DATA ANALYSIS AND PRESENTATION OF RESULTS
All medical research will produce new data. At the first step, your data are in unorganised format, so to say in the form of raw data. It needs two crucial steps, before readable in your final report: a) statistical analysis, and b) presentation of the results in accepted format. The former necessitates the use of special statistical software and appropriate statistical test, while doing the latter, you must select the proper format of presenting the results, be it tables, images or graphics. Frequently a combination of these. To make it look professional, another graphic software is usually needed to edit the graphics and process the images.
Statistical analyses:
With the experience of over 1.400 personally authored scientific communications, SMW Consultants has profound expertise in selecting and running the appropriate statistical analysis needed in your report. Our statistical software packages cover the full spectrum of statistical tests used in all type of medical research, and of course many more tests that are unusual in medical reports. Selecting the tests, formatting the data suitable for analysis, and running the tests is among the daily routines at SMW.
Our services can be tailored according to your wishes and specific needs. You might need assistance in some of these items:
You may have some experience and, most importantly, you have facilities to make the statistical analysis in-house.

That can adopt any of the forms listed on our consultations pages.
Or in other instance, you are designing a clinical trial and want already at the initial phase of study design make a plan for statistical analysis. This would be a wise thing to do, because it has implications in your study design, and the format of recording the data. When you tell us what you are planning to do, SMW Consultants can decipher a statistical analysis plan for your study.

We can provide the results of the analysis in any of the usual formats: word, html, txt, excel, all of which are flexible to process into final tables in your report. Or, if you wish, we can convert the file to a PDF document.
Presentation of results:
Data analysis and presentation of the results are closely interlinked. There are several optional formats of presenting the data, and you need to make a choice, which format suits bests for your data. This is important, because the data presentation format gives the report its shape. When properly done, it makes a major contribution towards the clarity of your study report.
Because statistical packages will produce the data output in the desired format, this decision must be made at the stage of data analysis. Most of the statistical software are not at their best in making the graphic outputs, however, and these can be significantly improved in style and design by further processing with a special graphic software.
Related to our services in running the statistical analysis, we can also do one of the following for you, if you decide to let SMW to take care of all this statistical stuff and its presentation.
Simple is beautiful. This statement applies extremely well to graphical presentation of research results as well. Few things are more boring than reading busy tables and busy graphics, printed in too small font to be barely visible, and containing a plethora of data that are difficult (if not impossible) to interpret. This applies equally well to presenting the data in slides (diapositives, PowerPoint) as in printed reports. In colour imagines, sometimes the colours simply do not make visible (slides), or are so badly selected that a visual separation of the data set they illustrate is not possible.
Reading the results is much facilitated if the graphs, images and tables are simple enough to permit an immediate recognition of the key message at first glance.This makes the reader feel more comfortable with your data, when the presentation is clear.
Being simple does not mean that the presentation must be of standard format, produced by the data output of statistical software. Keeping it simple, you can still do a lot to make the style and design visually more attractive. To create something that is non-standard.
Equipped with graphic software capable of performing extraordinary, SMW Consultants can process the output of your results to printed presentation that are far beyond the commonplace. Or we can process your important results to unique colour slides that you do not see presented by others. Except our CEO. When high-resolution print originals are needed, we have the hardware to produce these as well.
To get the most consistent end result, it is sometimes a good idea to let the experts do both the statistical analysis and writing the report. The most comprehensive of the SMW services includes the statistical analysis, interpretation of the results and selecting the most appropriate format for the final presentation of the data.
If you decide to select this option, we are ready to tailor you an offer that is hard to beat in work quality and in market value. Why not contact us today and tell us what you want to do. You are in a half way of having it done, while letting SMW to do it all.
