Plan: to paraphrase all information you select from the original article for your abstract
Aim: do not lose the context of the original article through translation to an abstract – the main takeaways should be clearly visible in your version including statistics
Help: if you are unsure how to “write the statistics”, please ask
Review the following Published Article
Use it to extract the information for your Abstract
Note in this study my collogues and I compared gunshot wounds treated at a trauma center across (2) time periods: pre/post the implementation of a new conceal carry law
You’ll want to focus on telling the story of “what changed” between baseline (before the law) and at the end of the study (after the law)
Did deaths go up? What other hospital outcomes changed? Did anything change–maybe it didn’t. This is what is meant by “telling the story”
