The line graph compares the average visitation figures for patients in four categories who went to clinics at a specific hospital weekly between 2010 and 2016. In general, it is noticeable that the number of patients at the four clinics increased for all types of visits except for birth control which was unchanged overall. The figure for eye issues became the most common over the period, overtaking birth control, while visits for diabetic and dental reasons were lower throughout.
There were nearly 250 visits related to birth control in 2010, a figure which rose to a peak of 275 by 2012, before a sharp decline to 175 in 2014, and a complete recovery to its starting figure by the end of the time surveyed. In contrast, visits to the doctor concerning eye issues started lower at 125, grew negligibly over the next two years, prior to surging in the final four years to a high point, relative to all visits, of 350.
Diabetic and dental visits were consistently less common with the former beginning at 60, rising steadily to plateau under 100, and finishing the period with a sharp uptick to 175. The latter began the period higher at 100 visits, fell to half that number in 2012, more than recovered to 125 in 2014, and grew marginally in the final two years recorded.
Analysis
1. The line graph compares the average visitation figures for patients in four categories who went to clinics at a specific hospital weekly between 2010 and 2016. 2. In general, it is noticeable that the number of patients at the four clinics increased for all types of visits except for birth control which was unchanged overall. 3. The figure for eye issues became the most common over the period, overtaking birth control, while visits for diabetic and dental reasons were lower throughout.
Paraphrase what the bar chart shows.
Write a clear overview summarising the differences and the overall trend.
This one is a little complex so it needs a second sentence for the overview.
