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 knee arthroplasty

All stated HHD reliability, SEM, paired denominators and agreement values checked. Discussion explicitly reports HHD SRM1.57 (95%CI1.29–1.94) from 2 to 6 weeks, resolving the initial figure-only concern.

Limitations: Body extraction may omit images, equations or supplements. Metadata publication year may represent online-first date, not issue year. Article access does not prove every table/figure/supplement was examined. Use the claim ledger and explicit source locators; do not count this inventory as a complete assertion-level audit.
