Reference Coverage Audit

Created: 2026-04-20 Refreshed: 2026-05-07

Scope

This audit tracks how the current ILC-in-lung wiki uses the ingested source library across entity pages, topic pages, and digest pages. It is a routing audit, not a claim that every source has already been manually crystallized end to end.

The audit now reflects the current architecture: ILC2 and ILC3 are the canonical cell hubs, Lung ILC Core Evidence Synthesis is the main cross-subset synthesis page, and Lung ILC Disease Roles Companion is the disease-first companion page.

Coverage snapshot

  • Ingested paper source pages currently present: 150
  • Source pages in focused manual crystallization mode: 150
  • Source pages in provisional bulk-ingest mode: 0
  • Entity/topic/digest synthesis pages currently scanned for direct source links: 11
  • Paper source pages currently linked directly from scanned synthesis pages: 150
  • Paper source pages still source-library only: 0
  • All ingested sources remain discoverable through ingestion_manifest.
  • Counting note: focused/provisional counts describe source-page review mode; direct-link coverage describes whether a paper is cited from the scanned knowledge-layer pages. These are related but not interchangeable metrics.

Reference-use rules

  • Use direct lung, airway, pulmonary infection, asthma, COPD, ARDS, fibrosis, and tumor sources as direct support for pulmonary claims only when the source itself studies a relevant lung context.
  • Use gut, skin, nervous-system, colon-cancer, and other extrapulmonary ILC papers as mechanism/context evidence unless the receiving page explicitly labels the inference as extrapolated.
  • Use reviews and broad biology papers for framing, terminology, and trend synthesis, not as the sole support for a specific mechanistic claim when a primary paper is available.
  • Preserve species, tissue compartment, disease model, and assay distinctions when promoting claims into entity, topic, or digest pages.
  • Treat provisional bulk-ingest notes as routing aids. Durable biological synthesis should preferentially rely on focused manual crystallization pages or directly inspected source text.

Current source-library-only references

These source pages are present in the library but are not directly linked from the 10 scanned entity/topic/digest synthesis pages. Some are intentionally background, review, extrapulmonary, or lower-priority mechanism context.

Actions from this audit

  • Keep ILC2 and ILC3 as the canonical cell hubs for direct cell-level synthesis.
  • Use Lung ILC Core Evidence Synthesis as the main cross-subset claim anchor, and use Lung ILC Disease Roles Companion only for disease-first navigation.
  • Prioritize current source-library-only references that already carry pulmonary-disease roles, because these are the most likely to strengthen or qualify existing disease topic pages.
  • Continue to label extrapulmonary ILC2 and ILC3 mechanism papers as context or conserved-mechanism candidates unless they are matched by pulmonary evidence.
  • Re-run this audit after each focused source-review round so coverage counts and route labels stay synchronized with the live wiki.

Follow-up manual review priorities

  • First priority: current source-library-only papers assigned to pulmonary disease roles, because these most directly affect reusable disease interpretation.
  • Second priority: current source-library-only ILC2 and ILC3 regulation papers, because these can sharpen mechanism pages without forcing unsupported lung generalization.
  • Third priority: broad review/context sources, because they help trend and framing pages but should not dominate mechanistic claims.
