Abstract:
Statistical graphics has a long history and is an important mean to present study design, analysis results and conclusions of medical research. A survey of statistical graphs of recent publications in Chinese and English academic journals shows that scientific and technical specifications of statistical graphics are still lacking. Based on the requirements of statistical graphics in prestigious medical journals (NEJM, Lancet, JAMA and The BMJ), this paper summarizes the technical requirements, key points of design of statistical graphs and practical conditions of common statistical graphs to provide reference for clinical researchers.
