Each graph displays data for one of the 23 fields over an 11-year period. Lines show the percentage of papers that use bar graphs (red line), bar graphs with overlaid dot plots (purple line), or a more informative graph type (blue line) to display continuous data. Shaded regions show 95% confidence intervals. The informative graphs category includes dot plots, box plots, violin plots, and histograms. Bar graphs are the least informative graph type. Bar graphs with dot plots are suboptimal.
