How to evaluate Jmeter readings of a Load Test?

I have written a Jmeter script in which I am calling some APIs of my test environment and capturing the results in Summary Report Listener. Now what I observed is for the same build and same environment with same number of users the readings are different as shown in the screenshot below. enter image description here enter image description here Can any one help me in how to conclude these readings or am I doing anything wrong

I don't think running the "test" with 2 users and 1 iteration (or vice versa) can give you the results you can "evaluate" and/or "conclude" (whatever it means)

If you're looking for the meaning of the numbers check out JMeter Glossary and Understanding Your Reports: Part 1 - What are KPIs? articles.

If you're looking for the reason of results differences - you should look at the APM tool which is attached to your application (if it is), if not - re-run your test against the application with profiler tool telemetry attached - this way you will identify the differences between processing JMeter requests on the server side.

And last but not the least, I would recommend running your test with increased number of users/iterations as single request response time may vary depending on different factors including operating system, routers, weather, sunspots, etc. and look at i.e. 90 percentile
