A description of thestatistical methods used to summarize data, test hypotheses, and characterize thesignificance of results should also be included. For weights and measures, metric unitsshould be used. Dosages should be expressed entirely in metric units and with specifictime intervals.Results:Actual results with numbers and data must be presented. When possible, quantifyfindings (mean, median, proportion) and present them with appropriate estimates ofmeasurement error or uncertainty (such as standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE) orconfidence interval) in addition to the results of hypothesis testing. If the data can be wellrepresented with a graph or figure, these are encouraged if subsequent publication is notanticipated. If numbers and data are not presented due to concerns regarding publication
