Label

What the source claims

Report

A stated tested sample

Experiment

A defined system and comparison

Registration

A separate study record

Original source-role map. Arrows do not rank quality or imply a treatment effect; no study outcomes are plotted.

Begin with the reading task

Ask whether you need a label statement, a sample measurement, a study record or an experimental result. These questions need different checks.

Retain the study system

Write down whether a record describes people, animals or cells, together with the stated preparation and outcome. A model observation is not a direct observation in a different system.

Count identities carefully

In the fictional example, one paper carries two system tags. The tags do not create two independent paper identities. Follow the source rather than counting each placement as new evidence.

Fictional worked example

Fictional evidence-sorting task

Four invented records describe a vendor label, a tested sample, a cell experiment and a study registration. No clinical result or real paper is invented.

  1. Match a label claim to its original listing.
  2. Match a sample measurement to its report and method.
  3. Keep experimental system and registry status separate from human treatment and retail-lot claims.
What remains unknown?

A cell experiment and a listing do not establish that a retail product works in people.

Keep these actions

  • Name the question before choosing a source.
  • Preserve the study system and unique identity.
  • A source tag is not a product endorsement.

Practice, then revise

Choose an answer and check the explanation. Incorrect answers remain revisable. A check attempt is not mastery or a credential.

Recognize the boundary

A fictional experiment tests cells. Which claim does that directly support?

Read the supported answer and reasoning

Its observed result in those experimental conditions Correct: stay within the experimental system.

Apply it to the example

One fictional paper has both animal and cell tags. How many paper identities are represented?

Read the supported answer and reasoning

One paper with two system tags Correct: retain one identity and both tags.
