Mechanisms¶
- Control Arm Protocol
- A beautifully specified control arm can still be delivered badly or drift, and the protocol itself has no eyes in the field — a per-protocol view can flatter results if deviations are not tracked, which is exactly why intention-to-treat analysis exists as a counterweight.
This sourceExplains that per-protocol exclusions after deviations can bias results, whereas intention-to-treat preserves the randomized comparison.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
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.
