I’m sure it will come as no surprise that The Pharmaceutical Journal’s most-read infographics this year focus on COVID-19.
Our second most popular infographic focuses on the pathology of COVID-19, while readers’ favourite infographic of 2020 illustrated the different approaches being taken to develop a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.
Other popular infographics this year investigated clinical topics, such as acute kidney injury, indigestion, and anxiety and depression.
Your top five infographics published in 2020 were:
5. Cognitive behavioural therapy: breaking the cycle

2. Targeting COVID-19: the drugs being fast-tracked through clinical trials and how they work
Published in May, this infographic illustrates the pathology of COVID-19 and summarises the many new and repurposed medicines that, at the time, were being investigated as part of nationally prioritised clinical trials.
