the solid line, with dashed lines depicting the 95% confidence intervals of the functions.
