Summarise an Overly Long Research Paper Into Five Actionable Insights
The paper is forty pages and the abstract is promising but the finding you actually need is buried in the discussion section. This extracts five insights in plain English, each with the evidence base and a concrete application to your context, plus the caveats that stop you overapplying a single study.

**Summarise** this paper into five actionable insights. For each insight:
1. State the finding in plain English, one sentence, no jargon
2. Explain the evidence basis in one sentence (what did the study actually measure or test)
3. Give one concrete application to {READER_CONTEXT}
4. Note any important caveat, limitation, or condition on the finding
</task>
<output_format>
- Five numbered insights, each in four-part structure: finding, evidence, application, caveat
- After the five insights: one sentence on what is NOT answered by this paper that a follow-up search should address
- Length: [350 to 500] words
- Tone: direct and practical, no academic hedging
- If the pasted text is insufficient to extract five distinct insights, state how many are supportable and explain what additional sections are needed
