You don't have time to sift through millions of papers.
Between patients you get a few spare minutes, an abstract behind a paywall, and no way to tell whether the trial was on your caseload. So the literature stays a stack of things you meant to read, and practice drifts toward what you were taught rather than what has since been shown.
Every result leads with the finding, the study type and the sample — enough to tell a meta-analysis on your caseload from a case report on somebody else's without opening it.
Every summary names what the study does not show, rates how certain the evidence is, and lists who funded it. Those are the parts that decide whether a result applies to your caseload, so they are not buried at the bottom.
Every summary is written for the discipline reading it.
An interdisciplinary TBI study means something different to the physio setting mobility goals than to the SLP making goal-setting accessible. Pick your discipline and sub-specialties at sign-up; the feed and the implications follow.
Loading, dosage and progression criteria — what the protocol actually was, and whether it transfers to your caseload.
Whether a finding shows up in everyday occupation or only in timed capacity testing — and what to measure to know.
Delivery mode, dose and generalisation to untrained items — the details that decide whether a protocol survives your clinic.
Keep what you will need again, and why you kept it.
Save a paper and file it into a collection, then write a private note on what made it worth keeping — the patient it applies to, what you would change, what to check. Notes are yours alone and never leave your account.
Questions clinicians ask
Yes. Each summary is written from the whole article — methods, results, tables, discussion, and the funding and conflict-of-interest declarations. A paper we cannot read in full is left out rather than summarised from its abstract, which is why the index is smaller than it could be.
Summaries are regenerated whenever the record is amended or retracted, so the correction reaches you and a retracted paper is withdrawn rather than left standing.
Use it to find and triage evidence for yourself. Do not present a summary to a patient as clinical guidance, and do not enter identifiable patient information into search.
The summary and the bibliographic record are always free to read. Where the full text sits behind a paywall we link you to the publisher’s page — we do not host or bypass paywalls.
Yes — contact us and we will set one up. Shared billing for a department or clinic is arranged by hand today.
Report it from the paper page and say what is wrong. We regenerate that summary against the source, then correct or remove it. Those reports are how our checks get better.
The latest research, in plain language.
Peer-reviewed papers read in full and summarised for practising therapists — what was done, what it found, and what it does not show.
A 29-item health survey (PROMIS-29) can be feasibly administered to English speakers in Switzerland: 156 of 215 invited adults finished it, and the instrument showed acceptable reliability and validity. This is a feasibility check, not evidence that any treatment works.
