What The Science App is

The Science App takes a claim and searches peer-reviewed literature for evidence on both sides, presenting supporting and opposing findings with links to the underlying papers and a synthesis of how strong the evidence appears.

What you can do with it

  • Enter a claim and see evidence both ways
  • Open the papers behind each finding
  • Read a synthesis of evidence strength
  • Explore analyses submitted by others
  • Use the API for research workflows

Who it is for

  • Researchers checking a claim's basis
  • Journalists and writers
  • Anyone tired of unsupported health or science claims

What to watch out for

  • Automated synthesis can misrepresent what a paper actually found; open the linked studies
  • Search over literature inherits publication bias, including under-reported negative results
  • Consensus descriptions are interpretations, not formal scientific positions
  • Health claims checked here are not personal medical advice

FAQ

How does it analyse a claim?

It searches peer-reviewed papers for supporting and opposing evidence, then synthesises strength and consensus.

Can I trust the synthesis?

Open the linked papers; automated summaries can overstate or misread results.

Is it medical advice?

No. It is evidence analysis, not guidance for individual decisions.
