Supporting Evidence (2)

Clinical Trial RegistrationSource: Clinical trial registry (e.g. ClinicalTrials.gov, ISRCTN)

No trial registration found

Assessment Rationale:How INSPECT-AI determined the prospective registration status by comparing dates Registry registration date (study_first_submit_qc_date) is missing or empty.

Study Design EvidenceDates and timelines extracted by INSPECT-AI from the publication text

Recruitment Start: 09-2012

Recruitment Start Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment start date Data collection took place in the period September 2012 to October 2013, depending on the association; September 2012 is used as recruitment start date.

Recruitment End: 10-2013

Recruitment End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment end date Data collection took place in the period September 2012 to October 2013, depending on the association; October 2013 is used as recruitment finish date.

Study End: N/A

Study End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the study end date No explicit study end date found.

Overall — What is the overall integrity assessment of the study?

Automated Assessment:Assessment produced by the automated systemN/A

Human Assessment:Assessment by a domain expert reviewer, informed by AI resultsSome concerns

Rationale: Some concerns due to the lack of information about trial registration
