When I am describing a chart like a bar chart, what else expressions can I use instead of "The chart shows that" to avoid using "shows" too many times? Maybe like "it reveals..." or "it indicates..."

1Just delete it. Instead of "The chart shows that X," just say "X (see chart 2)".– alephzeroCommented Jun 9, 2017 at 0:51
