What a finding is

A finding is one question about a wearable measurement, such as whether a smartwatch blood oxygen reading matches arterial blood, rated against every study KnowYourPrime has scored for it. The record states the question, the rating, a plain answer, the key numbers, what the finding does and does not cover, its limitations and the full list of studies with their roles. The long-form analysis behind each finding sits on its research desk, linked from the finding; the Registry is the citable record of where that analysis stands.

How ratings are set

Each study is assigned a role for the claim: an anchor the rating can rest on, a supporting study, a conflicting study or a null result. A fixed rule turns those roles into one of five ratings, so the same evidence always produces the same rating. The rule and its version are shown on every finding.

• EstablishedStrong, consistent evidence supports the claim.
• EmergingEvidence currently favors the claim, but more confirmation is needed.
• UncertainEvidence is conflicting, inconsistent, or difficult to interpret.
• InsufficientToo little evidence exists to reach a conclusion.
• UnsupportedExisting evidence does not support the claim.

The full rule is set out in the methodology and how KnowYourPrime interprets evidence.

Versions, review dates and corrections

A finding always carries the current rating on its research desk. When the evidence moves the rating, the finding gets a new major version (2.0, 3.0); when its text is revised, a new minor version (1.1, 1.2). Each version is dated and says what changed, and earlier versions stay listed. Errors are corrected the same way, as a new dated version, and can be reported to corrections@knowyourprime.com.

How to cite a finding

Every finding prints its own completed citation line, and the same line appears in its JSON and Markdown versions. Cite the page URL, not the JSON or Markdown file.
