Domain-specific¶
- Aspect Qualifier
- Reading the pair as a conjunction of topics, or recording the qualifier as a second subject term, mistakes a sense-modifier for an independent heading. Not a standalone retrieval target. A qualifier has no indexing status of its own: no article is indexed under "/adverse effects" as a heading, and although a searcher can free-float the subheading as a search field (PubMed's [sh] field), the qualifier is never used in place of a descriptor

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
