How this library is assembled

A broad, bounded research browser, combining highly cited and recent PubMed-indexed papers. This is not a systematic review. No outcome-direction filter is used. One named outcome-pilot citation was added after a separate PubMed metadata check; its selection limits are recorded at /research/outcomes/selection/.

Metadata checked 2026-11-04. Indexed metadata and short author excerpts are separate from the reviewed study notes. Study designs and model tags follow source indexing and explicit abstract terms. The source paper governs interpretation. Paper counts, citations and colors do not grade a retail product or demonstrate a clinical effect.

Figures include attribution and a reusable source license. Some full-text papers have no image reuse permission and therefore have no local figures.
