Domain-specific

• External Validity
  • The mature treatment of the problem — in Pearl and Bareinboim's transportability theory and in the PICOTS framing of clinical-trials methodology — converts the validity question from a binary to a structured one: which effect-modifying features must be matched or adjusted for in the target for the estimated effect to transport, and which features are demonstrably irrelevant to the effect and therefore safe to vary

    This sourceThe PICOTS framing is clinical-trials methodology and is not in this paper.

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? 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.
