Do they show any kind of a pattern? Graphs and charts are particularly good at showing up patterns. E.g. The results obtained show that... Conclusions Do your results answer your original question? Do they support your hypothesis? E.g. Our hypothesis was proved/not proved. Remember: A negative result in science is still a result. If you wish to find a prince, be prepared to kiss many frogs. The chance of finding a prince grows each time you find a new frog. (Experimentalist folklore)
