Ethical and informed consent considerations are taken into account if required, as reflected in the study to which the article refers
State the use of acronyms and measurement systems if they are used

They are written in the past tense and impersonal with narrative and descriptive style
They do not repeat information previously expressed in the Materials and Methods section
They offer representative data and not repetitive data

A legend is used below the table if necessary
The source is expressed if necessary

It shows the existing relationships between the observed facts
It shows the coincidence or contraposition of the results obtained in other studies previously carried out by other authors and even by the author himself
Maintains a logical sequence in relation to the way in which the results were expressed

If necessary, it makes use of the call to table, figure, graph, etc. E.g.: (Fig. 1)
Adequately introduces citations of new authors that were not previously used in the introduction
It only discusses the results described, does not infer, does not deduce, does not refer to aspects that cannot be demonstrated by the results or that are not presented in the article
