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.

Knee osteoarthritis — strength
- current access: fulltext_pmc_html
- verification depth: tables
The original body and tables support approximately 4% absolute and 6% normalized between-person strength differences. Longitudinal confirmation was explicitly requested; this is not a within-person MIC.
Source locator: Methods;Results;Tables1-5
Limitations: Source-group appraisal. A supported source group does not turn every generic clinical recommendation into a validated decision rule.
