The development of clinical practice guidelines involves a series of evidence-based decision-making processes, of which the formation of recommendations is particularly challenging. It demands decision-makers to have a thorough and precise understanding of the evidence, weigh the potential benefits and risks of interventions, and make valuable judgments and clinical choices. Compared to traditional approaches of presenting evidence information, the use of visualization tools can facilitate the communication and analysis of evidence, simplify information interpretation, and improve the efficiency of decision-making. Based on previousstudies, this paper proposes a visualization tool, vitruvian plot, for summarizing evidence and provides illustrative examples to demonstrate its usage and effects, with the aim of offering valuable guidance for researchers.
