AB Abstracts  are  a  synopsis  (usually  250  words  or  less)  of  the  most  important  aspect  of  an  article.  They  should  be  clear,  concise,  and  complete  enough  for  readers  to  have  a  reasonable  understanding  of  the  important  portions  of  the  article.1  Since  they  are  the  most  commonly  read  part  of  an  article,  they  must  be  accurate  and  avoid  the  three  most  common  errors:  differences  in  information  presented  in  the  abstract  and  in  the  body  of  the  article,  information  given  in  the  abstract  that  was  not  presented  in  the  article,  and  conclusions  presented  in  the  abstract  that  are  not  supported  by  information  in  the  abstract.2-4
