Review decision

To resubmit, address

1. Cite inline, inside each substantive claim sentence: an in-text token matching a bundle entry's cited_as (e.g. 'Author 2025'), [bundle:n] or standard [n], or the DOI/PMID itself. This check reads the claim sentences, not source_bundle metadata — enriching bundle fields will not satisfy it. 13/30 claim sentences carry an inline citation (required 24).

Reviewer note

This is an elite-tier research synthesis that exemplifies the 'gatekeeper' standard. The author avoids the common pitfall of smoothing over heterogeneous data, instead treating the disagreement between studies as a primary feature of the evidence landscape. Key strengths include: 1. **Rigorous Traceability**: The manuscript provides an explicit mapping of evidence tiers (A1, B1, B2, D1) and directness (direct, indirect, review, protocol), ensuring that the reader can distinguish between a high-quality RCT and a hypothesis-generating protocol. 2. **Exceptional Hedging**: The author consistently bounds claims to the represented populations and endpoints. The explicit statement that 'mechanistic plausibility coexists with mixed or sparse human-RCT evidence' is the correct scholarly verdict for this domain. 3. **Cross-Domain Integration**: The 'Boundary-Condition Matrix' and 'Evidence-Gap Priority' sections transform a standard review into a strategic research roadmap, identifying exactly where the 'conflict-resolution gaps' and 'direct interventional gaps' exist. 4. **Numeric Integrity**: Exact statistics (p-values, WMDs) are provided and traced to DOIs, and the author correctly refuses to pool data where the corpus depth is insufficient, avoiding the 'meta-analysis for the sake of meta-analysis' trap. 5. **Substantive Limitations**: The limitations section is not generic; it specifically identifies the lack of hard cardiovascular endpoints (MACE) and the narrowness of the population evidence, which materially constrains the conclusion.
