Five checks before changing your routine
Confirm the population matches the people you care about.
Identify the intervention, comparator, and outcome actually studied.
Separate statistical significance from a meaningful real-world effect.
Check follow-up length, withdrawals, funding, and stated limitations.
Read the full paper or qualified guidance before applying a conclusion.
This automation intentionally does not invent findings from metadata. Open the
