This part of your poster is the most similar to an essay or report you might've written before. It's where you talk about how your results compare to the research you did in your literature review, and what your results might mean. These are the basic ideas you'd want to discuss:
① Examine the results from your study and consider how they relate to your research question, Which results did you expect? Which results did you not expect?
② Think about how your results compare to the literature that you explored for your literature review. How do your results compare to existing studies? What are the similarities? What are the differences?
③ Consider what these similarities and differences suggest. What do similarities between your results and those of other researchers mean? What might be some reasons for any differences that you’ve observed? Are there any interesting implications to note?
This section could also be called your 'Conclusion'. It answers the question 'so what?'.
It doesn't have to be really long, but make sure you mention each of your main results, whether they were expected or not, and connect them to what the research says. Draw a connection to the real world and what impact this information could have. Suggest some future areas of research that you'd like to see done (or do yourself next year!).
Opening Paragraph: Provide an answer to your research question and state your most important results.
Body Paragraphs: Talk about how your results are similar or different to previous studies. You'd usually do a paragraph for each result.

Concluding Paragraph: Talk about any limitations your study had and any future research that could be done in the area, maybe with a different population answering any new questions you came across while researching.
