Reading note
Read the participant description before deciding how broadly to interpret a report. Examine who could enter the research, who was excluded, and whose observations appear in the analysis. Keep those descriptions separate from the audience addressed by the headline. If a story makes a broad claim, check how it explains the step from the studied group to that wider audience. Missing information should remain an open question in the reading notes. The goal is to define the reach of the reported finding without inventing results for people outside the analysis.
