Description
Compare assessor, blinding and instrument fields with supplied source records.
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.
Compare assessor, blinding and instrument fields with supplied source records.
When to use this tool
Use Chiropractic Research Assessor Source Pair when checking a supplied study-record, evidence-support or timing convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter assessorId, sourceAssessorId, blinded, sourceBlinded, instrument, sourceInstrument. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read assessorMatches, blindingMatches, instrumentMatches. Inspect assessorMatches, blindingMatches, instrumentMatches before interpreting the associated values.
Compare assessor, blinding and instrument fields with supplied source records. Return separate literal/equality flags for assessor ID, blinding Boolean and instrument label.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Matching assertions do not authenticate source data, establish actual blinding or validate a chiropractic research instrument.
- 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.
