 The results presented in the paper did not support these statements in the abstract.
+Nature gives detailed guidelines for how to write a well crafted abstract. See their guide for an annotated abstract (https://www.nature.com/nature/for-authors/formatting-guide).
+    - "One or two sentences providing a **basic introduction** to the field, comprehensible to a scientist in any discipline."
+    - "Two to three sentences of **more detailed background**, comprehensible to scientists in related disciplines."
+    - "One sentence clearly stating the **general problem** being addressed by this particular study."
+    - "One sentence summarizing the main result (with the words “**here we
+show**” or their equivalent)."
+    - "Two or three sentences explaining what the **main result** reveals in direct comparison to what was thought to be the case previously, or how the main result adds to previous knowledge."
+    - "One or two sentences to put the results into a more **general context**."
+    - "Two or three sentences to provide a **broader perspective**, readily comprehensible to a scientist in any discipline [...]."
+In essence you start with a broad introduction, then a more focused introduction, focus in on your question and main result, then move back to a broad perspective of the implications of the result, and then an even broader perspective.
