<Abstract:> The first sentence should summarise the clinical question that the review addresses e.g. "Are PDAs better than pen and paper for recording patient-reported outcomes in clinical research?". The second sentence should accurately state the results, e.g. "PDAs were found to have better compliance and fewer errors in most of the nine studies.". The final sentence should tell the learning points, with any relevant caveats, e.g. "All studies reported technical difficulties with the PDAs". You must stick to these three sentences and use fewer than 150 words. For everything you write do _not_copy entire sentences - you must rephrase it (for copyright reasons) and summarize it (to save the reader time).
