EXPERT RECOMMENDATIONS · ARGUED FROM CITED EVIDENCE · DRAFT — IN REVIEW
Where the shelf is silent, we say what the evidence supports
The guidelines shelf collects what the organizations already advise. This page is for the gaps — the places where no position statement speaks, or the literature has moved past the last one. Each recommendation below is a numbered claim, argued from specific cited evidence in the library, graded for how strongly the evidence supports it, and stated plainly so you can check it against the sources. Every one is a draft.
Each recommendation names the evidence it stands on, and the grade reflects how directly that evidence supports the claim — not how confident we feel. Where the evidence is indirect or thin, the grade says so rather than dressing a practice point as a proven fact. These clear the same gate as everything else on this site: cited source, physician review, then publication. Until then they carry the draft mark. Disagree with one?
