3 keys to visually describe data in lay summaries for clinical trials

Trial result summaries include a variety of numerical data. Well-chosen and clearly designed visual aids can help enhance understanding of text.

A good way to present information could be to combine infographics with explanatory text.

Here are 3 keys to consider for a simple message and clear design.

1. Use clearly labelled captions
2. Present absolute numbers and also consider other ways, such as percentage rather than relative risks
3. Avoid showing several relationships in one visual, as they can easily be misinterpreted.
