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: The broad scope mainly concerns healthy adults. The 1995 PAF candidate is retained only as a small sample of healthy men; exact eligibility, baseline status and matching to the direct AGE population remain unverified.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: The selected conditions concern oral AGE capsules. AGE identity, product, aging/extraction process and SAC specification of the PAF-containing garlic-preparation candidate remain unverified. Other garlic preparations are not substituted.
- Dose: The broad AGE doses of 2.4, 4.8 and 7.2 g/day belong to a 34-person dose trial. The PAF candidate’s actual route, dose, active specification and intake/adherence remain unverified; these doses are not transferred.
- Comparator: The selected question is AGE versus placebo. A direct placebo comparison matching the PAF candidate’s actual product, population, measure and time, its analysis population and between-arm contrast remain unverified.
- Measured outcome: The question concerns gaps in direct PAF-induced platelet-aggregation evidence and formulation identity. The PAF endpoint name is retained, but exact measure, unit, concentration, specimen/equipment, numerical results, CI and denominators remain unverified.
- Duration: The PAF candidate’s exact intake duration, blood-draw/testing time and discontinuation/washout remain unverified. The broad short-term, trial-varying description is not converted into a specific PAF duration.
- Questions outside this scope: Original C, 46 points, Warning and B/S/R0/I1/EX/B2/CX are historical records of the broad parent verdict. No separate PAF grade or direct effect is created.; S01’s 34 people are the overall context of another agonist/dose trial. They are neither transferred as arm-specific PAF analysis counts or unique-replication participants nor added together.; The 1995 PAF candidate is a garlic preparation with unverified AGE identity. Report-level no-significant-oral-effect wording does not establish a PAF-specific effect of 0, equivalence or direct refutation of identical AGE.; The review’s 12 RCTs, 595 people and 6 positive trials are overall summary counts. Directly eligible AGE/PAF trials, results, denominators, overlap and unique replications remain unverified.; Clinical thrombosis prevention, aspirin replacement, optimal dose and long-term persistence are separate extensions beyond this narrow gap question. Bleeding warnings are retained; unverified harms are not converted into safety or absence of events.

## Checklist items

### N01 · Are the broad original claim and the PAF evidence-gap question distinguished?

Verification status: Met  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Required materials and conditions: The original broad claim, derived boundary, target endpoint and change history.
- Materials to obtain first: The original broad claim, derived boundary, target endpoint and change history.
- Further research: If the boundary changes, compare inclusion/exclusion for the broad original claim and derived comparison together.
- Conditions for verification: Preserve the original verdict claim and separately fix the question of direct AGE-versus-placebo evidence and formulation identity for PAF-induced aggregation.
- Why this condition is needed: The broad parent verdict is not automatically promoted to an agonist-specific effect.

Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: The original text says clinical thrombosis or bleeding was not measured in these trials. Bleeding events, person counts, collection, discontinuation and comparison/follow-up denominators for the PAF candidate remain unverified.
- Why unverified: Platelet-response material does not provide actual bleeding-event counts.
- Reason for missing information: Harm collection, event/person counts, denominators, duration and discontinuation for matching PAF/AGE exposure are absent.
- Required materials and conditions: Exposure with matching formulation: AE definitions, collection/severity, event/person counts, exposure/follow-up, discontinuation and comparisons.
- Materials to obtain first: Exposure with matching formulation: AE definitions, collection/severity, event/person counts, exposure/follow-up, discontinuation and comparisons.
- Further research: Separate aggregation results from safety populations/follow-up and compare events, timing and denominators.
- Conditions for verification: Distinguish aggregation assays from actual bleeding, severe and discontinuation event definitions, collection, exposed/event participants, comparisons and follow-up.
- Why this condition is needed: Statements that clinical events were not measured differ from personal bleeding safety.
- Application exceptions: Unverified bleeding is not written as 0 events or safety, and 34/595 are not reused as harm denominators.
- Remaining uncertainty: Harm collection, event/person counts, denominators, duration and discontinuation for matching PAF/AGE exposure are absent.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

### N19 · Are the original bleeding warning and direct co-medication/vulnerable-group data verified?

Verification status: Partly verified  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: The original warning prohibits unsupervised use with anticoagulants/antiplatelets, bleeding disorders and around surgery. Direct AGE/PAF exposure, events, follow-up and interaction magnitude in these groups remain unverified.
- Why unverified: The original warning names the groups, but direct group-specific information remains unresolved.
- Reason for missing information: Group-specific harms, alternative causes/adjustment and long-term/rare-event material remain unverified.
- Required materials and conditions: Group-specific formulation, exposure, events, follow-up/alternative explanations and warning sources.
- Materials to obtain first: Group-specific formulation, exposure, events, follow-up/alternative explanations and warning sources.
- Further research: Compare original warning evidence and group-specific safety material separately without certifying personal safety.
- Conditions for verification: Distinguish original warnings for anticoagulants/antiplatelets, bleeding disorders and perioperative use from direct exposure/events, alternative causes and interaction material.
- Why this condition is needed: Experimental trial-population results are not extended to special-population safety.
- Application exceptions: Retaining a warning is neither new harm-causality/incidence adjudication nor a dosing prescription.
- Remaining uncertainty: Group-specific harms, alternative causes/adjustment and long-term/rare-event material remain unverified.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

