Some advices are provided in order to make statistical figures and analyses more correct in biomedical articles. The sample size has an outstanding significance. Analysing different statistical relationships the requirements of biometry should be fulfilled (number and distribution of data etc.) and interpretation of statistical findings could be done only within the domain of minimal and maximal values of independent variable. Extrapolation is not recommended due to the specific nature of the biomedical system. In some cases laboratory data should be transformed mathematically and the results of subsequent statistical calculations should be retransformed back into the biomedical system.
