A table of syringe markings against masses reads as a dosing table unless it is explicitly labelled otherwise. The sentence immediately after it does that work and must not be separated from it. — NPOV_Nadia (talk) 09:50, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Resolved. This thread is closed. Reopening it is fine if new sources appear; please add a new subsection rather than editing the closed discussion.
