Direct answer
Inspection Depth, in this protocol, is limited to the following inspected scope. Title/abstract screening and later examination of full-text reports are distinct activities. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Protocol
Present steps in order with required inputs, outputs, stop conditions, and a rollback or correction path.
A protocol is reproducible only to the extent that its inputs, versions, assumptions, and decision rules are fixed.
Applied scope: Title/abstract screening and later examination of full-text reports are distinct activities.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-research. This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish research objects, machine-readable provenance, reproduction protocols. It must not publish sales copy or unsupported interpretation.
Evidence and exact locators
Cochrane Handbook, Chapter 4: Searching for and selecting studies — Sections 4.6.3 and 4.6.4. Establishes: Title/abstract screening and later examination of full-text reports are distinct activities.
What the evidence does not establish
Reading depth does not establish source relevance, claim support, rights, or truth.
This route must not claim sales copy.
This route must not claim unsupported interpretation.

Questions this page can answer
What does Inspection Depth mean in this bounded context?
Inspection Depth, in this protocol, is limited to the following inspected scope. Title/abstract screening and later examination of full-text reports are distinct activities. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Which inspected sources support this protocol answer?
Cochrane Handbook, Chapter 4: Searching for and selecting studies (version 6.5, updated March 2025), at Sections 4.6.3 and 4.6.4, supports title/abstract screening and later examination of full-text reports are distinct activities.
What does the evidence not establish?
Reading depth does not establish source relevance, claim support, rights, or truth. Property boundary: This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-research definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
