Reading note
Identify which question a report set out to answer before following an interesting detail in its results. Look for the planned main comparison and distinguish it from observations explored afterward. If the news story emphasizes a secondary finding, examine whether it also explains the result of the main analysis and the limits attached to the selected detail. Avoid letting an isolated number carry the entire interpretation. A clear reading note separates the original question, the reported answer, and any further question suggested by exploration, without upgrading that suggestion into a settled conclusion.
