Status: awaiting_review. Rule: atlas-profile-2.0.
3 linked publications; not a count of independent studies.
Missing appraisal does not mean no evidence exists. Inspect the full profile and source relationships in the interactive Atlas.
Historical grade: WEAK (retained from 22 September 2026; not a completed profile 2.0 assessment).

A wrong call sends a patient to cord biopsy/resection or to immunotherapy; stakes are very high with genuine overlap.
