Technical paper or excerpt: {{paper}}
Target reader: {{reader}}
Rewrite the core of the paper in plain language for the target reader, covering: the question it answers, how the researchers approached it, what they found, how confident we should be, and why it matters. Define any term that must be kept.
Preserve the actual findings and their limitations precisely. Do not exaggerate certainty or impact. End with a one-line "what this does NOT show" to prevent overreading. Note any place where the simplification loses an important nuance.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
