An author would most likely use a compare-and-contrast text structure.
How it’s organized:
- Point-by-point: discuss one criterion at a time (e.g., effectiveness, side effects, cost), comparing the old and new treatments for each.
- Block (subject-by-subject): describe the old treatment fully, then describe the new treatment, and finish with their differences and similarities.
Signal words the author might use: however, whereas, unlike, similarly, both, on the other hand, in contrast.
Why it’s used: this structure makes it easy to show improvements, trade-offs, and practical differences (outcomes, risks, duration, cost), so readers can clearly see how the new treatment differs from the old.
