Claim	C007
Hypothesis	H3

Statement

CONSORT's scope extends beyond reporting to also cover trial design or conduct.

Status

Current: Eliminated

Supporting Evidence

Evidence	Summary

[No evidence found supporting this hypothesis.]

Contradicting Evidence

Evidence	Summary
SRC01-E02	Explicitly states CONSORT "solely addresses the reporting" and "does not include recommendations for designing, conducting, and analyzing trials"

Reasoning

H3 was included to test whether the claim's characterization of CONSORT as a "reporting" checklist was too narrow. The primary source explicitly refutes this — CONSORT is deliberately scoped to reporting only. H3 is eliminated with high confidence.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

Independent of H1 and H2 (which address item count, not scope). H3's elimination strengthens the reporting-scope portion of the original claim.
