Editorial method
Read the source boundary
A citation shows why a sentence is there; it does not prove that the finding applies to every reader.
Boundary
General evidence cannot choose a treatment or explain every symptom. Use a relevant guide to record your question, then take new, severe or persistent concerns to qualified care.
