Medical Content & Editorial Policy

Last editorial review: September 2026

How to check a statement, in short, is in the FAQ.

Published source

Start from a verifiable reference.

Verification

Check PMID or DOI and the original source.

Extraction

Take only what the source supports—no invented claims.

Classification

Distinguish evidence type and certainty.

Library/content

Present it clearly on pages and in the library.

Future review/update

Update when newer checkable evidence appears.

Primary sources

Where possible we rely on:

  • PubMed and PMC
  • NCBI
  • OMIM
  • Orphanet
  • ClinVar and ClinGen
  • peer-reviewed journals
  • academic institutions when citing work they have published

Policy

  • Social media is not treated as a medical source.
  • We try to return to the original source.
  • We check a PMID or DOI when a published title is named.
  • We do not give personal treatment and we do not replace a clinician.
  • We distinguish a case report from clinical evidence.
  • We distinguish laboratory studies from established treatment.
  • We state scientific uncertainty when the picture is incomplete.
  • Content is updated when newer evidence can be checked.
