Question

A team of scientists is testing a new drug, XYZ, on AIDS patients. The scientists monitor patients in the study for symptoms of 12 different diseases. What would be the best way for them to present these data? Explain why?

Answer 1

You can use individual bar charts to present the effect of XYZ on each disease.

On the X axis, you present the symptom of each disease, and on the Y axis you present the response/effect of the drug. Always remember to include a control, meaning people with the disease that were NOT treated by the drug. That way you understand what the effect of XYZ is on reducing symptoms.

Individual bar charts present the data neatly and show the effect of XYZ in a succinct manner.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions!
