From: DNA methylation mediates the association between breastfeeding and early-life growth trajectories
Distribution of mediation effects of DNA methylation on the association between different durations (3,4 and 5 months vs. no breastfeeding) of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and BMI in ALSPAC girls (a) and boys (b) and at different ages from birth to 17 years. Each box represents the inter-quartile range (IQR) of mediation effects over all CpG sites significant at P < 0.0001 (list given in Additional file 1: Table S1 for girls and Additional file 1: Table S2 for boys). The whiskers correspond to ± 1.5 IQR and the points outside this range are outliers
