Multimodal Parkinson disease models can improve internally while obscuring why patients differ and whether a gain is deployable. We separated clinical trajectories, dated biological sources, observation process and cohort-relative, age-weighted evidence for dopaminergic, injury/glial, cognitive co-pathology and lysosomal burden across 5,404 cutoffs in 1,058 Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative participants. DaT-SPECT and MoCA history produced a small 12-month motor-change gain (Delta R^2=0.015; delta MAE=-0.060) that failed prespecified magnitude and strict-calendar criteria. Continuous evidence retained overlapping support but showed no detectable predictive increment beyond raw sources. Source-aware intervals achieved 90.6% simultaneous participant coverage yet failed selective prediction, yielding ABSTAIN. In 8,000 semisynthetic experiments, the gate limited null promotion to 0.35%, detected leakage and blocked 94.75% of calendar reversals; PDBP clinical transport and multimodal eligibility failed. The framework reveals state support, stale or missing evidence, and unjustified prognostic, uncertainty or transport claims.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
