Abstract Types & Structure
a) REVIEW / META-ANALYSIS
A study focused on a topic based on a substantial search in the literature. The main and fundamental role of a review is to create a comprehensive blend of the best and most updated resources available about a specific topic.
IMPORTANT: Abstracts of Reviews/Meta-analyses must be consistent with the PRISMA guidelines
• Background:
Brief description of what is known about the chosen subject and its importance in research.
• Objectives:
Description of your aim and main hypothesis.
• Methods and Materials:
Details about how the study was conducted, data regarding patients, basic characteristics, the reason behind choosing the studies, and their relevance.
• Results:
The main outcome of your study. Present it in an attractive manner, and create a link between your original hypothesis and final results, all provided in a very brief summary.
• Conclusions:
This section allows you to summarize the topic and make a statement about the results you obtained. Regardless of whether your results are in line with the original hypothesis, you have to be very clear.
• Bibliography:
A mandatory list of all the articles consulted in the study, used as references to support statements and substantiate the data and information in the article.
b) ORIGINAL STUDY
A detailed account of research activity considered a primary source of information, meant to expand knowledge and understand the studied field further.
• Introduction:
A brief description of the chosen subject, its significance for research, the hypothesis, and the aim of your research.
• Methods and Materials:
Details about how the study was conducted and data processing. You should specify the number of subjects and the steps taken to execute your research.
• Results:
The main outcome of your study. Present it in an attractive manner, and create a link between your original hypothesis and final results.
• Conclusion:
Summarization of the topic with your results integrated. You may also add a statement that comprehends the entire idea of your study, allowing new perspectives over your abstract.
• Bibliography:
A mandatory list of all the articles consulted in the study, used as references to support statements and substantiate the data and information in the article.
c) CASE REPORT
A study based on the observation of one or more patients that present particular aspects of a certain pathology. The aim of a case report is to highlight the qualities of an outstanding case and to provide useful information for your fellow colleagues that can influence aspects of understanding pathological processes or therapeutic procedures.
IMPORTANT: Abstracts of case reports must be consistent with the CARE guidelines
• Introduction:
A brief section regarding the context, importance, and relevance of the pathology. The aim of presenting this case should be emphasized, as well as the main factors that influenced your case.
• Case Presentation:
You have to include the patient's history (briefly, in order to offer context and create a link between the condition and its etiology), clinical examination, and paraclinical investigations relevant to the case.
• Discussion:
Summarization of the case. Here, you'll compare the case with other similar cases reported in the literature. Also, here you'll state how this case broadens the current understanding of the pathology and clinical situation.
• Bibliography:
A mandatory list of all the articles consulted in the study, used as references to support statements and substantiate the data and information in the article.
Important: If requested, you must provide the raw data file used for the statistical analysis.