### N20 · Does the PAF response answer thrombosis prevention or aspirin replacement?

Verification status: Not applicable  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: Direct material for the PAF response itself is unverified. No thrombosis-prevention, thrombolysis, aspirin-replacement or bleeding-safety claim is made.
- Why unverified: Clinical events/replacement are not direct results of this aggregation-gap question, so separate clinical confirmation is not imposed as a current required condition.
- Reason for missing information: Direct clinical-event effects were not checked in this table. Ex vivo gaps are not added to event-effect gaps.
- Required materials and conditions: A separate event question's definition, comparator, follow-up, denominator and clinical results.
- Materials to obtain first: A separate event question's definition, comparator, follow-up, denominator and clinical results.
- Further research: If an event question is requested, review separate clinical endpoints and long-term/event-follow-up studies.
- Conditions for verification: Separate the selected ex vivo response gap from clinical thrombosis/bleeding and treatment-replacement questions.
- Why this condition is needed: Experimental aggregation assays and clinical prevention are different questions.
- Application exceptions: Not applicable does not mean no events, a PAF effect of 0 or safety certification.
- Remaining uncertainty: Direct clinical-event effects were not checked in this table. Ex vivo gaps are not added to event-effect gaps.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

### N21 · Are optimal dose, long-term persistence and special subgroups part of this question?

Verification status: Not applicable  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: This question checks direct AGE PAF evidence and formulation identity. Optimal dose, persistence after discontinuation and special-subgroup effects are not newly claimed.
- Why unverified: These extension obligations lie outside the current question; the broad dose trial is not converted into PAF dose optimization.
- Reason for missing information: Original identity/result gaps remain, but separate extensions are not automatically made required.
- Required materials and conditions: If extension is requested: direct PAF dose comparisons, follow-up and prespecified subgroup/interaction material.
- Materials to obtain first: If extension is requested: direct PAF dose comparisons, follow-up and prespecified subgroup/interaction material.
- Further research: After direct PAF conditions are verified, assess eligible designs/results for each separate extension question.
- Conditions for verification: Distinguish direct PAF identity/result gaps from dose optimization, discontinuation/long-term and subgroup questions.
- Why this condition is needed: A narrow gap question does not impose every extension study.
- Application exceptions: The highest-dose signal for another agonist does not establish the optimal PAF dose.
- Remaining uncertainty: Original identity/result gaps remain, but separate extensions are not automatically made required.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

### N22 · Were local-summary reading and unread linked external materials distinguished?

Verification status: Met  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: The complete retained summary, 3 evidence entries and 3 citations were read. External PubMed/DOI gateways and original papers remain unattempted, unacquired and unread; no direct PAF result was newly acquired.
- Why unverified: Actual local reading was separated from unread external material and linked to exact summary locations and identity checks.
- Reason for missing information: The current summary-reading scope was checked. External responses, actual document forms, abstracts/full texts and licenses remain unverified.
- Required materials and conditions: Subsequent material-specific access/acquisition/reading records, versions, original locations and physical material.
- Materials to obtain first: Subsequent material-specific access/acquisition/reading records, versions, original locations and physical material.
- Further research: In authorized subsequent review, record external acquisition/reading as separate events and compare with retained summaries.
- Conditions for verification: Distinguish reading all 3 evidence entries, 3 citations and Korean/English text from unattempted, unacquired and unread external PubMed/DOI/full-text material by material.
- Why this condition is needed: Bibliographic existence is not promoted to full-text reading or acquisition of eligible results.
- Application exceptions: Unattempted external access is not called access failure, and report-level historical full-text access is not inherited by a constructed DOI gateway.
- Remaining uncertainty: The current summary-reading scope was checked. External responses, actual document forms, abstracts/full texts and licenses remain unverified.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

