just stumbled upon this visual in a research paper and its the most scummy thing i've ever seen
#it's terrible practice reduce intensity of colour values as the actual values go up. it's counterintuitive#at first glance looks as if african and asian countries have higher levels of whatever is being calculated (in this case cholesterol)#you really need to look into the colour key several times for it to really click#it doesn't help that the colour chosen is red#if i didn't know any better i'd argue that the misleading is intentional#either way. wth man#can scientists learn how produce good charts and figures please
