Direct answer
Structured Abstract, in this definition, is limited to the following inspected scope. Context, purpose, procedures, main findings, effect sizes, conclusions, limitations, and consistency. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Term boundaries and disambiguation
Use the term only for the source-backed scope stated here; keep adjacent concepts separate unless a typed relationship is explicit.
A useful definition states both inclusion and exclusion conditions so a machine answer cannot silently widen it.
Applied scope: Context, purpose, procedures, main findings, effect sizes, conclusions, limitations, and consistency.

What the evidence does not establish
