Abstract
Tables, figures and graphs help authors to present detailed results and complex relationships, patterns and trends clearly and concisely [1–4]; they also reduce the length of the manuscript and enhance readers’ understanding of the study results. However, while well-presented tables and figures in research papers can efficiently capture and present information, poorly crafted tables and figures can confuse readers and impair the effectiveness of a paper [1].
