Sorry, user logicallee explained this better than I did. You're looking at 4-5 graphs put next to each other for comparison. The nearest flatland with the huge towers is the one troubled clinic.

Here's an annotated version of that, drawn by a child apparently: http://i.imgur.com/1dcuuXI.png

As you can see, data of the clinic we were investigating is the first 6 long rows, and ones behind it are clinics we were not investigating. We asked to compare a number of clinics so not to tip our hand, and the administration took half a year of paranoid data checking before giving it to us.

I know, not the most intuitive graph, but the graph was meant to be a diagnostic for only me, the person who composed the data. As you can see, a single glance at the graph revealed the problem, without involving any numerical analysis.
