An abstract is essentially a mini thesis or paper, as it includes:
introduction/rationale; - reader gets to understand what the paper is about
materials and methods/a study design; - variables and the relationships between them
results/outcomes; - confirms or disagrees with the hypothesis being tested/
discussion/summary- researchers opinion, limitations ,and research gaps
helps clearly define what is important and identify the main elements or findings of thesis or paper should highlight
Assembling a reasonable abstract with the key points for all of these sections before writing the whole thesis or paper becomes a very good outline that sets a solid framework
