| DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/002 | Dr Liesbeth Achterberg | An identifier that encodes the document type will have to change when the type does | Accepted |

§3.2Summary by disposition
Table 2. Counts by disposition, with the meaning of each.
| Disposition | Count | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Accepted | 6 | The submission is accepted and the draft is amended as proposed. The amendment is recorded in the amendment log of the document it changed and is traceable to the numbered submission. |
| Accepted in part | 5 | Part of the submission is accepted and part is not. The secretariat response states which part is which and on what ground the remainder was declined. |
| Noted, no amendment | 2 | The submission raises a point the Institute accepts but that does not require a change to the draft, most often because the draft already states it elsewhere. The location is given in the response. |
| Not accepted | 1 | The submission is not accepted. The secretariat response gives the reason. A submission that is not accepted remains published in full; the Institute does not remove a submission because it disagrees with it. |
§3.3Resulting amendments
- The same quantity is presented differently in two series — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/011. Certainty ratings are now presented identically across every series, using the same badge, the same wording and the same accompanying formulation, and the presentation is specified in the series structure document rather than left to each series.
- An identifier that encodes the document type will have to change when the type does — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/002. The identifier is now opaque and permanent from first publication, the series and type are recorded as fields that may change, and a reclassified document keeps the identifier it was issued with.
- A fixed section structure will force empty sections — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/014. A section with nothing to report now states that fact and the reason in a fixed form, rather than being omitted or left blank, so that a reader can tell the difference between an absence of evidence and an absence of effort.
- Point estimates are given without an interval — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/003. Every estimate now carries its interval where the source reported one, and where it did not, the estimate is annotated as reported without an interval rather than left to appear as a precise figure.
- The document is unreadable without specialist training — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/008. Every document now opens with a plain-language summary of not more than 150 words, placed above the technical abstract and carrying the same certainty language, so that the two cannot diverge.
- The default ordering of a comparison table carries an implication — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/013. The default ordering is now alphabetical, a standing statement above every comparison table records that the ordering is not a ranking, and the sort state is reset on reload so that a shared link does not carry an ordering the sender chose.
- The registry is published only as pages and not in a form that can be processed — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/007. The registry fields are now emitted in a structured form alongside the rendered pages, carrying the identifier, series, type, version, dates, certainty rating and status for every document, and the structured record is regenerated with the site so that it…
- A printed copy loses the information that makes it checkable — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/001. The print stylesheet now carries the identifier, version, publication date and retrieval date on every page, expands link destinations into the text, and prints the full reference list rather than a link to it.
- Two factual descriptions of the sponsor's programme are inaccurate — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/010. The trial status now reads as completed at a pre-specified interim analysis, with the analysis identified, and the dose is stated in the unit used in the approved labelling. The submission is identified as an industry submission on its face in accordance with…
- References should carry a persistent identifier for every cited source — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/004. Every reference without a persistent identifier now carries an explicit statement that the identifier is not held by the Institute, so that its absence is a recorded fact rather than an apparent oversight.
- The series scope is drawn widely enough to absorb documents that belong elsewhere — arising from DRAFT-SUPPLIERS-CO/012. The series scope now carries an explicit exclusion list naming the document classes that do not belong to it and stating where each belongs instead, so that a placement decision is checkable rather than editorial.
