Osteopathic Study Cointervention Flag

Combine explicit cointervention and exclusion flags without deciding trial eligibility or interpreting effects.

Description

Flag a reported cointervention excluded under a supplied protocol assertion.

Research and visit records distinguish quoted claims, observation codes, comparator descriptions, raters and recorded cointerventions. A metadata link or protocol-review flag is not evidence of efficacy or a validated clinical finding. Time labels and coordinate offsets preserve supplied conventions without assessing a person or recommending an intervention.

Flag a reported cointervention excluded under a supplied protocol assertion.

When to use this tool

Use Osteopathic Study Cointervention Flag when you already have studyId, cointerventionReported, excludedByProtocol and need to flag a reported cointervention excluded under a supplied protocol assertion.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter studyId, cointerventionReported, excludedByProtocol. 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 requiresProtocolReview. Inspect requiresProtocolReview before interpreting the associated values.

Require studyId nonempty; requiresProtocolReview=cointerventionReported && excludedByProtocol.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • The protocol assertion is supplied; no treatment effectiveness, actual deviation or appropriate participant care is determined.
  • 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

Review original research protocols, comparator definitions and recorded observations for study interpretation. Assess reported findings and efficacy through the relevant evidence rather than treating a preserved claim, rater order or visit-duration label as validation.
