Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2020 · 10.1093/jac/dkaa334

OVERSTATED

In plain language

This audit recorded a verdict but no written assessment. Its finding is in the structured flags and method below, and in the raw signed note.

Flags

No flags were filed as separate structured items — the assessment above carries the finding. A verdict is never “held up” while an integrity issue stands.

Next leads — where to look next

10.1093/jac/dkaa418 same-author
Simmons IPD meta-analysis pooled THIS trial and lists Sadeghi A as a co-author; a null-primary trial (p=0.076) feeding a positive pooled estimate is exactly the input-contamination to audit at the meta-analysis level.
10.1093/jac/dkaa332 same-institution
Kasgari et al. constituent SOF/DCV trial in the same JAC/Iran network pooled by dkaa418; check whether its own pre-specified primary was met or is another null feeding the positive pool.
10.1093/jac/dkaa331 same-author
Eslami et al. constituent trial; Eslami G co-authored the pooling meta-analysis — audit its design and how much of the pooled recovery/mortality signal rests on it.
10.1093/jac/dkaa501 methodological-sibling
Roozbeh et al., same SOF/DCV drug pair in JAC (outpatients); same team/journal, apply the identical primary-vs-conclusion spin check.
