  • Research consultants
  • Graduate students
  • Evidence-review teams

Supported inputs

  • Focused research question
  • Keywords and concepts
  • Optional date or topic constraints

Useful outputs

  • Relevant PubMed set
  • Source-linked summaries
  • Structured reading list
  • Research notes

PROJECT INTELLIGENCE

BEFORE INTERPRETATION

01

Confirm file format and reference conventions

02

Record tool, database and dataset versions

03

Inspect missing values, outliers and sample labels

04

Review assumptions behind each selected method

05

Keep exported figures linked to their source data

06

Request domain-expert review for consequential claims

USEFUL QUESTIONS

Before using the output.

Are answers linked to publications?

The intended workflow keeps PubMed sources visible so the researcher can verify the underlying record.

Can it produce a clinical recommendation?

No. It is a literature research aid, not a clinical decision system.
