The purpose of a scientific paper is to communicate results and within the paper this applies especially to the presentation of data. It is the universal practice in medical journals to present statistical results using tables. Good tables are an integral part of the manuscript. To help researchers communicate their results, we present practical guidance for reporting statistical results using tables.
Five key points are presented for reporting statistical results using tables: (1) early reflection and choice about the results to present, (2) presentation of tables and definition of rows and columns, (3) filling the cells, (4) title, caption, footnotes, and quality, (5) final checklist.
This guidance is a practical tool to improve the reporting of statistical results using tables when presenting ICU data in future research.
科学论文的目的是交流研究结果,在论文中,这尤其适用于数据的呈现。在医学期刊中,使用表格呈现统计结果是普遍做法。好的表格是手稿的一个组成部分。为了帮助研究人员传达他们的研究结果,我们提出了使用表格报告统计结果的实用指南。
提出了使用表格报告统计结果的五个要点:(1)及早思考和选择要呈现的结果,(2)表格的呈现和行列的定义,(3)填充单元格,(4)标题、说明、脚注和质量,(5)最终检查表。
本指南是在未来的研究中呈现 ICU 数据时,使用表格报告统计结果的实用工具,可以提高报告的质量。
