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

Registration ID: NCT02876965

Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov

Registry Link: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02876965 (opens in new tab)

Registration Date: 19-08-2016

Prospective:Whether the trial was registered before participant recruitment began Yes

Assessment Rationale:How INSPECT-AI determined the prospective registration status by comparing dates Comparison performed at month level. Registration: 2016-08, LLM Recruitment Start: 2016-08. Deemed prospective at month level.

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

Recruitment Start: 08-2016

Recruitment Start Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment start date Methods: 'from August 2016 to February 2017'. Used start of conducted range as recruitment_start per rule 5; no specific FPI elsewhere.

Recruitment End: N/A

Recruitment End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment end date No explicit end-of-recruitment date after full search.

Study End: 02-2017

Study End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the study end date Methods: 'from August 2016 to February 2017'. Used end of conducted range as study_end_date per rule 5; no specific completion date.

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 resultsNo concerns

Rationale: No integrity concerns based on these first checks
