Case 11 — An evidence table with room for negative findings

Limit of the answer in “An evidence table with room for negative findings”: “Include all prespecified outcomes where reported, null…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification. A reader needs the relevant original material before treating an interpretation as established. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 11 — An evidence table with room for negative findings

Correction note for “An evidence table with room for negative findings”: retain the wording beginning “Include all prespecified outcomes where reported, null…” in the record.

Case 12 — Comparing laboratory methods across years

Two results were collected years apart with unknown method changes. What should be clarified?

Exercise RESEARCH-30919/12: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 12 — Comparing laboratory methods across years

Ask whether assay, instrument, units or reference intervals changed and retain both original reports. Do not infer a physiological trend before assessing measurement comparability with a clinician.

Case 12 — Comparing laboratory methods across years

Clarification for “Comparing laboratory methods across years”: the point beginning “Ask whether assay, instrument, units or reference intervals changed…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 12 — Comparing laboratory methods across years

Method note for “Comparing laboratory methods across years”: use “Ask whether assay, instrument, units or reference intervals changed…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 13 — Retractions and expressions of concern in an archive

A cited article now has an editorial notice. How should the archive respond?

Exercise RESEARCH-30919/13: address this question within its stated limits.

Case 13 — Retractions and expressions of concern in an archive

Link the publisher notice beside the citation, record its date and reassess claims that relied on the paper. Do not leave the historical citation looking like unqualified current support.
