Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Total hip arthroplasty
- current access class: original_body_or_pdf_available
- source version note: Version and incomplete-table limitations preserved in evidence notes.
42 screened, 28 enrolled, 25 analyzed; 20 hip/5 knee, 4 fractures; 11.96 days baseline; 4 week rehab. Simultaneous clinician/app assessment. Chair 43.2 cm with cushions, anterior-thigh phone. Figure 8 shows zero chair-count differences. Walking Figs 6–7 show nonzero bias and dispersed limits; plotted units insufficiently clear.
Source locator: Methods Outcomes; Results characteristics/TableI; Figs 5–8 visually inspected; TableII
Limitations: Example slow-walk T1 plot mean−10.68, LoA−25.82 to 4.46 in displayed units. Do not convert to m/s without resolving axes. Figure 5 T1 lower-bound legend appears to omit minus sign. Substantive original material obtained; this is not proof of original report author access or every table/supplement being inspected.
