How to Read a Research Paper (Critical Appraisal) 

This is fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to create this. This has been very helpful and looking forward to seeing further videos similar to this. I've been looking at your previous video and compared it to this. I've started to incorporate the following model based on your videos when I appraise medical literature: Introduction: -first paragraph: introduce/define the problem -second paragraph: what has been done and why more research needs to be done -last paragraph: describe study aim/hypothesis Methods: -Study design -who: patient, setting or where they came from -what: measurements, treatments, definitions, what follow up period was and outcome -how: statistical analysis Results: -go straight to tables and figures -findings -goes in sequence of importance? Discussion: -First paragraph: summary paragraph (what authors did, why they did it, summary of key findings) -middle paragraphs: comparing study findings and what has been done in the field and why the authors findings are better or noteworthy -final paragraph: limitations/strengths (e.g., data based) when short for time, I focus on extracting as much as possible from the abstract then real the last paragraph of introduction then head to results and read the first two paragraphs of the discussion. You've given so much value, I hope to continue to learn from your videos. Thank you and sorry for the long comment!

AMAZING!!! Thank you so much :)

Thank you for making this wonderful video for beginners like me to understand and implement it for presentation at journal club.

Great video, thank you so much for your time and effort

If a study did not include limitation section, is that considered as a poor research paper?
