Claim

From April 2022 to March 2024, the stepped-wedge trial was conducted in 15 German Level I NICUs and consecutively enrolled very-low-birth-weight infants defined as under 1,500 g, excluding lethal malformations, palliative care, and external transfers; its no-difference findings for complications and length of stay were prespecified secondary outcomes rather than systematically collected harms, and their confidence intervals did not exclude clinically relevant differences.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The primary article states the trial period, German Level I NICU setting, VLBW threshold, consecutive enrollment, and exclusions. weight 1.800000 evidence

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

How the number was reached

Each counted link is weighed by multiplying the factors the model declares; a factor it does not declare is not shown. Every factor name below links to what that number means.

prior 0.50 → log-odds 0.000000 + 3.600000 (the counted weights) = 3.600000 → probability 0.9734

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.9255 to 0.9908, a spread of 0.0653.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.
