Use case
Turn a research summary into a visual story
The key finding usually sits in a dense paragraph next to the caveats; paste the summary into Infograph and get a visual story where every figure stays tied to the source text.
The summary stays attached to the story, so anyone can check a figure against it.
Made from this text
Before and after: a model of the world coffee trade
Before: the research summary, as pasted
Summary: an illustrative model of the world coffee trade Scope. A teaching model, not measured market data. It follows coffee in 2 stages, farm and trade. Time. In the model, a shipment moves from farm to port in 10 and 20 hours. Value. Of a 30 dollar basket, 10 dollars goes to farms and 20 to trade. Regions. Two periods, Harvest and Delivery, compare Brazil (10, 20) with Vietnam (20, 30). Trade-offs. On cost the two routes score 10 and 20; on reach, 20 and 30. Limits. Every value is an example chosen for teaching. Takeaway. Every cup connects a farm to a market.
After: the story
Findings deserve more than a PDF nobody opens
Infograph pulls out the findings, the figures behind them and the limits that come with them. Comparisons become charts. Shares become parts of a whole. The source text stays attached to the story, so a reader can check any card against it.
Three steps
Paste the summary
Use an abstract, an executive summary, a literature review or your own notes on the findings.
Pick a template
A clean editorial look suits a report. Sketch or Notebook works well for a class or a lab meeting.
Share or export
Share the link with your team, or export a PDF to send along with the full report.
Every number comes from your source
A summary that drifts from the paper can spread a result the authors never found. Infograph removes any figure the source does not contain, so the story says no more than your research does.

Questions
Can I paste a whole paper?
You can paste long text, and longer sources become longer stories with chapters. A summary usually gives a tighter story, because it already says what matters.
Does it keep the caveats?
It works from what your text says. If the summary states a limit, the story can show it next to the finding. Read the story before you share it, as you would any summary.
Can readers see where a number came from?
Yes. Every story keeps its source attached, so you and your readers can check each part against the original text.
