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

Cold temperatures cause increased urination frequency, a physiological response known as cold diuresis.

The analysis

Multiple studies document that acute exposure to cold ambient temperatures induces cold diuresis, leading to increased urine volume and flow. Consequently, the claim is supported by the provided physiological evidence.
