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
- access: abstract
Knee osteoarthritis — strength
- current access: abstract
- verification depth: abstract
The abstract confirms the sample and concurrent-versus-prior distinction, including prior -4.5% versus -4.3%, p=.87. Flexor findings are null. The report’s scope is appropriate.
Source locator: Primaryabstract
Limitations: Source-group appraisal. A supported source group does not turn every generic clinical recommendation into a validated decision rule.
