The Editor-in-Chief presents the main findings of the study as an animated character - see an example: Nut Consumption and Mortality:References:CasesBlog - Medical and Health Blog: NEJM Horizons Conference to Push Boundaries of Traditional Medical Publishing, Day 3 http://buff.ly/1mGkxa9 Posted at Clinical Cases and Images.
