**Missing views.** The note said 10 articles without a clinical view and 13 without a short one; the real numbers were 8 and 11, and the eight originals turned out to carry no `variant` key at all, so everything in them was being read as the long view. 33 sections written across 11 articles, every sentence traceable to that article's own body, and the legacy sections stamped with the variant they were always being treated as. No doses appear anywhere, because not one of those eight states one. Every article now has a high-yield view and `mdm_pass check` reads 330 of 331 conforming with no placeholder sections. **Pediatric Dentistry** was neither an educator's job nor a delete. Its body is real — scope, disparities, records and consent, public health, biomaterials — and only its clinical view was the disclaimer. The three placeholder sections are gone and the article stays: the reader hides a view an article does not have, and a discipline overview about consent and public health has no bedside path to write. Inventing one was the thing not to do. **The 15 tied conditions were stale**, ticked with the evidence rather than worked: the taxonomy rebuild gave every one of them a single home, and the duplicate-name query now returns nothing. **The 31 tied questions were 3**, and reading all three showed none was a real tie. The best of them: a question about acute flaccid paralysis after minor trauma was filed between "Nursemaid's Elbow" and "Radial Head Subluxation" — two names for one condition, neither anything to do with the question. It is under Spinal Cord Injury now, cross-filed to Acute Flaccid Paralysis, and the two elbow links are removed rather than cross-filed: a wrong link surfaces a question under a topic it does not belong to, which is the opposite of what cross-filing is for.

# The 15 conditions with no evidence-based home

|
|
|
|
|
|
Every other duplicated condition name had a clear plurality — one system held
|
|
most of its questions — and 99 were merged into it, keeping a cross-link to the
|
|
systems folded away so no filter narrows.
|
|
|
|
These fifteen are split evenly. There is no fact in the data that picks a
|
|
winner, so nothing was merged: an arbitrary rule would be a decision disguised
|
|
as a computation.
|
|
|
|
**How to decide:** pick the system a learner would look under first. The others
|
|
are kept as cross-links either way, so the question still appears when filtering
|
|
by them — the choice only sets where the condition *lives* in the tree.
|
|
|
|
| Condition | Questions | Tied between |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Feeding Difficulty | 30 | Neonatology · Gastroenterology & Nutrition |
|
|
| Breastfeeding Jaundice | 16 | Neonatology · Gastroenterology & Nutrition |
|
|
| Chlamydial Infection | 16 | Ophthalmology · Infectious Disease · Neonatology |
|
|
| Chorioamnionitis | 14 | Infectious Disease · Adolescent Medicine · Neonatology |
|
|
| Duodenal Atresia | 8 | Gastroenterology & Nutrition · Neonatology |
|
|
| Chemical Burn | 8 | Toxicology · Emergency Medicine |
|
|
| Contact Dermatitis | 8 | Dermatology · Allergy/Immunology |
|
|
| Respiratory Infection | 8 | Pulmonology · Infectious Disease |
|
|
| Gastritis | 6 | Primary Care & Prevention · Gastroenterology & Nutrition |
|
|
| Organophosphate Poisoning | 6 | Toxicology · Emergency Medicine |
|
|
| Pesticide Toxicity | 6 | Toxicology · Emergency Medicine |
|
|
| Orchitis | 6 | Nephrology & Urology · Infectious Disease |
|
|
| Neuroblastoma | 6 | Hematology-Oncology · Gastroenterology & Nutrition |
|
|
| Epididymitis | 6 | Nephrology & Urology · Infectious Disease |
|
|
| Holoprosencephaly | 6 | Genetics & Metabolism · Neonatology |
|
|
|
|
Some of these look decidable to a clinician even though the counts are level —
|
|
Organophosphate Poisoning and Pesticide Toxicity are the same call twice, and
|
|
Orchitis and Epididymitis are a pair. Answer those together.
|
|
|
|
Once chosen, the merge is `scripts/merge_duplicate_conditions.py`, which keeps
|
|
the row you name and folds the rest into it.
