Twelve things a real certificate has, and what their absence means
Nothing on this page is difficult. It is simply unfamiliar, and unfamiliarity is what makes a weak certificate look like a strong one.

A proper account of an operation that existed, and of what closing it cost.
The dose that got you here and the dose that keeps you here
Dose reduction is not withdrawal, and the trials that tested withdrawal cannot be read as testing it.
The imaging substudy is an afterthought in the protocol and the centrepiece of the debate
The composition data comes from imaging substudies enrolling a few score participants at selected sites. It is the best evidence available and it is thin.

One method is one opinion
Aggregates dissociate in the mobile phase and are recorded as monomer. Only a size-based separation reports them.
A reference interval is not a target, and a result outside one is not a diagnosis
Two sources of noise sit under every number: how reproducible the assay is, and how much the analyte varies within the same person on the same day.
