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

It is well-established in clinical practice that C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can remain entirely normal in patients with certain autoimmune conditions, as CRP elevation depends heavily on the specific disease type and inflammatory profile.

The analysis

The claim is specific, empirical, and falsifiable. Papers [1] and [3] support the premise that autoimmune or systemic inflammatory evaluations can occur alongside normal CRP levels. No papers refute the possibility.
