Review decision

To resubmit, address

1. Restore full numeric strings in Abstract and Results sections to ensure numeric traceability.
2. Replace truncated p-values in Evidence Landscape with complete values or explicit flags (e.g., 'multiple comparisons').
3. Remove verbatim repetition in Cross-Domain Synthesis; integrate content into a single coherent paragraph.
4. Expand Gaps Identified to include at least three priority gaps with explicit rationale for each.
5. Add counts for post-screening exclusions in Methods section to clarify exclusion logic.
6. Remove redundant lines in Evidence Snapshot section.
7. Add a concise list of supported claims with evidence tier mapping in Conclusion section.
8. Ensure all claims in Abstract and Conclusion are explicitly hedged to match the evidence profile (e.g., 'suggests', 'indicates', 'is consistent with').

Minor issues

• Abstract truncation obscures numeric traceability for some claims (e.g., 'P = 0.0005 and P = 0.'); restore full numeric strings.
• Evidence Landscape table contains truncated p-values (e.g., 'P = 0.0005 among other comparisons'); replace with complete values or flag as 'multiple comparisons' to avoid ambiguity.
• Cross-Domain Synthesis repeats identical paragraphs verbatim; replace with a single integrated paragraph that avoids redundancy.
• Gaps Identified section lists only one priority gap; expand to at least three priority gaps with explicit rationale for each.
• Methods section states 'No records were excluded at the gates instrumented for this run' but does not quantify post-screening exclusions; add counts for excluded records with recorded reasons.
• Evidence Snapshot section lists 'Additional corpus sources included animal/preclinical evidence' multiple times; remove redundant lines.
• Conclusion section states 'The conclusion therefore does not support broad causal, clinical, or policy claims' but does not explicitly state what claims are supported; add a concise list of supported claims with evidence tier mapping.

Reviewer note

This is a high-quality, gatekeeper-tier research synthesis with explicit methods, auditable citation trail, and rigorous separation of evidence tiers. The manuscript excels in cross-domain integration, numeric traceability, and honest hedging of conclusions. The primary revision needs are cosmetic (truncated numerics, redundant text) and structural (expanding gaps list). No major issues remain. The manuscript is salvageable with bounded edits and will meet the acceptance bar once minor issues are addressed.
