Keep the number of points expressed in your poster to a minimum - be happy if the viewer goes home with one solid idea from your poster. Don't make the viewer lean up to within 6 inches of your poster. You can use numbers on pages, color coding, arrows, or just careful placement. A poster is a visual presentation - take advantage of it. A more complete caption should fully explain the picture.
Graphs are far better than tables of numbers or equations.
