For me during (CS) literature reviews it's generally:

1) Title: My research usually starts with a Google Scholar check and going through 4-5 pages and marking everything to Zotero based on title only. I only go through other databases once I exhausted the most interesting GS stuff.

2) Abstract -> Conclusions: If it fits it goes onto the to read stack with a self written 2 line summary of why I included it...I usually start sub-topic stacks at this point

3) Quick browse the methods section and figures/tables etc.

4) Complete read.

If I'm in the beginning of a literature review I also read the sources and marker everything that sounds interesting to add later.
