Argument
![Page 4: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Argument: the art of persuasion. • For documents based on new evidence or new synthesis of
old evidence (situation analysis, abstract, manuscript, slide presentation, desk review), this formula is logical and powerful. – Background – Why did you do it?– Methods – How did you do it?– Results – What did you observe?– Conclusions – So what do we do?
Presenting an argument

Title Slide
![Page 8: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A real case (different authors)! This slide has at least seven problems. Let’s start from the periphery: the formatting.
“SUSTAINABLE OUTREACH SERVICE” (SOS): SOLUTION TO A VEXING PROBLEM?
A. Einstein
![Page 9: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“SUSTAINABLE OUTREACH SERVICE” (SOS): SOLUTION TO A VEXING PROBLEM?
A. Einstein
Good. Using agency-approved style is important.
But CAPITAL letters are difficult to read quickly. (And shouting is rude.)
![Page 10: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Sustainable Outreach Service” (SOS): Solution to a Vexing Problem?
A. Einstein
Good. Proper title format requires a capital letter for each important word and the first word of each line, even if it is a tiny word. Not using all capital letters saves space, too.
But what about this nine-word title? Is it informative? Is it interesting?
![Page 11: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A. Einstein
Good. This 11-word title defines content, an association, results, and setting.
Sustainable Outreach Services (SOS) Immunize Semi-Nomadic Children in Rural Ethiopia
But what about the author line? Few documentation efforts are solo.
![Page 12: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A. Einstein, A. Gore, B. Obama, K. Marx, N. Bonaparte, E. Windsor, S. Palin
Good. Now we have the full team. Be inclusive. The first, second, third, and last spots are more important. The presenter does NOT automatically get one of these.
But the slide still lacks some key information.

Now we have the occasion for the presentation. This also helps filing.
Anything else?

A “sans serif” font like GillSans or Arial is much easier to read. GillSans takes less space.
![Page 15: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Do have an interesting, informative title.• Don’t have an “egocentric” author line.• Don’t forget the standard title items.
– Title
– Authors
– Occasion and Date
– Logo, if necessary

• Do use your agency’s approved style.• If there is no official style, use simple, attractive,
non-distracting slide formatting and background.
• Don’t use ALL CAPITALS.• Don’t use a font with serif.

Research
• Community-based surveillance to identify principal bacterial and viral agents of neonatal infections; emphasis on Africa and Asia.
• Determination of antimicrobial resistance profiles of the common bacterial agents of serious infections in neonates on a regional basis, in both community and hospital settings.
• Studies of neonatal care provided in the home by caretakers, traditional birth attendants, and community health workers, and follow cohorts of neonates for infectious outcome.
• Case-control studies to identify the principal risk factors for neonatal infections. Risk factors to be evaluated include low birth weight; unhygienic delivery, skin and umbilical cord care; birth asphyxia; hypothermia; smoke inhalation; and feeding practices.
Refine and adapt oral rehydration protocols for use in diarrhea. Implement currently available vaccines; develop new vaccines.
Another real case (slightly modified). Let’s start at the periphery again: style.
![Page 19: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Research
Good. We are using an agency-approved style.
What about the title?
![Page 20: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Research Priorities for Newborn Infection
Good. The title is now informative.
Bullets and indentation are inconsistent.
![Page 21: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

