When the methods have been extensively detailed elsewhere, there is no need to duplicate this material. Instead, list the appropriate reference. State concisely, in logical sequence, the results of the study. Subheadings may be used for particular sections, ie, clinical findings, radiographic findings, etc. Do not reproduce the same data in both tables and figures.
Tables are a concise means of presenting large amounts of numerical data in a logical format.
Tables containing raw data for a number of variables for each individual animal are not appropriate. Such data should be provided, either in a table or in the text, using summary or descriptive statistics. Tables should not contain only two rows with two or more columns or two columns with two or more rows, for example a table providing hematologic data for one group of animals. Such data should be reported in the text. Summarize the important observations.
