ACADEMIC PHRASE BANK MASTERPOST: DISCUSSING FINDINGS
Background information: reference to literature or to research aim/question
Several reports have shown that âŚ
As mentioned in the literature review, âŚ
The third question in this research was âŚ
Prior studies that have noted the importance of âŚ
An initial objective of the project was to identify âŚ
The first question in this study sought to determine âŚ
It was hypothesised that participants with a history of âŚ
Very little was found in the literature on the question of âŚ
The present study was designed to determine the effect of âŚ
With respect to the first research question, it was found that âŚ
This study set out with the aim of assessing the importance of X in âŚ
Previous studies evaluating X observed inconsistent results on whether âŚ
A strong relationship between X and Y has been reported in the literature.
In reviewing the literature, no data was found on the association between X and Y.
Statements of result: usually with reference to results section
One interesting finding is âŚ
The current study found that âŚ
Another important finding was that âŚ
The most interesting finding was that âŚ
In this study, Xs were found to cause âŚ
The results of this study show/indicate that âŚ
On the question of X, this study found that âŚ
This experiment did not detect any evidence for âŚ
The most important clinically relevant finding was âŚ
X provided the largest set of significant clusters of âŚ
It is interesting to note that in all seven cases of this study âŚ
The most obvious finding to emerge from the analysis is that âŚ
In the current study, comparing X with Y showed that the mean degree of âŚ
The results of this study did not show that âŚ/did not show any significant increase in âŚ
Surprisingly, X was found to âŚ.
What is surprising is that âŚ.
One unanticipated finding was that âŚ.
Surprisingly, no differences were found in âŚ.
This finding was unexpected and suggests that âŚ.
It is somewhat surprising that no X was noted in this condition âŚ.
Contrary to expectations, this study did not find a significant difference between âŚ.
However, the observed difference between X and Y in this study was not significant.
However, the ANOVA (one way) showed that these results were not statistically significant.
Reference to previous research: support
Reference to previous research: contrast
This study has been unable to demonstrate that âŚ
However, this result has not previously been described.
In contrast to earlier findings, however, no evidence of X was detected.
Smith et al. (1999) showed that âŚ. This differs from the findings presented here âŚ
However, the findings of the current study do not support the previous research.
It has been suggested that ⌠(Smith et al., 2002). This does not appear to be the case.
These results differ from Xâs 2003 estimate of Y, but they are broadly consistent with earlier âŚ
Although, these results differ from some published studies (Smith, 1992; Jones, 1996), they are consistent with those of âŚ
A possible explanation for this might be that âŚ
Another possible explanation for this is that âŚ
This result may be explained by the fact that âŚ
There are, however, other possible explanations.
These relationships may partly be explained by âŚ
There are several possible explanations for this result.
A possible explanation for these results may be the lack of adequate âŚ
These differences can be explained in part by the proximity of X and Y.
These factors may explain the relatively good correlation between X and Y.
This inconsistency may be due to âŚ
These results are likely to be related to âŚ
This discrepancy could be attributed to âŚ
It seems possible that these results are due to âŚ
This rather contradictory result may be due to âŚ
The observed increase in X could be attributed to âŚ
It is difficult to explain this result, but it might be related to âŚ
The possible interference of X cannot be ruled out.
It may be that these participants benefitted from âŚ
Differences between X and Y may have influenced âŚ
These possible sources of error could have affected âŚ
There are two likely causes for the differences between âŚ
The reason for this is not clear but it may have something to do with âŚ
The observed correlation between X and Y might be explained in this way:âŚ
Since this difference has not been found elsewhere it is probably not due toâŚ
Advising cautious interpretation
Another source of uncertainty is âŚ
A note of caution is due here since âŚ
These findings may be somewhat limited by âŚ
These findings cannot be extrapolated to all patients.
These data must be interpreted with caution because âŚ
It could be argued that the positive results were due to âŚ
These results therefore need to be interpreted with caution.
In observational studies, there is a potential for bias from âŚ
It is important to bear in mind the possible bias in these responses.
Although exclusion of X did not âŚ, these results should be interpreted with caution.
However, with a small sample size, caution must be applied, as the findings might not be âŚ
Suggesting general hypotheses
It is possible, therefore, that âŚ
It can thus be suggested that âŚ
In general, therefore, it seems that âŚ
It may be the case therefore that these variations âŚ
It is therefore likely that such connections exist between âŚ
It is possible to hypothesise that these conditions are less likely to occur inâŚ
These findings suggest that âŚ
According to these data, we can infer that âŚ
This observation may support the hypothesis that âŚ
Hence, it could conceivably be hypothesised that âŚ
The value of X suggests that a weak link may exist between âŚ
These results provide further support for the hypothesis that âŚ
Therefore, X could be a major factor, if not the only one, causing âŚ
It can therefore be assumed that the âŚ
An implication of this is the possibility that âŚ
The present study raises the possibility that âŚ
One of the issues that emerges from these findings is âŚ
Some of the issues emerging from this finding relate specifically to âŚ
These findings may help us to understand âŚ
This finding, while preliminary, suggests that .âŚ
This finding has important implications for developing âŚ
This observational study suggests that a diet rich in X may help prevent âŚ
These findings raise intriguing questions regarding the nature and extent of âŚ
This combination of findings provides some support for the conceptual premise that âŚ
These findings are rather disappointing.
However, these results were not very encouraging.
The test was successful as it was able to identify students who âŚ
The present results are significant in at least two major respects.
The results of this study do not explain the occurrence of these adverse events.
These findings will doubtless be much scrutinised, but there are some immediately dependable conclusions for âŚ
Suggestions for future work
This is an important issue for future research.
Research questions that could be asked include âŚ
There are still many unanswered questions about âŚ
Several questions remain unanswered at present.
Despite these promising results, questions remain.
Further work is required to establish the viability ofâŚ
Further research should be undertaken to investigate the âŚ
There is abundant room for further progress in determining âŚ
A further study with more focus on X is therefore suggested.
Future studies on the current topic are therefore recommended.
In further research, the use of this data as X could be a means of âŚ
To develop a full picture of X additional studies will be needed that âŚ
In future investigations, it might be possible to use a different X in which âŚ
Further studies, which take these variables into account, will need to be undertaken.
However, more research on this topic needs to be undertaken before the association between X and Y is more clearly understood.
