Graph description: Figure 5. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) by prostate diagnosis

A scatter diagram.

The horizontal axis shows histology, a categorical variable with three groups: "Benign", "Prostatitis", and "Cancer". The vertical axis shows "PSA" and is numbered 0, 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000.

For the Benign group the points form a solid mass just above zero. For the Prostatitis group the points also form a solid mass just above zero. For the Cancer group the points are more spread out. There is also a solid mass just above zero, but a few other points stretch above this to PSA = 500 and there is one point at PSA = 1700.
