Restating what the graphic shows is important, but it is also necessary to go beyond the obvious and analyze the information in a deeper way by emphasizing the main point with a summary, comparisons to other sources, and speculations on outcomes. This approach will help readers to better understand the data presented and its implications. Restating all the data presented may not be necessary as some information may be less important or repetitive. Doing none of the above would not provide enough analysis to help readers fully understand the graphic presented.
