An abstract is a brief summary of the article that quickly shows whether the article is research or clinically based.An abstract summarizes the purpose of the study or clinical review,the major themes or findings,and the implications for nursing practice.A good author offers a detailed background of previous studies and the level of evidence or clinical information that exists about the topic of the article,which is called the literature review.Analysis is the section that explains how the data collected in a study are analyzed.The p value (usually set at 0.05)is a probability level that tells you whether the difference between two groups was likely related to the intervention or if it was simply a difference by chance.
