How certainty is labelled in the text

Claims across the clinical modules carry a plain-language certainty label rather than being dressed uniformly in a lab coat. The five labels are used consistently:

Established Emerging Mechanistically plausible Practice-based synthesis Data insufficient
Why limitations are printed

A citation that hides its own weaknesses is a rhetorical device, not a reference. Every record below states what its source cannot support, so a sceptical reader can audit the reasoning rather than take it on trust.
