Abstract results consistency check
==================================

StatMedAnalysis | Original downloadable worksheet | 6 November 2026

Reconcile the abstract with the final analysis and manuscript.

How to use this worksheet
Check every abstract number against the frozen results table. Verify the population,
denominator, outcome window, effect scale and interval. Compare conclusions with the
primary analysis and uncertainty. Repeat after any manuscript revision that changes the
results.

Save a working copy and keep the original blank version. Use public, hypothetical or
aggregate information only; do not enter patient identifiers, credentials or confidential
records. Keep source evidence in your approved project workspace. Mark unresolved text
fields UNKNOWN or NOT REPORTED with a reason; never substitute zero for an unknown count.

Hypothetical worked case
A fictional abstract retains an earlier sample size after exclusions are corrected in
the main table. The check links both to the same frozen output and prevents inconsistent
reporting.

Decision rule and limitations
Approve only when numerical and interpretive claims match the final results. Do not
highlight a favorable secondary finding as if it were the prespecified primary result.
