How the results relates to the discussion section

This is getting a little ahead of ourselves, but, I was asked a question as to what to do with so-called "straggler sources": sources that don't exactly belong in the results section of the paper, but are interesting enough to keep. Save them. Don't think that everything, every source, really, belongs in the results section. Not every source does. The purpose of the discussion section is ask whether x is consistent with y.

x = the 11th result.
y = the field of public health in general, or, in this case, whatever else you know and find interesting. this is also where the A Very Short Introduction to Public Health will come in handy.

Or, is

x, when x = my 10 results, plus my own conclusion as to their broader meaning, how does x fit in with y, when  y = everything else I know about public health, or about the world in general
