During implementation, 103 studies (43.5%) did not report all 7 methodologic components, 36 (15.2%) used postbaseline information inappropriately for eligibility, only 40 (16.9%) provided follow-up diagrams to define time zero, and only 73 (30.8%) addressed unmeasured confounding.

Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the article’s abstract/results at the source URL, and the article page shows it was published online on February 19, 2026. However, the byline is a multi-author journal article (Yan Ren, Yulong Jia, Lingyan Liu, et al.), so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote by Yan Ren alone.
