You may add focus areas, discussion questions, context, branding, a logo, figures, or an institutional PPTX template. These guide the presentation of the primary paper and do not authorize multi-paper synthesis.

What each label means

  • Direct quotation , exact paper wording, kept with page and context.
  • Paper-reported fact , a value or fact the paper states, linked to section, page, figure or table.
  • Paraphrase , rewritten wording of a supported point, linked to its source.
  • User interpretation · review , your own inference or critique , never attributed to the authors.
  • Suggestion , not a finding , generated structure, titles, or framing.
  • Missing / unclear , the paper doesn’t clearly support it; left visible, not filled.
  • Limitation / conflict , a caveat, definition, or scope boundary that qualifies a claim.

LIMITATION SPOTLIGHT

Keep background separate from study evidence.

Explanatory background is labeled as explanation. Results and quantitative claims come from the primary paper. We do not blend unrelated findings or silently reconcile disagreement between studies.

  • Author-stated limitations stay attached to their page.
  • Association is never rephrased as cause.
  • Gaps the paper doesn’t answer stay marked as open.
