| The atomic normative statement. This is the node nothing in the WHO estate currently makes addressable. statement is a VERBATIM quote, never a paraphrase — a paraphrased recommendation is a new recommendation. strength is GRADE (strong | conditional); certainty is GRADE (high | moderate | low | very-low); conditionality records the 'in settings where…' qualifier that decides whether a DAK can adopt it unchanged.
