Main unresolved issue: 2 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:33db6cf4-06b9-86f7-b381-9c9d0fc551aa

Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 0 of 4 review checks have been done.A quoted passage from scienmag.com was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.

Why?

Strongest counted support: The report gives a pooled odds ratio of 1.94 but explicitly grades certainty very low and cautions that association does not establish causation. weight 1.800000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The passage directly reports the pooled association and the review's very-low-certainty caution.

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

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

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.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
