Today's focus: the power of text elements in figures. We explore how category axis labels in bar graphs, when meticulously organized, reveal key experimental conditions at a glance. For a prime example, take Fig. 2B from our milestone article 1 by the Laureates of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023. Here, the labels use two key strategies: 1) precise keywords accurately represent each condition, and 2) a three-layered structure visually communicates relationships between conditions. The next time you encounter a graph, take a moment to appreciate the labels and how they efficiently convey information.
This is Part 9 of the reading mini-series "Let’s read a paper written by Nobel Prize Laureates, 2023."
