Tables and Graphs
Presentation
Tables and graphs must stand alone (Can a member of your department unfamiliar with the study pick up your graph and explain its meaning to you?)
The text should highlight the importance or meaning of the figures and tables, not repeat the data contained within them.
Tables and figures both carry a necessary part of the message- use both
Do the numbers add up?
Are baseline values for the groups similar?
Is the degree of variability reported (and whether it is an SD or SEM identified)?
Are tables and graphs clearly labeled and appropriately scaled?
Are the results of statistical analysis presented?
Can one determine what statistical test produced the result?
