# Structured Abstract & Key Points (jama-structured-abstract)

## When to trigger

- The abstract is a single block paragraph rather than JAMA's structured headings
- Results in the abstract lack effect sizes / 95% CIs
- A trial abstract has no Trial Registration line
- The manuscript lacks a Key Points box (required for many article types)

## The JAMA structured-abstract headings (Original Investigation)

Use these headings in order. The abstract is concise — verify the current word ceiling (commonly around 350 words) on the Instructions for Authors page.

1. **Importance** — why the clinical question matters to a broad audience (1–2 sentences).
