Extracted Findings
With evidence excerptsEach finding separates the subject under study from the measured outcome and remains linked to its evidence excerpt.
outcome_text is stored separately from the subject so that direction remains unambiguously tied to what was measured. Direction refers to the measured outcome, not to clinical benefit — 'reduced airway secretions' is decreases, even though it is a good result.

How are the extracted findings produced?
The reading engine stores the subject, measured outcome, direction, and assertion mode separately. A finding appears here only when its evidence excerpt is retained with it.
