Class: EvidenceItem

One piece of evidence for a claim: which publication it comes from, an exact quote from that publication, whether the quote supports or refutes the claim, and what kind of study produced it.

It also records where in the paper the supporting data sits: article_section says which section the quote was taken from (a dose quoted from Methods storage boilerplate is much weaker provenance than one quoted from Results), and figure_reference names the figure or table that reports the underlying data, so a reviewer can find values the extraction could not read out of a chart or image.
