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.

Parkinson’s disease — balance

Balance P60/P94–96: same cohort explicitly stated, Brief six-month AUC .88 (.74–.94),sens.71,spec.87,cutoff<=11/24;Mini<=20/32. OriginalTable3 visually checked. Prospective horizon comparison does not prove a screening interval reduces falls. Source locator: PMC3613340 Method, Procedure, Data Analysis, Results and original Table3 audit evidence record Limit: No external validation; claim comparison limited to listed paragraphs.

Limitations: Only scoped comparisons, not whole-paper certification.
