Text now fits cleanly with no truncation. The revised poster is ready.

Changes made per TANCON 2026 guidelines

TANCON 2026's official abstract/e-poster guidelines specify that Original Research submissions must follow this exact section structure: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusion.
Your original poster used: Background, Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusion, Keywords — which doesn't match. I restructured it:
Original posterRevised (TANCON 2026 compliant)
Background + Objective (2 boxes)Merged into single Introduction box
MethodsRenamed to Materials and Methods
ResultsKept as Results (with outcomes table retained)
ConclusionKept as Conclusion
KeywordsRemoved (not part of the required 4-section format)
Other adjustments:
  • Clean 4-quadrant grid layout (Introduction/Results top row, Materials and Methods/Conclusion bottom row) for easier scanning on a screen/e-poster board.
  • Title, presenting author, and affiliation kept in a header band; added a TANCON 2026 conference footer strip (dates/venue).
  • Kept the same 16:9 canvas size (960x540 pt = 13.33"x7.5") as your original file.
One note: the guidelines also state author names/affiliations should not appear in the abstract text submitted for blind review — that rule applies to the written abstract during submission, not the final displayed e-poster, so I kept the author/affiliation block on the poster as is standard practice for the on-site e-poster.

Updated the poster with larger fonts throughout and restored the Results section to match your original document's bullet-point style with the same table labels.

Changes in this revision

Font sizes increased across the board:
  • Title: 19pt → 23pt
  • Authors: 12.5pt → 15pt, Affiliation: 10.5pt → 12.5pt
  • Section headings: 12.5pt → 14.5pt
  • Body text: 8.6pt → 10.5pt
  • Table text: 8.7pt → 10pt
  • Footer: 8pt → 9pt
To fit the larger text without truncation, I tightened the margins/gutters slightly and gave the Results/Introduction row more vertical space.
Results section restored to match your uploaded original:
  • Now presented as 4 separate bullet points (not merged paragraphs), matching the original's bullet structure exactly.
  • The outcomes table now uses your original exact labels: "aDBS feasible" (5/5), "Reduced manual adj." (2/5), "Preferred dual-threshold" (2/2) — instead of the reworded versions I'd used before.
I verified the text extracts cleanly with no cut-off words in any of the four boxes.

I ran an automated fit-testing loop (checking that no text gets cut off in any section) across a wide range of font sizes with a tightened, more efficient layout. Here's the result:

Final font sizes (maximum that fit without truncation)

ElementSize
Title17.3pt
Section headings14.9pt
Author names12.4pt
Body text (all sections)10.5pt
Affiliation10.3pt
10.5pt is the technical ceiling for the body text in this fixed 960x540 (16:9) canvas — the Results box (4 bullets + outcomes table) and Materials and Methods box are the binding constraints. Anything larger causes real content ("were reviewed.", "2/2", "gait imbalance") to overflow and get silently dropped. I verified this by rendering and re-extracting text at every step from 14pt down, confirming nothing is truncated at 10.5pt.

Aesthetic upgrades added

  • Drop-shadow cards: each section box now has a soft shadow for depth instead of a flat rectangle.
  • Gold accent icons: small gold squares mark each section heading, plus a gold/red double accent line under the header.
  • Tinted backgrounds: each section has a subtle colour-matched tint (light blue, light teal, light grey, light red) instead of plain white.
  • Color-coded sections: Introduction = blue, Materials and Methods = teal, Results = navy, Conclusion = red — easier visual navigation at a glance.
  • Bold gold author name on the navy header band for stronger contrast/emphasis.
  • Tighter margins/gutters throughout to reclaim space for larger text.
If you want the body text noticeably larger than 10.5pt, the only ways to achieve that within this format are: (1) trim/shorten the Results bullets or Methods text, or (2) enlarge the physical canvas (e.g., print-size poster instead of a 16:9 screen e-poster). Let me know if you'd like me to try either.
