I read the abstract, in reverse order. Discussion and Results first.
If it seems plausible ( much research is trash, churned out to pad a CV ) and interesting, then I scan the Methods section.
This heuristic helps classify 95% as utter trash or outside my current area of interest in less than 10 seconds.
If it seems seriously interesting, I then read the full text the same way ie: backwards.
At no point do I want pretty visualisations made by wannbe PhD candidates, full of misinterpretations, wishful thinking or outright fraud.
