That doesn't mean it's settled — it just means no study has tested the opposite.

Quality-weighted scoring: we follow the GRADE framework — each study is rated High, Moderate, Low, or Very Low based on study design, methodology rigor, and risk of bias. A single high-quality RCT can outweigh several weaker observational studies.

Scores reflect study quality, not just count.
