Change log
- 2026-05-31 — created · auto-ingested for SQ-LIP-000021
- 2026-06-11 — statement revised · R-AI-14 fabrication review (option A): 'systematic review'→'review' (source not formally a systematic review). NOTE: the 'gold-standard CDT/MLD' framing is also not directly supported by this source — left as-is per author; flagged for possible re-sourcing.
- 2026-06-12 — disputed evidence reviewed · Human review: FALSE POSITIVE — the source contains BOTH claims (identifies CDT as gold-standard AND that compression/exercise/pneumatic compression reduce pain and edema). Statement faithful. Resolves the prior open item.
