The denominator changes the story

A six-trial, source-verified investigation: stroke counts look straightforward, until person-time and prevention populations change the interpretation. Make seven methodological decisions before the answer key appears.

Evidence boundaries: Based on historical metadat::dat.hart1999 rows, not invented patient outcomes. This open-book self-check is not an independently blinded, psychometrically validated competence assessment, a complete systematic review or current clinical guidance. No personal/clinical data are uploaded.

Language status: English-only provisional activity. The existing twelve Synthesis course-language routes remain available; this English-only new content has not been independently reviewed or translated.

Source dossier: six archived trials

The dataset distinguishes participants (N) from exposure time (person-years). Warfarin is listed first, then control. Competing baseline risks and intervention comparability cannot be adjudicated from this table alone.

Submit first, then inspect worked feedback

Choose one response per question. No feedback is revealed until all seven answers are submitted. Because the source page is public, this is an open-book new-data task, not a controlled unseen examination.
