Description

Return undeclared funder labels and supplied disclosure/conflict flags.

Health-research records connect study identifiers, source assertions, outcome labels and timing conventions. A coverage count, literal match or recorded interval can expose missing information, while the quality of evidence, actual blinding and treatment effectiveness still require assessment of the original study.

Return undeclared funder labels and supplied disclosure/conflict flags.

When to use this tool

Use Chiropractic Evidence Funding Disclosure Field when checking a supplied study-record, evidence-support or timing convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter funders, declaredFunders, conflicts, disclosurePresent. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read undeclared, disclosed, hasConflict. Inspect disclosed, hasConflict before interpreting the associated values.

Return undeclared funder labels and supplied disclosure/conflict flags. Deduplicate funders absent from declaredFunders; disclosed mirrors disclosurePresent, hasConflict tests a nonempty conflicts list.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • A declaration or list does not verify completeness, identify actual bias or determine a study's clinical credibility.
  • 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.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Read the original research and registration records, appraise study design and bias, and consult qualified health professionals for conclusions that affect care.
