This means the Abstract Review Committee saw value in your work and would likely have accepted it if some required conditions had been met or minor improvements made. These are usually small issues, including staying within the word count, ensuring the submission is in abstract format, clarifying whether appropriate research reporting guidelines have been followed, or including a PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) flowchart where applicable. With these minor changes made, and following further review by the Abstract Review Committee, the abstract is likely to be accepted for presentation at the conference. Changes can be made by logging back into Oxford Abstracts using the same email address you registered with, opening your submission, and making the required updates.

1) The absence of any results at all (or any meaningful results relating to key outcomes); 2) Discrepancies between the stated methods and presented results; 3) Incomplete work; 4) A lack of required detail in the ‘Results’, such as no information on group sizes or statistical analysis; 5) Significantly exceeding the word count.