OK. Bullets are good.
But do you feel like you are suffocating?
![Page 22: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Research Priorities for Newborn Infection
OK. Now we have some margins.
But the text is about to fall off the bottom of the slide. There are too many words: 125 words in 14 lines, requiring a 20 font, which is barely readable. The “6x6” rule calls for a maximum of six lines of six words each, i.e., 36 words!
![Page 23: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Community-based surveillance for pathogens, especially in Africa and Asia.
• Determination of antimicrobial resistance patterns in community and hospital.
• Examining association between infection and care provided by families, traditional birth attendants, and community health workers.
• Case control studies to assess role of low birth weight; unhygienic delivery, skin and umbilical cord care; birth asphyxia; hypothermia; smoke inhalation; and feeding practices.
• Refine, adapt, and test oral rehydration for diarrhea.• Implement currently available vaccines; develop new vaccines.
Research Priorities for Newborn Infection
Two approaches: edit and divide the slide. Light editing allows 22 font. Heavy editing might meet the 6x6 rule and allow some speaker spontaneity.
But we are unlikely to avoid dividing our slide. Before we do that, do you see anything else that would impact the size of the text area?
![Page 24: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Yes, GillSans is official agency font (BUT it doesn’t “work” in my computer!
![Page 25: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Research Priorities for Newborn Infection
And removing bold saves space.
But we should divide the slide into two slides of three bullets each.
![Page 26: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Community-based surveillance for pathogens, especially in Africa and Asia.
• Determination of antimicrobial resistance patterns in community and hospital.
• Examining association between infection and care provided by families, traditional birth attendants, and community health workers.
Research Priorities for Newborn Infection
Bold in the slide title “works. So do three bullets.
The text is still a bit crowded.
![Page 27: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Community-based surveillance for pathogens, especially in Africa and Asia.
• Determination of antimicrobial resistance patterns in community and hospital.
• Examining association between infection and care provided by families, traditional birth attendants, and community health workers.
Research Priorities for Newborn Infection
Increased spacing between lines lets in some oxygen (35 words in seven lines!
What about the other bullets?
![Page 28: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• Refine, adapt, and test oral rehydration for diarrhea.
• Implement currently available vaccines; develop new vaccines.
Research Priorities – 2
An abbreviated title and “ – 2” reminds the audience that this is a continuation.
We did not heavily edit the text which still lacks parallel construction. Some start with nouns; others start with verbs.
![Page 29: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Do use an informative slide title.
• Do use bullets, not paragraphs.
• Do write concisely and elaborate during the presentation.

• Do remember the “6x6” rule and don’t write too much on one slide.
• Do use large fonts: (36-40 title, 24-32 text)
• Do use consistent bulleting and indentation.
• Don’t fear empty space on your slides.

We made the title informative, helping the table to “stand alone,” a goal for graphics and tables.
Presentations can not tell the
whole story from a manuscript.
Can we focus a bit?

Alphabetical order probably does not inform the message. Instead, we ordered the rows in descending order of sensitivity, a key variable.
But what about overall formatting?

Depending on the audience, eliminating confidence intervals removes two thirds of the numbers and allows a bigger font.
Do we need to be more precise?

Even though we went from 45 to 15 numbers, it is a lot of information to absorb quickly. Simple “special effects” can highlight “message numbers.”
More?

Table Nuggets
• Do use an informative title.
• Don’t have too many rows or columns; instead focus on the rows and columns central to your message.
• Do organize table rows according to your message.
![Page 47: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Table Nuggets – 2
• Do double-check your numbers.• Don’t have too many numbers or too
many significant figures.• Do use animated circles to highlight key
numbers.• Don’t paste a table from a manuscript.
![Page 48: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Table Nuggets – 3
• Do use PowerPoint’s table feature.• Do format consistently with text slides.• Don’t use a font with a serif.• Do left-justify row headings and center-justify
column headings and data.• If you use abbreviations, use footnotes to explain
them so your table “stands alone.”

This chart is imported from Excel. Let’s start at the periphery: the title.

What about the formatting?

Technical people want to see the heights of the bars. They are, after all, the most important part! 3-D parallax makes ascertaining the height difficult.
Now we can remove those distracting numerical labels above each bar.

Sometimes specific numbers need to be included – individual Text Boxes can do this. But we hardly ever need every number or 3 significant figures! The general and relative heights of the bars are enough.
What about the relative size of the bar chart vs. legend?

The bigger the bars, the better. By putting the legend inside the “shallow” end of the bar chart, we can spread the chart over the whole slide.
But it’s still not easy to read. What about the y-axis label? It looks more like a sub-title.
![Page 55: Powerpacked PowerPoint Presentations_David Marsh_4.25.13](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/548d09d1b47959192b8b4827/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

We recast the Excel chart directly through PowerPoint. It takes about 60 seconds to enter 10 values and label the categories. Double check the values! Now we also have a clear y-axis label.
Do you see any remaining minor improvements to make?
