- Background: 1-2 sentences establishing context
- Objective: 1 sentence stating the research question
- Methods: 2-3 sentences on approach (design, subjects, analyses)
- Results: 2-3 sentences on key findings (with numbers)
- Conclusion: 1-2 sentences on significance and implications
Introduction (funnel structure)
- Broad context (what is known)
- Narrowing focus (what is specifically relevant)
- Knowledge gap (what is NOT known)
- Study rationale (why THIS study)
- Objectives/hypothesis (what we aimed to do)

- Statistical analysis plan (pre-specified)
- Ethics approval and consent
Results (data-driven narrative)
- Present results in the order of objectives
- Reference every figure and table
- Report exact statistics (test, df, p, effect size, CI)
- Do NOT interpret results here
Discussion
- Summary of main findings (1 paragraph)
- Comparison with existing literature
- Possible mechanisms/explanations
- Strengths of the study
- Limitations (be honest and specific)
- Future directions
- Conclusion (clinical/scientific significance)
