统计学家建议用图形显示，但通常使用表格来展示他们自己的研究结果。图表能做得更好吗？我们通过查阅最近一期《美国统计协会杂志》上的表格来研究这个问题。我们将展示如何使用实际上比原始表格占用更少空间的图表来改进演示文稿。我们发现一个特别有效的工具是多个重复的线条图，通过线连接兴趣的比较，并在不同的曲线图上隔离单独的比较。
Statisticians recommend graphical displays but often use tables to present their own research results. Could graphs do better? We study the question by going through the tables in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Statistical Association. We show how it is possible to improve the presentations using graphs that actually take up less space than the original tables. We find a particularly effective tool to be multiple repeated line plots, with comparisons of interest connected by lines and separate comparisons isolated on different plots.
