A SMALL TASK. A COMPLETE EVIDENCE CHAIN.

A first revision, with the evidence intact

This fictional, self-contained example shows how the workflow is intended to revise a Results paragraph. Read the draft, examine the evidence and compare one acceptable reference revision.

SYNTHETIC TEACHING EXAMPLE
01 / Original draftUnsupported claim

Across 12 independent cultures, the treatment increased marker expression by 18% (95% CI 10–26%; Fig. 1a). We carefully verified that this was not simply an arbitrary observation. This result should not be interpreted as evidence that the treatment improves cell survival. Survival changed by 1 percentage point (95% CI −3 to 5; Fig. 1b). These results demonstrate that the treatment improves both marker expression and survival.

02 / Reference revisionEvidence-bounded

Across 12 independent cultures, the treatment increased marker expression by 18% (95% CI 10–26%; Fig. 1a). Survival changed by 1 percentage point (95% CI −3 to 5; Fig. 1b), with no clear evidence of improved survival. The treatment therefore increased marker expression without a demonstrated survival benefit.

What the supplied evidence actually says

  • The independent unit is a culture: 12 independent cultures, not 12 cells.
  • Marker expression: increase of 18%, 95% CI 10–26%; Fig. 1a.
  • Survival: change of 1 percentage point, 95% CI −3 to 5; Fig. 1b.
  • There is no demonstrated survival improvement. No P value or mechanism is supplied.
  • Keep all numbers, units, confidence intervals and figure references.
  • No other manuscript sections or editable figure files are available.
  • Revise only this Results paragraph. Do not create experiments, citations or extra sections.

An illustrative reference revision, not a recorded live agent execution or a comparative benchmark. “No demonstrated survival benefit” does not mean “no effect.”

COPYABLE REQUEST
Use paper-workflow. Read examples/first-run/draft.md and examples/first-run/evidence.md. Revise only the Results paragraph using the supplied evidence. Write the revision to examples/first-run/revised.md and briefly explain the material changes. Preserve measured values and figure references.

Preserve the measurements

Keep the independent unit, both effect sizes and confidence intervals, and Fig. 1a/1b. Do not turn cultures into cells or invent a P value.

Correct the unsupported conclusion

The marker-expression finding stays. A demonstrated survival improvement or an untested mechanism must not be written into the paragraph.

Stay within the task

Only one paragraph is in scope. No full submission audit, invented figures or extra experiments are required to complete this tutorial.

# Synthetic Results excerpt

This fictional example is for learning the workflow. It describes no real study.

Across 12 independent cultures, the treatment increased marker expression by 18% (95% CI 10–26%; Fig. 1a). We carefully verified that this was not simply an arbitrary observation. This result should not be interpreted as evidence that the treatment improves cell survival. Survival changed by 1 percentage point (95% CI −3 to 5; Fig. 1b). These results demonstrate that the treatment improves both marker expression and survival.

# One acceptable revision

This is an illustrative reference output, not a verbatim-output requirement or a recorded model run.

Across 12 independent cultures, the treatment increased marker expression by 18% (95% CI 10–26%; Fig. 1a). Survival changed by 1 percentage point (95% CI −3 to 5; Fig. 1b), with no clear evidence of improved survival. The treatment therefore increased marker expression without a demonstrated survival benefit.

The edit removes reassurance and corrects the unsupported survival claim. It preserves the independent unit, both measured effects, both confidence intervals and both figure references. “No demonstrated benefit” must not become “no effect”: the interval includes changes in both directions.