### N23 · Were the original review date, correction date and individual access dates distinguished?

Verification status: Met  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: The original review date 2026-09-08 and generic-English-wording correction date 2026-09-14 are retained. Material-specific access-date, level and location fields are absent and unrecorded; current local reading has its own actual timestamp.
- Why unverified: Event-specific dates and absent fields were retained without backdating historical/current reading.
- Reason for missing information: Historical material-specific access dates and full-text scope remain unverified. Only separation of the dates was checked.
- Required materials and conditions: Historical material-specific access/version records and complete before/after correction versions.
- Materials to obtain first: Historical material-specific access/version records and complete before/after correction versions.
- Further research: Link and compare original review, correction and actual access events separately.
- Conditions for verification: Distinguish the original review-date field 2026-09-08, correction date 2026-09-14 and current review time; retain absent material-specific access-date/level fields as unrecorded.
- Why this condition is needed: A global review date is not an individual external access date.
- Application exceptions: Historical agonist-separation wording is not converted into current original-paper reading.
- Remaining uncertainty: Historical material-specific access dates and full-text scope remain unverified. Only separation of the dates was checked.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

### N24 · Are search/selection records available to verify the complete current PAF/AGE evidence?

Verification status: Unverified  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: Unverified direct PAF results are limited to the current 3 evidence entries/3 citations in retained summaries. The original research-description separation of the 34-person trial, review and opposing trial is historical wording; no new exhaustive search, registration/unpublished or retraction check was performed.
- Why unverified: Search logs and material establishing completeness beyond the current scope are absent.
- Reason for missing information: Checking PAF/AGE literature, unpublished reports and corrections/retractions beyond current material was not performed. Study absence is not established.
- Required materials and conditions: Historical queries/dates, selection/exclusion, unpublished/correction/retraction checks and product/agonist-specific candidate logs.
- Materials to obtain first: Historical queries/dates, selection/exclusion, unpublished/correction/retraction checks and product/agonist-specific candidate logs.
- Further research: In an authorized separate update, fix the product/PAF question, reproduce the search scope and compare potentially omitted candidates.
- Conditions for verification: Verify queries, dates, selection/exclusion, unpublished/correction-check logs and the scope of complete current evidence for the PAF/AGE question. Separately display current retained-summary reading and the absence of new searching.
- Why this condition is needed: An absence statement requires an actual reviewed scope.
- Application exceptions: 0 new searches are not reported as 0 PAF studies or a complete current review.
- Remaining uncertainty: Checking PAF/AGE literature, unpublished reports and corrections/retractions beyond current material was not performed. Study absence is not established.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

### N25 · Were the original broad C46, axes and all results distinguished from a derived grade?

Verification status: Met  
Reading scope: The retained Korean/English summaries and case-specific condition/application records were read. External abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols and analysis plans remain unread, with access not attempted.

- Current findings: Original C46, B/S/R0/I1/EX/B2/CX, Warning and all original results are retained as historical records of the broad parent verdict. The individual PAF grade is unrecorded. Generic English sample-size/result wording does not create selected-response values or successful access.
- Why unverified: Complete original typed values and derived identity were retained without creating a separate effect or grade.
- Reason for missing information: Preservation of the broad parent verdict was checked. This table does not newly establish PAF efficacy, clinical sufficiency or method certification.
- Required materials and conditions: The complete original summary, input identity, boundary/verdict/correction events and separate-grade policy.
- Materials to obtain first: The complete original summary, input identity, boundary/verdict/correction events and separate-grade policy.
- Further research: Compare complete original text, preserved case values and change events to check that no new derived verdict was created.
- Conditions for verification: Retain original 3066 C46/axes/Warning, values, empty separate-claim list, generic English wording and corrections; state that the separate PAF grade is unrecorded.
- Why this condition is needed: The historical broad parent verdict does not become an individual efficacy status for the selected response.
- Application exceptions: Unverified actual observations are not filled with the number 0 or no effect.
- Remaining uncertainty: Preservation of the broad parent verdict was checked. This table does not newly establish PAF efficacy, clinical sufficiency or method certification.
- Referenced methods: Existing method principles distinguish population, formulation, dose, timing, endpoint, comparison, denominators, overlap, funding and harms in the retained reports. Detailed conditions are Chamgap’s own application.

## What the statuses mean

- Met: Limited verification of the retained identity, observation or scope required by this row. This is separate from clinical sufficiency or full-text certification.
- Partly verified: Some facts needed by the question are known, while the stated analysis, population, formulation or denominator remains unverified.
- Unverified: Direct information for this question is unverified in the retained scope. This does not mean an effect of 0, no studies, no harm or an unreviewed table.
- Not applicable: A specific extension obligation lies outside the narrow question. This does not substitute for unread or unverified material.
- Not applicable (alias): A grey-display alias of Not applicable.
- Not read: The external material was not directly read in the current work. This is separate from reading the retained local summary.
- Conflicting data: Actual disagreement between reports under the same conditions. Differences between other questions alone do not establish conflict.
