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

Is it true that narcolepsy causes weight gain?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that narcolepsy is associated with weight gain, including a Wikipedia entry noting narcoleptics can gain excess weight and a review reporting overweight and obesity are well-documented in narcolepsy patients across ages.
