Abstract

The abstract is not reproduced here: the paper's license (CC BY-NC-ND) does not allow it. Read it in the paper, at the publisher or on Europe PMC.

Code

The paper says that its authors' code is available on request: it was not published with the paper, so there is nothing to verify.

The paper's code and data availability statement is in the Data section.

Tracing map

A tracing map links a paper to the code its authors published: this paper has none (its code is available on request), so it has no map.

Data

Datasets cited

Availability statements

The paper has a data availability statement and a code and data availability statement. Its license (CC BY-NC-ND) does not allow reproducing them here; in short, from what the harvester recognized in them:

  • they say that the data are available on request
  • they say that the code is available on request

Read them in the paper: doi.org/10.1186/s12911-026-03552-8.

Versions

The history of this record: each version stored by the harvester or made by a correction of its authors or of the maintainers of its code, and what changed in its facts. The texts of the paper (its abstract, its availability statements) are not part of it; versions that changed only those are not listed.

Version 2, 28 September 2026
