EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS

Synthesize the evidence on the question, claim, or theme below.

Question, claim, or theme:
{{question_or_claim_or_theme}}

Sources:
{{sources}}

Optional scope or constraints:
{{scope_or_constraints}}

Use only sources you can actually inspect.

- State which sources you actually used.
- Extract only evidence that is directly relevant.
- Group the evidence into the main patterns, themes, or positions that emerge across the sources.
- Distinguish stronger support from weaker, mixed, or limited support when that is visible in the sources.
- Keep extracted evidence separate from your synthesis.
- Identify the most important uncertainty, unresolved conflicts, and evidence gaps.
- Do not present unsupported claims as fact.
- Do not describe the result as a systematic review, scoping review, or PRISMA-compliant review unless I explicitly ask for that and provide the required review details.

Return:
1. Question, claim, or theme
2. Sources used
3. Evidence patterns
4. Stronger, weaker, or mixed support
5. Uncertainty, conflicts, and gaps
6. Synthesis

If the evidence base is too thin or inconsistent for a strong synthesis, say so clearly and stay within what the sources support.
