No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Clustering variables in causal graphs reduces the size of the graph and simplifies causal inference. However, arbitrary clustering can alter crucial causal relations among variables and lead to erroneous conclusions. While the identifiability of a causal effect in the clustered graph implies the identifiability in the original graph under mild conditions, nonidentifiability in clustered graph does not imply nonidentifiability in the original graph without further assumptions. When both identifiability and nonidentifiability are preserved, the clustering operation is called identification invariant. We present a broad class of clustering operations that are identification invariant based on conditions related to the c-components of the original graph. Finally, we demonstrate use of the results in practical settings.
