Claims, Evidence and Limits Table From a Research Paper You Paste In

Turn a paper's text into a table of its main claims, the evidence offered and the limits the authors state. Quoted wording and a "not stated" rule keep the table tied to the paper itself.

Your prompt

Read the paper I have pasted or attached and build a claims, evidence and limits table. My reason for reading it: {{reading_purpose}}. My background level: {{background_level}}.
Use only the paper's text and no outside knowledge about the study or the authors. If only part of the paper is present, such as the abstract, say so and limit the table to what is there.
Return a table of 5 to 8 rows for the main claims. Columns: Claim (the authors' words, quoted briefly) | Where it appears (section or page) | Evidence offered (the data, sample or method named in the paper) | Limits the authors state (quoted, or "not stated") | One thing I should check in the paper.
Then add a short list called "Where the wording may go beyond the evidence" that points to specific sentences. Label these as prompts for my own reading, not verdicts. Explain technical terms in plain language for my level. Do not invent numbers, citations or findings, and do not call the paper proven or flawed.
