Sparklines, embedded contextual information graphics, can help reduce diagnostic errors by highlighting trends in data, simplifying cognitive tasks and providing context for decision making. Examples applied to heparin induced thrombocytopenia, cardiac catheterization and pediatric viral illness illustrate the concept. Sparklines are ideal in situations where the limited textual data representations obfuscate interpretation, the graphic aids interpretation of the data, or the graphic guides decision making.
迷你图作为嵌入式上下文信息图形，通过突出数据趋势、简化认知任务并为决策提供背景信息，有助于减少诊断错误。应用于肝素诱导的血小板减少症、心导管插入术和儿童病毒性疾病的示例说明了这一概念。在有限的文本数据表示会混淆解释、图形有助于数据解释或图形指导决策的情况下，迷你图是理想之选。
