Table 1. Field-by-field provenance. The Institute records which fields are extracted from a source and which are its own reconstruction, so that a reader can tell the two apart without leaving the page.
| Field | Provenance | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Design, phase, duration, primary endpoint | Extracted | Reproduced from the published report or the registry record. |
| Randomised participants | Extracted | Reproduced as published. |
| Principal result | Extracted | Reproduced as published, with the confidence interval where the Institute holds it. |
| Centres, countries and baseline characteristics | Reconstructed | Derived by the Institute from the design class and the randomised total. Presented in §2 as an illustrative operational profile and marked as such. These figures are not published characteristics of this trial. |
| Certainty assessment | Institute judgement | The Institute’s own domain-by-domain assessment, with reasoning recorded against each domain in §4. |
| Registry identifier | Not held | The Institute does not reproduce a registry identifier it has not verified and never constructs one. Documents are referenced by the Institute’s own identifier. |
