Description
Summary:The authors do not mention if the infographic was built on existing knowledge regarding best practices [2,3] aligned with communication theories, instructional design strategies, or information design principles [4–6].Because there are no established conventions on how to develop an infographic to communicate a complex message, it becomes essential to specify if the infographic was co-created with potential users, pretested, and validated by specialists.[...]the authors do not mention if specific sections of the infographic may have limited the overall participants' understanding.[...]the three knowledge summary formats must contain the same information to rigorously interpret the results.
