Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that aspirin relieves mild to moderate pain in adults?

Yes. A Cleveland Clinic drug reference directly states aspirin can treat mild to moderate pain, and a Cochrane review plus a systematic review confirm aspirin is an effective analgesic for acute pain in adults. One case report describes aspirin failing in a rare secondary erythermalgia, which does not contradict the general claim.
