Abstract and IMRaD

Structured abstracts typically cover objective, methods, results, and conclusions. Body follows IMRaD.

Length follows article type on the CMA / Yiigle author page. Prefer generic drug names.

Ethics and statistics

Human studies need ethics approval and consent; trials need registration. Declare conflicts of interest.

Spell out statistics, inclusion, and follow-up. Hide affiliations in the review file. Use editable three-line tables.
