Figures are an important component of clinical trial publications. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then authors and medical writers should ensure that figures effectively display clinical trial results. This session will provide an overview of common types of figures (flow diagrams, Kaplan-Meier plots, forest plots, repeated-measures plots, etc). Guidelines for style and content will be reviewed. The audience will be invited to critique “good” and “bad” examples. Ultimately, the goal of this session is to promote the use of well-designed, easily interpretable graphs in clinical trial publications.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to: - Identify when data should be presented in graphical (as opposed to textual or tabular) format. - Effectively convey information in graphical format. - Improve the graphical reporting of clinical trial results.
