Hello everyone I am Hua Yao from Capital Medical university

Today we are going to talk about tables

In this lecture

we are going to work on the case analysis

Let’s look at the first one

From New England Journal of Medicine

The paper is Five-Year Outcomes after Off-Pump

or On-Pump Coronary-Artery Bypass Grafting

From this table we can see the following features

the table is numbered and followed by a period

the title “Outcomes at 5 years” goes above the Table

the title is brief and clear

Each type of information has its own column

and column heading

lines of demarcation are used to set title column headings

data and footnotes apart from one another

the column heading is subdivided into two or more categories

and subheadings for each category are used

the column headings are brief in the table

short terms or abbreviations in the column headings

and subheadings are used

a series of superscript symbols are used

to indicate that further explanations are provided

in the footnotes

In the footnotes

the writer provides further explanations

to clarify the outcome details in the table

the definition of abbreviations

are also provided after each explanation

each explanation has separate lines

Now let’s look at another example

It is from Lancet the paper is

Effect of apalutamide on health-related quality of life in patients

with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

an analysis of the SPARTAN randomised

placebo-controlled phase 3 trial

From this table we can see the following features

a colon is used after "Table 3"

the title “Group mean

FACT-P total

FACT-G total and FACT-P subscale scores in patients

with symptomatic progressive disease” was placed

at the bottom of the Table

The title is sufficiently clear

concise and descriptive to be understood by intended audience

without reading the results section

This title can stand alone and be interpretable

lines of demarcation are used to set title

column headings data

and footnotes apart from one another

the column heading is subdivided into two or more categories

and subheading for each category is used

the column headings are brief

Short terms or abbreviations in the column headings

and subheadings are used

column headings at the top of the table

apply to the entire table

There cells horizontally or vertically are not merged

within a table

apart from when required in column headings

a series of superscript symbols are used to indicate

that further explanations are provided in the footnote

The order of information in the footnotes is

First

statistical and experimental data details

Then the definitions of abbreviations

At last explanations of symbols

All the explanations are written in one paragraph

without separate lines.

Now let’s look at the next example It is from British Medical Journal. The paper is Effectiveness of a childhood obesity prevention programme delivered through schools, targeting 6 and 7 year olds: cluster randomised controlled trial

It is from British medical journal

The paper is effectiveness of childhood obesity prevention program

delivered through schools targeting six and seven year olds

cluster randomized controlled trial

From this table we can see the following features

“Table 4“ is followed by a short vertical line

the title “adjusted differences for body mass index

zscore between control and intervention groups at first

second and third follow up ” goes above the Table

the title provided the sufficient information

the abbreviation BMI is defined in the title

lines of demarcation are used to set title

column data and footnotes apart from one another

a column heading is subdivided into two or more categories

and subheading is used for each category

a series of superscript symbols are used to indicate

that further explanations are provided in the footnote

In the footnotes further explanations are provided

to clarify experimental and statistical details in the table

Each explanation is provided with a separate line

Now let’ look at the last example from JAMA

The paper is Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring

on Hypoglycemia in Older Adults with Type1 Diabetes

From this table we can see the following features

"Table 2“ is followed by a period

the title “glycemic outcomes” goes above the Table

the title is brief and clear

lines of demarcation are used to set titles

column headings data and footnotes apart from one another

a column heading is subdivided into two or more categories

and subheading is used for each category

the primary comparison reads horizontally

Footnote is placed at the bottom of the table

sometimes the footnotes

can also be placed at the right side of the table

such as the following example

superscript letters a, b, c, d,e are used

to mark each footnote and each footnote in the table

has a corresponding note and vice versa

Note that JAMA Network journals report laboratory values

in conventional units

In the footnote

the conversion factor to SI units is provided

The order of information in footnotes

first the definitions of creations are provided

starting with “abbreviations” colin

Then the writer provided SI conversion

After that

the writer provided further explanations

to clarify experimental and statistical details in the table

Each explanation is provided with a separate line

Now let’s look at some exercises

exercise1

If you want to submit paper to the JAMA

which of the following tables is appropriate

From what we have learned today

we know A is the format for British Medical Journal

B is the format for JAMA

C is the format for Lancet

D is the format for New English Journal of Medicine

So B is the correct answer

Exercise 2

If you want to submit

the paper with the following table to the Lancet

how do you revise the table

According to what we learned

about the format of Lancet today

we get to know that the title should be

placed at the bottom of the table

the order of the information in the footnote

should be changed

and the separate lines are not needed

So we can revise it like this

This is the end of today’s lecture

thank you
