DisciplineMade for clinicians, epidemiologists, and clinical researchers

Medical figure generator for clinical research that's ready for the journal

From CONSORT trial-flow diagrams and Kaplan-Meier survival curves to forest plots and study-design schematics, LabFig turns your clinical methods into a clean, publication-ready medical figure. Describe the trial, the endpoints, and the arms with plain-language text to figure, or pull a schematic straight from a protocol using PDF to figure — every box, label, and number in the medical figure stays editable for your NEJM, Lancet, or JAMA submission.

How it works

From clinical methods to a finished medical figure in three steps

No biostatistics-grade plotting software and no design tools — describe the study and refine the medical figure in one place.

Describe the medical figure you need in plain language

1Step 1

Describe your study

State the design and the medical figure you need — a two-arm RCT CONSORT flow with enrollment and exclusion counts, an overall-survival Kaplan-Meier with a number-at-risk table, or a subgroup forest plot of hazard ratios.

LabFig generates a publication-quality draft medical figure

2Step 2

Generate the draft

LabFig reads the clinical terms — randomization, allocation, follow-up, censoring, hazard ratio, 95% CI — and lays out the boxes, arrows, curves, and CI markers the way reviewers expect to see them.

Refine on the vector canvas and export to SVG, PDF or PNG

3Step 3

Refine and export

Edit any participant count, p-value, or arm label in the medical figure on the vector canvas, then export SVG, PDF, or 300dpi PNG that drops straight into your manuscript or grant.

Why LabFig for medical figures

A medical figure that speaks the language of clinical trials.

A medical figure generator and clinical diagram maker tuned to the conventions of evidence-based medicine — CONSORT, survival analysis, and meta-analysis — not a generic illustrator.

Trial reporting

CONSORT and patient-flow diagrams

Generate top-to-bottom flow diagrams that follow the CONSORT standard: enrollment and eligibility, randomization into arms, allocation, follow-up, and analysis — with exclusion and loss-to-follow-up branches and participant counts at every node.

Kaplan-Meier survival panels

Lay out stepped survival curves with 95% confidence bands, censoring ticks, a number-at-risk table, and annotated log-rank p-values and hazard ratios — ready to compare treatment and biomarker groups.

Evidence synthesis

Forest plots and treatment comparisons

Build subgroup and meta-analysis forest plots with square effect markers, horizontal CI lines, and a no-effect reference line, plus grouped treatment-comparison charts with error bars and significance brackets.

What you can make

Start from a medical figure template

Pick a CONSORT study-design schematic, a Kaplan-Meier survival panel, or a treatment-comparison medical figure, then load it into the workbench and adapt the arms, endpoints, and counts to your own trial.

Medical figure FAQ

Common questions from clinicians and clinical researchers about making a publication-ready medical figure.

Yes. Describe the design — number assessed for eligibility, exclusion reasons, the number randomized, each arm's allocation, follow-up losses, and the analyzed population — and LabFig lays it out as a top-to-bottom CONSORT flow diagram medical figure with the standard Enrollment, Allocation, Follow-Up, and Analysis sections and side branches for exclusions. Every participant count is editable on the canvas, so you can match your final numbers exactly before submission.

Tell LabFig which groups you're comparing (e.g. treatment vs control, or biomarker-high vs biomarker-low), the follow-up window, and the endpoint, and it produces a stepped Kaplan-Meier plot with 95% confidence bands, censoring ticks, and a number-at-risk table beneath the axis. You can then add or edit the log-rank p-value, hazard ratio, and confidence interval directly on the medical figure. See our guide to AI figures for clinical AI papers for a full example.

Yes. LabFig draws subgroup and meta-analysis forest plots with square point estimates sized by weight, horizontal confidence-interval lines, a vertical no-effect line at 1, and labeled rows for each subgroup or study. It handles odds ratios, risk ratios, and hazard ratios, and you can edit each effect estimate and CI on the vector canvas.

Each medical figure follows common publication conventions for resolution, typography, and color, and exports as SVG, PDF, or 300dpi PNG that fits a single- or double-column manuscript layout. Because everything stays editable, you can tune line weights, fonts, and labels to a specific journal's author guidelines before you submit. Always check the target journal's exact figure requirements.

A few plain-language sentences are enough. Name the study design, the arms or groups, the endpoint, and the key numbers, and LabFig infers the right medical figure type and layout. You don't need plotting code or vector software — refine participant counts, labels, and colors afterward on the canvas, which is ideal for clinicians, epidemiologists, and medical students. If your work spans into mechanism or molecular detail, the biology figure maker and the genomics figure maker cover those panels with the same editable, journal-ready output.
