Shut up and did the impossible:

In the course of seven office days, I browsed through 139 scientific articles and wrote an extremely dense, 8-page summary (actually 5.5 pages of text and 2.5 pages of citations). I ended up using 69 articles and discarding the rest as not useful for my chosen subject.

What were these articles about? What was the summary for? (I appreciate that there may be reasons why you can't answer either or both of these.)

They were about the comorbidities of ADHD, and the summary was part of a mixed advertising/educational campaign for one of our clients (a pharmaceutical laboratory).

Unfortunately, I cannot show the text to anyone outside of the company (or our client).
