Claim scope

A published opinion recounting plaintiffs' evidence of undisclosed sponsorship of a named 2008 peer-reviewed article.

What this source does not establish

I did NOT resolve the Muscat & Huncharek 2008 article to a PMID in this session. Do not cite the article itself until its PMID is verified; cite only the opinion's statement.
