S​‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌​cenario: During a discussion with a peer, the peer states

S​‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌​cenario: During a discussion with a peer, the peer states that he/she avoids the statistical section of a research article but stating: “Who can understand all those numbers — I just read the abstract!”
Many individuals, have a tendency to avoid statistics by skipping over the statistical results section of a research article. This is unfortunate because the statistical results provide the answer and evidence to the research question that is focu​‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌​sed on improving patient care outcomes.
Please respond to each of the following questions:
Do you skip over the statistical results section of a research article? Why or why not?
What statistical information is used to describe the sample/participants in a research study?
How is the statistical analysis different between a research study and a systemic review from the Cochrane Database?
Why isn’t statistical analysis included in qualitative re​‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌​search?
