Figure and Table | An Audience-friendly Medical Meeting: A Good Presentation and Chairpersonship

Table 1. Proposals for an Audience-Friendly Meeting (for the Presenter).

1.	At the beginning:
	1) Do not read out COI when there is no COI. Just stating “No COI” in the slide is sufficient.^＊1-1)
	2) State the conclusion. State the significance.^＊1-2)
2.	During presentation:
	Do not cite many references. If one wishes, cite one. Rather, state “Search PubMed with X and Y,” if necessary.^＊2
3.	At the end:
	1) Read the summary in an audience-friendly manner. Never end the presentation with “See the summary.”^＊3-1)
	2) No need to make an Acknowledgment slide.^＊3-2)
4.	In the question-and-answer portion:
	No need to state gratitude to the questioner.^＊4

Table 2. Proposals for an Audience-Friendly Meeting (for the Chairperson).

1.	Be a timekeeper:
	An early end does not matter.
	If there are no questions, the chairperson need not question, except when extremely important issues remain unaddressed.
2.	Organize the presentation in a time-saving and audience-friendly manner:
	Stop the presentation when there are mistakes that will shake the reliability of the presentation.
	Ask whether important data are correct when doubtful.
3.	Select questions:
	Allocate a long time to questions regarding the significance of the study.
	Allocate a short time to questions regarding study details. Balance the two.
