Description
Return attended/planned, or zero with defined=false when planned=0.
Acupuncture research records distinguish reporting completeness, source editions, treatment-contact labels, outcome direction and missing-outcome scenarios. These tools organize benign study or public-source metadata; they do not provide treatment instructions, locate intervention sites or determine safety or efficacy. Reporting support and clinical evidence are different questions.
Return attended/planned, or zero with defined=false when planned=0.
When to use this tool
Use Trial Session Attendance Share when checking the stated benign study-record, public-source or reporting convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter attended, planned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read share, defined. Inspect defined before interpreting the associated values.
Require whole 0<=attended<=planned. Return attended/planned, or zero with defined=false when planned=0.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| attended | Attended | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| planned | Planned | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| share | Dimensionless share using the operation-specific denominator stated above; not a percentage number. | Required. Finite number. |
| defined | Whether the corresponding reporting denominator/value is defined; inspect before interpreting zero placeholders. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Session records do not establish treatment efficacy, adequate care or adherence to a clinical recommendation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the original protocol, registry, reports and appropriate complete research methods; consult qualified health professionals for actual care or clinical interpretation.
