Case 5 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods
Identify population, design, comparator, outcome definitions and follow-up. Assess whether the conclusion extends beyond the measurements and note what cannot be learned from the abstract alone.

Case 5 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods
Clarification for “Reading an abstract without skipping the methods”: the point beginning “Identify population, design, comparator, outcome…” 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: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 5 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods
Method note for “Reading an abstract without skipping the methods”: use “Identify population, design, comparator, outcome…” 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. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 5 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods
Limit of the answer in “Reading an abstract without skipping the methods”: “Identify population, design, comparator, outcome…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification. A reader needs the relevant original material before treating an interpretation as established. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 5 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods
Correction note for “Reading an abstract without skipping the methods”: retain the wording beginning “Identify population, design, comparator, outcome…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 5 — Reading an abstract without skipping the methods
Summary draft for “Reading an abstract without skipping the methods”: the answer addresses “Identify population, design, comparator, outcome…”; the related point is “Assess whether the conclusion extends beyond the measurements and note what…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 6 — Preprint versus peer-reviewed publication
A cited preprint has a later published version. How should an archive entry handle the relationship?
Exercise RESEARCH-10445/6: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 6 — Preprint versus peer-reviewed publication
Link both versions, record dates and check whether methods or conclusions changed. Publication status is useful context but is not itself a guarantee that a finding is correct.

Case 7 — Reproducibility checklist for a bench-method discussion
A protocol summary omits conditions and controls. What makes the account reproducible?
Exercise RESEARCH-10445/7: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 7 — Reproducibility checklist for a bench-method discussion
List materials, measurement conditions, controls and exclusions with enough detail to understand the method. Keep this as research documentation and do not turn it into instructions for human self-experimentation.
