The overall pattern shown by a set of data, such as an increase, decrease, plateau or fluctuation.

Do not extend a trend beyond the measured range unless a prediction is requested, because the unseen values may not follow the same pattern.

An overall direction or pattern in a set of results.

Support each trend with values, units and the interval or categories being compared.

Quote values and units when describing a trend; do not just say that a graph ‘goes up’.

Check whether a graph estimate is within the measured range. Extrapolations are less certain because the trend may change.
