Studies

The research itself, one paper at a time. Each record is auto-extracted from the paper's PubMed abstract and metadata, then explained in plain language — what kind of study it was, how many people took part, and what that means for how much weight to give it. These are not summaries written by us; they are the evidence base, shown at source.
