The case-control crossover study<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> reported in <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Annals of Surgery<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> led to widespread adoption of graphical abstracts in medical journals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In 2020, a triple crossover study<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> confirmed that tweets containing visual abstracts in nephrology research received twice as many views as citation-only tweets. Moreover, the Altmetric scores were higher in posts shared with visual abstracts. A similar result was observed by a study<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> related to sport science, thereby confirming the pattern across specialties.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Although the use of visual abstracts does increase views, there is no concrete proof of it increasing citations. Moreover, their performance is highly dependent on the domain. So, where exactly are graphical abstracts helpful in the medical field?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Visual abstracts for social engagement:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> There is enough evidence to support that visual abstracts help in disseminating research on social media through improved impressions, views, and retweets, leading to better click-through rates. In other words, your research can easily reach clinicians, trainees, and the public.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Visual abstracts for quick reference:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Doctors and medical professionals are busy people, and the use of visual abstracts in the journal\u2019s table of contents serves as a quick help in deciding which research articles to read.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Serves as a multi-purpose aid:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Visual abstracts can also be reused (or redesigned) for conference presentations or poster presentations. Some educators even use them for teaching purposes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Visual abstracts for simplifying concepts:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Carefully and accurately designed graphical abstracts easily translate medical concepts to policymakers and other non-specialists associated with the field.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These benefits sound wonderful! But know that designing graphical abstracts in medical publishing is not to be taken lightly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"best-practices-for-designing-medicine-related-visuals\" style=\"padding-top: 80px; margin-top: -80px;\">Best Practices for Designing Medicine-Related Visuals<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Graphical abstracts, when not done right, can be misleading and result in the dissemination of misinformation. A content analysis of 140 medical graphical abstracts published by <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Journal of Internal Medicine<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> between February 2019 and May 2020 indicated evidence of racial, gender, and size bias in medical graphical abstract gallery<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. The study reported that this bias tends to link large-sized bodies with disease and combines race with genetics, distorting the understanding of diseases rather than enhancing it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, here are 5 practical recommendations for designing medicine-related visuals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Accuracy comes first: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Always design the graphical abstract for accuracy first. Include key numbers, such as the sample size, dosages &amp; frequency, critical dates, duration of experiment or treatment, and statistical data if relevant. You should also specify the study design (e.g., case-control study, RCTs, observational study, etc.) for clarity.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Prioritize journal-recommended templates: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Several journals provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/a-complete-guide-to-graphical-abstract-templates-and-their-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">graphical abstract templates<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> as reference that can be used for simplifying the design. The benefit of using these templates is two-fold: one, you ensure that your graphical abstract complies with journal\u2019s requirements. And two, starting with a readymade template reduces your burden in terms of designing!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Do not oversimplify: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In medicine-related visuals, the icons, graphics, symbols, and images should be chosen carefully. Although the visual abstract is meant to appeal to general audience, using incorrect visuals could not just oversimplify the message but also convey inaccurate information. It is always better to use platforms like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/?utm_source=editageinsights&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=visual-abstracts-in-medical-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Mind the Graph<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> that provide scientifically accurate illustrations to design visual abstracts.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ensure accessibility &amp; equity: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Use alt text to make graphics understandable to users with visual impairments. Pay close attention to color contrasts as well and avoid pictures that marginalize groups.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Get it peer-reviewed:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Visual abstracts tell a story; but does the story make sense to people who are not familiar with your study? Treat the graphical abstract like a mini research paper and have it reviewed by colleagues or professionals. Use their input and improve your graphic\u2019s presentation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">References<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1.
