Stored-material review date: 2026-10-06  
Original evidence cut-off: 2026-09-08  
Review-criteria version: 1.1  
Public page/material preparation date: 2026-10-25

Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: ASA I–II adult women undergoing elective major gynecologic laparotomy under general anesthesia. Detailed eligibility and baseline nausea risk remain unverified.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: Oral dried ginger powder from Zingiber officinale Roscoe rhizome. The Khao-la-o Laboratories product name is distinguished from verified supply, support or funding.
- Dose: 2 capsules of 500 mg; a single 1 g dose 1 hour before surgery. Actual ingestion, adherence and timing deviations remain unverified.
- Comparator: Appearance- and odor-matched lactose placebo with the same anesthesia and rescue care. Actual drugs, doses, arm-specific use and handling remain unverified.
- Measured outcome: The proportion reporting any nausea within 24 postoperative hours. This is distinct from nausea episodes, scores, severity, vomiting and composite PONV.
- Duration: A single preoperative administration with 24 hours of postoperative follow-up. Delayed nausea, long-term results and other populations are separate questions.
- Questions outside this scope: Null statements about vomiting/composite PONV are not changed into an effect of 0 or equivalence for nausea incidence.; Nausea scores at 2, 6 and 12 hours differ in time and measure from the proportion affected within 24 hours.; Rescue-medication results are distinguished from claims of replacing prophylactic antiemetics.; Results from cesarean delivery or other surgery/anesthesia are not counted as independent same-condition replications.; Nausea prevention is not expanded into aspiration prevention, long-term safety or individual preoperative dosing advice.; The single 1 g dried-powder question is not converted into superiority claims about other formulations, doses or repeated regimens.

Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific conditions/application records were read. Linked external abstracts, full texts, registration and planning material remain unread, with no access attempt.

- Current findings: The original advice prioritizes the surgical team's judgment for anticoagulant/antiplatelet use. Actual bleeding/interactions and concomitant-use denominators are unverified in the retained summary.
- Why unverified: Advice is different from verified effects or incidence of harms during concomitant use.
- Reason for missing information: Direct event/exposure data on concomitant drugs, baseline risk and bleeding/interactions are unverified.
- Required materials and conditions: Concomitant drugs, baseline risk, bleeding/interactions and exposure data
- Materials to obtain first: Original reports, plans and linked documents for Concomitant drugs, baseline risk, bleeding/interactions and exposure data. First establish whether currently unverified material exists and has been acquired.
- Further research: Material needed: Original reports, plans and linked documents for Concomitant drugs, baseline risk, bleeding/interactions and exposure data. First establish whether currently unverified material exists and has been acquired. This records needed materials; no new research was executed.
- Conditions for verification: Distinguish original caution advice from unverified interaction/harm magnitudes.
- Why this condition is needed: Distinguish original caution advice from unverified interaction/harm magnitudes. Without this distinction, populations, endpoints and denominators for the selected nausea outcome within 24 h could be mixed with other results.
- Application exceptions: Do not estimate new bleeding rates or interaction effects or establish safety.
- Remaining uncertainty: Do not infer risk magnitude, interaction effects or safety.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, support and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap's own application.

### N34 · Are harm denominators and observation losses verified?

Verification status: Unverified  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific conditions/application records were read. Linked external abstracts, full texts, registration and planning material remain unread, with no access attempt.

- Current findings: Beyond the nausea event denominators of 29/60 versus 40/60, the current summary provides no overall harm, bleeding or aspiration events/exposure time or collection losses.
- Why unverified: An efficacy-endpoint denominator does not replace an incidence denominator for a separate harm.
- Reason for missing information: Harm-specific events, denominators, time and collection/follow-up losses are unverified.
- Required materials and conditions: Arm-specific people/events with harms, exposure time, collection, missingness and discontinuation
- Materials to obtain first: Original reports, plans and linked documents for Arm-specific people/events with harms, exposure time, collection, missingness and discontinuation. First establish whether currently unverified material exists and has been acquired.
- Further research: Material needed: Original reports, plans and linked documents for Arm-specific people/events with harms, exposure time, collection, missingness and discontinuation. First establish whether currently unverified material exists and has been acquired. This records needed materials; no new research was executed.
- Conditions for verification: Distinguish nausea event denominators from denominators for overall harms, bleeding or aspiration incidence.
- Why this condition is needed: Distinguish nausea event denominators from denominators for overall harms, bleeding or aspiration incidence. Without this distinction, populations, endpoints and denominators for the selected nausea outcome within 24 h could be mixed with other results.
- Application exceptions: Do not read 29/60 versus 40/60 as denominators/incidence for ginger-attributed adverse effects.
- Remaining uncertainty: Do not reverse nausea-prevention event counts into frequencies of ginger-attributed adverse effects.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, support and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap's own application.

### N35 · Are efficacy comparisons distinguished from harm signals and causation?

Verification status: Met  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific conditions/application records were read. Linked external abstracts, full texts, registration and planning material remain unread, with no access attempt.

- Current findings: The current comparison concerns nausea-prevention efficacy against placebo. Original C46, caution, the historical I1/axes and cross-check wording are retained without converting them into ginger-caused nausea or a new safety judgment.
- Why unverified: The direction of efficacy versus harm signals/causation and current interpretation limits are distinguished.
- Reason for missing information: Separate harm comparisons, denominators, times and alternative causes remain unverified under the relevant conditions.
- Required materials and conditions: The placebo comparison of nausea within 24 h and separate harm, timing, alternative-cause and safety scopes
- Materials to obtain first: Original reports, plans and linked documents for The placebo comparison of nausea within 24 h and separate harm, timing, alternative-cause and safety scopes. First establish whether currently unverified material exists and has been acquired.
- Further research: Material needed: Original reports, plans and linked documents for The placebo comparison of nausea within 24 h and separate harm, timing, alternative-cause and safety scopes. First establish whether currently unverified material exists and has been acquired. This records needed materials; no new research was executed.
- Conditions for verification: Do not reverse comparative nausea reduction into a signal that ginger causes nausea.
- Why this condition is needed: Do not reverse comparative nausea reduction into a signal that ginger causes nausea. Without this distinction, populations, endpoints and denominators for the selected nausea outcome within 24 h could be mixed with other results.
- Application exceptions: Do not use historical C46/caution/cross-check wording as a new efficacy/safety grade or independent clinical certification.
- Remaining uncertainty: Model self-review and original-byte/hash checks do not establish independent clinical certification.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, support and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap's own application.

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Partial information from the stored summary is linked; detailed originals and content review remain incomplete.
- Unverified: Required details cannot be established within the preserved scope. This does not establish absence of effects or studies, or safety.
- Review incomplete: Review of existing content remains incomplete.
- Met: The selected condition for material, identity or preservation was verified; this does not establish efficacy success or independent clinical validation.
- Not reported: Unreported within material actually read. Unread external material is not relabeled as unreported.
- Inaccessible: This means actual access failure. External access was not attempted in this work, so this state was not assigned.
- Not applicable: Used only with an application exception and reason based on the question scope.
- Conflicting data: This requires actual comparison of materials; no new conflict judgment was made in this work.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: This indicates gaps in additional material for the selected conditions. Unread material as a whole is not converted into an efficacy grade.
