Case 48 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · source wording exercise

Two figures use different units and one axis is logarithmic. How should a comparison be documented?

Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase. Use the original answer fragment “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.

Exercise RESEARCH-00393/48: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 48 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · source wording exercise

Clarification for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: the point beginning “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.

Case 48 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · source wording exercise

Method note for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: use “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.

Case 48 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · source wording exercise

Summary draft for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: the answer addresses “Do not compare apparent visual distances…”; the related point is “Record the original units and axis transformation, show any conversion…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.

Case 48 — Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error · source wording exercise

Reader check for “Units and scale: prevent a silent comparison error”: distinguish the discussion point “Do not compare apparent visual distances…” from its proposed application. The thread offers a way to reason about the question, without adding a personal experience or a newly observed outcome. Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase.

Case 49 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods · comparison exercise

A strong abstract conclusion is being discussed without the study methods. What should the reading note cover?

Review focus: comparison. Make the basis of a comparison explicit before interpreting it. Use the original answer fragment “Identify population, design, comparator, outcome…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.

Exercise RESEARCH-00393/49: address this question within its stated limits.
