Evidence

01

Evidence Summary

Attach a paper and get a one-page brief: the clinical question, the design, the main result with absolute numbers and confidence intervals, the three limitations that matter most, and a bottom line no stronger than the data. It tells you when it only had the abstract to work from.

02

Critical Appraisal

Works through a study domain by domain: comparator, selection, confounding, outcomes, statistics and spin. You get a table rating how much each problem could change the conclusion, plus the one question the authors most need to answer.

03

Statistics Explainer

Explains what a number in a paper really means, from relative and absolute risk to NNT, odds ratios, confidence intervals and predictive values. It shows the arithmetic, flags common misreadings, and gives you one sentence you could say to a patient.

04

Guideline Comparator

Puts ACOG, SMFM, RCOG, NICE, WHO and other recommendations on one question side by side, each with its year and strength of evidence. It shows where they agree, where they differ and why, and never quotes a guideline from memory without saying so.

Checking AI and references

05

AI Output Check

Paste an answer from any AI tool and it is checked claim by claim. Every statement is marked verified, incorrect, unverifiable or opinion, every citation is looked up, and you get an overall verdict and the single highest-risk error.

06

Citation Verifier

Confirms that each reference exists, corrects wrong details, and checks whether it actually supports the sentence it is attached to. Missing DOIs or pages are marked unconfirmed rather than filled in, so nothing invented reaches your manuscript.

Writing and publishing

07

Manuscript Tightener

Cuts a manuscript, abstract or section to a word limit without touching numbers, citations or the strength of any claim. It reports the new word count and lists any cut you need to approve.

08

Research Letter Builder

Turns a focused finding into a research letter of about 600 words with the standard four parts and one key table or figure. It confirms the main finding with you first and leaves clear placeholders instead of inventing references.

09

Journal Cover Letter

Writes a one-page cover letter to the editor with the question, the main finding, why it suits the journal, and the statements journals require. Plain and confident, with no exaggeration of novelty.

10

Response to Reviewers

Splits a decision letter into numbered comments and drafts a courteous, point-by-point reply stating exactly what changed and where. Comments that need your decision are listed at the top.

11

Peer Review Report

Helps you organize a fair and specific review: a summary, major and minor comments with suggested fixes, confidential notes to the editor, and a closing Recommendation. It reminds you to check the journal's policy on AI use in peer review.

12

Clinical Language Check

Reviews clinical text for imprecise, outdated or stigmatizing terms such as "elective" induction, "provider", "failed" labor or "noncompliant". Each one comes with a precise, respectful alternative and the reason.

Patients and consent

14

Shared Decision Aid

Builds a one-page comparison of the options with benefits and harms in absolute numbers on the same denominator, plus questions about what matters to the patient. When the evidence clearly favors one option, it says so, because shared decision-making is not neutrality.

15

Patient Education Handout

Writes a calm, plain-language handout on a condition, test or procedure, with clear steps, warning signs and when to call. It ends with a teach-back question and a dated source line.

16

Difficult Conversation Prep

Helps you plan a hard conversation, such as bad news, a poor prognosis or disclosing an error, using the SPIKES framework. You get the core message in plain words, phrases to use and avoid, and the questions you are likely to be asked.

Ethics, teaching and public communication

17

Ethics Consult Analysis

Organizes an ethically difficult case using the professional responsibility model: beneficence-based and autonomy-based obligations, justice, and preventive ethics. It supports discussion and does not replace your institution's ethics consultation service.

18

Teaching Case Builder

Creates a fully fictional, staged teaching case for students or residents, with discussion questions, evidence-based teaching points and optional multiple-choice questions. It never draws on real patient charts.

19

Paper to Post

Turns a study into an accurate LinkedIn post under 1,200 characters: the finding stated plainly, the key number, the main limitation and the citation. No hype, and it reports the character count.

20

Misinformation Response

Answers a health myth calmly and respectfully, leading with the accurate fact rather than the myth, with a named source and a practical takeaway. Length fits the channel, from a short reply to a one-page explainer.
