ntroduction Presentation of results is as important as the analysis itself. The reader of a study must be able to understand the reason for the study, the study design, the analysis, the results, and the significance of the results. Not only do readers want to learn what happened in a study, but they also want to be able to reproduce the analysis or even replicate the study in the same or a similar context. Thus, design procedures and data collection procedures need to be reported at a level detail that allows the study to be replicated. Analysis procedures need to be described in enough detail that a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data would be able to verify the reported results and test the stated hypotheses
We will not repeat all the preceding context, design, analysis and data collection guidelines restating them as presentation guidelines, rather we restrict ourselves to issues that are directly related to presentation and have not been covered previously.
We should also keep in mind that a particular study may be combined with others in a meta-analysis. Consequently, authors should include information that would support such analysis in the future.
