When a strong association does not license an effect claim
A dual-track reanalysis of PM2.5 and life expectancy that preserves the observed association but stops before an unsupported causal conclusion.

GHEAS opens the work before the answer: protocols, searches, contradictions, uncertainty and the exact point where a claim becomes ready.

A dual-track reanalysis of PM2.5 and life expectancy that preserves the observed association but stops before an unsupported causal conclusion.
An independent reanalysis of a drinking-water arsenic information trial—and a transparent example of how modelling choices can change the scientific story.
Country-year evidence, dual-track design checks and an explicit boundary between association and causation.
A systematic review and Meta-analysis asking not only what prior studies report, but how design, measurement and transparency shape the answer.
The count describes the search, not the answer. Every record must pass a traceable decision path before any pooled estimate is calculated.

No pooled result until the evidence is locked
A deliberately balanced practice set tests the difficult boundaries before all 7,091 records are screened. It is not the number of included studies.
Publication type does not change whether a record enters the topic search. It changes how that record can contribute after screening.
Primary studies and published Meta-analyses enter under the same topic search.
Primary estimates are synthesized; prior reviews are mapped and compared.
A published pooled estimate is never mixed with its underlying studies.
A missing result stays visibly missing until the required evidence exists.
