# Extracting Precise Results

Use the full text. An abstract or search snippet cannot support a precise
attribution.

1. Find the relevant numbered statement. Prefer accessible HTML or source; otherwise
   inspect the PDF.
2. Record its number, hypotheses, conclusion, direct link, and page or section
   when available. Paraphrase faithfully; quote only when the wording matters.
3. Keep distinct results separate.
4. If the full text is inaccessible, say so. Do not reconstruct a precise
   statement from the abstract.
