10. Results Summary/descriptive statistics for each experimental group, with a measure of variability where applicable (e.g. mean and SD, or median and range). examples

For each experiment conducted, including independent replications, report:

10a Summary/descriptive statistics for each experimental group, with a measure of variability where applicable (e.g. mean and SD, or median and range).
10b If applicable, the effect size with a confidence interval.
Explanation
Examples

Example 1

Figure 5[1]

“Bioacoustic parameters of new species of miniaturised cophyline microhylids...Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation, with range in brackets. na = not applicable. *In all species except R. proportionalis calls consist of a single note according to the definition herein, and in these species call duration is therefore synonymous with note duration.” [1]

Example 2

Figure 6[2]

“Fractions of the unperturbed elements of calcium release in cardiac myocytes. MORPHOL: fractions of compact dyads estimated by morphometry from electron microscopic images…ELPHYS: fractions of the early CRF components estimated by fitting records of integral fluorescence signals …. CTR - control myocardium; IMY - injured myocardium. All collected data are shown. Box plots show the 25%, 50% and 75% percentiles; whiskers show 10% and 90% percentile. Solid squares denote the means.” [2]
