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: 01-2013
Recruitment Start Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment start date Methods: 'It was performed from January 2013 to December 2014.' 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 direct LPI; range end is not used for recruitment_finish.
Study End: 12-2014
Study End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the study end date Methods: 'It was performed from January 2013 to December 2014.' 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?
Rationale: No judgement could be made as no trial ID ?registered
