Findings from PubMed, Medline, Cochrane database, WHO Library (WHOLIS), Nature, google scholar and specialized health publications such as Sports Medecine journals are reported & aggregated.
We priorize meta-analysis and systematic reviews. Furthermore, results are classified in the following categories:
Findings from animal research are not usually reported, unless they reveal unique insights. They are clearly annotated as needing more research.
Our main work is finding common determinants amongst studies for possible comparison and correlation. This mean we might not taking into account findings on unique results in a scientific team, even if they are most interesting.
Note: We do NOT undertake scientific study in any form. We encourage users to go to the source by reading the studies, see what is relevant to them and discuss with their doctor or health professional what is best for them.
Studies have different trial designs and trial lengths. They also have different metrics and different determinants, even when the name is identical. Furthermore, it is not possible to do a simple addition of outcomes. Determinants can have mixed interaction or side-effects, and might not reflect your personal health history.
The outcomes can only give a rough estimation and should be discussed with your doctor and health professional.
A way of combining data from many different research studies. A meta-analysis is a statistical process that combines the findings from individual studies.
Example: A meta-analysis of alcohol drinking and cancer risk
A summary of the clinical literature. A systematic review is a critical assessment and evaluation of all research studies that address a particular clinical issue. The researchers use an organized method of locating, assembling, and evaluating a body of literature on a particular topic using a set of specific criteria. A systematic review typically includes a description of the findings of the collection of research studies. The systematic review may also include a quantitative pooling of data, called a meta-analysis.
A controlled clinical trial that randomly (by chance) assigns participants to two or more groups. There are various methods to randomize study participants to their groups.
A clinical research study in which people who presently have a certain condition or receive a particular treatment are followed over time and compared with another group of people who are not affected by the condition
The observation of a defined population at a single point in time or time interval. Exposure and outcome are determined simultaneously.
Example: Alcoholic drinks: Important triggers for asthma
Case-control studies begin with the outcomes and do not follow people over time. Researchers choose people with a particular result (the cases) and interview the groups or check their records to ascertain what different experiences they had. They compare the odds of having an experience with the outcome to the odds of having an experience without the outcome
Example: Dietary Intake and Risk for Reflux Esophagitis: A Case-Control Study
A report on a series of patients with an outcome of interest. No control group is involved
Studies conducted using animal subjects.
Example: Caloric restriction reduces age-related and all-cause mortality in rhesus monkeys.
