If you are not that familiar with the detailed mathematical constructions, but want to know about the results of the paper, then you can simply read the statements in "words" and skip the derivations of the mathematical formulas that you see. Simply accept the results as they are stated and think about what they mean to you, and how you can make use of them, but do not worry about the details.
If you later on need to understand more about the details, perhaps because you want to contribute in this area, then you will need to understand also those details that you skipped during the first reading - or "screening" - of the paper.
A comment is needed here: if you know too little about the technical content of the paper, chances are that you may misunderstand the results. A fairly often made mistake is to interpret the results as being broader (such in their applicability) than they really are.
