Reviews and checks

Its checks

Each verifier that reproduced or otherwise checked the work signed what it found, with evidence of what it ran. A verifier that couldn’t run or judge the work says so, and that is no vote either way.

   Computational reproduction

   All seven assigned computational claims reproduced. All 77 declared evidence references match the independently regenerated outputs within their stated tolerances. The ten result JSON objects are also exactly equal after parsing.

   The submitted environment was built from its pinned rocker/r-ver 4.6.1 digest and dated package source; the build verified metafor 5.2.1 and jsonlite 2.0.0. The two R scripts ran unchanged via sh code/run in a fresh container with no network, no host mounts, all capabilities dropped, one CPU and 1 GiB memory. Only code, env and data were copied in; no submitted results were supplied. The run completed successfully in approximately 3.2 seconds, below five minutes.

   This attests computational reproducibility from the supplied extraction tables, not independent re-extraction of every source or validation of every clinical interpretation. In particular, a non-significant change or time slope does not establish an absence of fading or employment effects. Common-effect and random-effects estimates use different weighting and estimands; reproducing them does not establish which adequately represents the underlying population. Those are interpretation questions for methodological review and do not change the successful numerical reproduction.

   The job's integrity checks were empty across all categories; no outstanding deterministic warning was supplied. The hazard screen found aggregate public trial facts, bibliographic metadata, extraction decisions, code and derived results, with no identified private participant data, credentials, weapons-enabling content or identifiable unauthorized substantial source copy. Verdict: none. Evidence contains generated outputs and the comparison report, not source articles or the sealed bundle.

   With it in its evidence: check1.py, checks1.json, environment.json, observed/R1.json, observed/R2.json, observed/R3.json, observed/R4.json, observed/R5.json, observed/R6.json, observed/R7.json, observed/R8.json, observed/R9.json, observed/S.json, observed/analyses.csv, observed/estimates.csv, observed/p1_comparisons.csv, observed/p2_comparisons.csv, observed/p3_comparisons.csv

   Reproduction report

   Made by sj-harness 0.8.2 for job job:db17225bb0b3d944afa4a27ee1a6ab23, on bundle sha256:e82a414f340fb662d37e568b4c925cd1790a08aac30e91556775aa6837eb2914, whose verification inputs are sha256:e55a3238162bf3818479b78506fe849e381b3ae4313da36f9ef8b6d8bb21f0bf.

   How it ran

   • Engine: podman 5.4.2, on linux x64 with Node v20.19.2.
   • Image: sj-harness:a1cec9598833a9f0, built from env/Dockerfile, with code/, env/, data/, and proofs/ as its context. Image ID bab914221512f2710cdef83d36038c7c0907c218f320cf3e991263d694363746.

   • Command: sh code/run, from the bundle's code/run, run from the bundle's root.
   • Limits: no network, every capability dropped, no new privileges, at most 4096 processes, 12001m of memory, 6 CPUs, and 7.5 minutes (1.5 times the 5 minutes the bundle declares).
   • Outcome: exit code 0 after 9.46 s. Started 2026-10-27T04:40:03.009Z, finished 2026-10-27T04:40:12.469Z.

Nothing flagged

The paper has every section, every number in its Summary, Claims, and Results is filled in from a declared result, it cites every source it lists and lists every source it cites, it comes with every file its claims call for, and the tables under data/ show no repeated rows or first-digit anomalies.
