Why it matters
Assessment pending; this report does not establish a change in evidence.
What it does NOT prove

- The 4-week duration and small scope limit generalizability to longer-term adherence or effects
- No sample size, effect sizes, or statistical significance are provided, making it impossible to evaluate the magnitude or reliability of any changes
