Astronomy: the figure is the unit of result, and nothing is reported pooled
Draft your figure list before your analysis list. In observational astronomy the result is delivered as a figure a reader can lay beside the published one: the same quantities on both axes, the same log or linear scaling, the same decade span, the full family of competing models or method variants overlaid on one set of axes, the decision threshold drawn as a labelled line, and a caption stating the numbers a reader would otherwise have to read off the plot (N, median, confidence level, how many points fall each side of the line). A result that is scientifically equivalent but visually reorganised, or that exists only as a table or a sentence, will not be recognised as that result.
