I've attached a recreation of this graph type that I need to make for study reports. The clients have sent them to us in the past, but I am trying to make the reporting process more streamlined, so it will help if I can make these on our end before sending them out. I've also seen them in a few publications, so I know they are used, but I don't know what this type of graph is actually called. I have created a convoluted way of tricking excel into spitting one out (pictured), but I still want to know if there is a faster way, or software that can create them. It is difficult to look up tricks when you don't know what to search for.
They need to be able to display either several groups during a single timepoint, or several timepoints for a single group. Its not a true scatter, as the "x value" is the group # or timepoint, but the points are spaced out next to each other rather than on top of each other. The y-axis is then a normal numerical number, like IL-6 levels or an irritation score for an injection site observation.
