What We Analyze
Funding Conflicts & Undisclosed Interests
We detect potential conflicts of interest including:
- Undisclosed industry funding (pharma, tobacco, food industry)
- Financial ties between authors and commercial entities
- Discrepancies between declared and actual funding sources
- Historical funding patterns from public databases
Methodology Assessment
Our AI evaluates study design quality:
- Evidence hierarchy ranking: Where does this study fall? (RCT, cohort, case-control, case series)
- Gold standard comparison: Does methodology meet field-specific standards?
- Bias risk assessment: Selection bias, measurement bias, confounding factors
- Replication potential: Is the methodology clearly documented?
Statistical Power Analysis
We assess whether the study has sufficient statistical power:
- Sample size adequacy: Is N large enough to detect real effects?
- Post-hoc power calculations: What was the actual power given observed effect sizes?
- Multiple comparison corrections: Did they adjust for multiple testing?
- Effect size interpretation: Clinical vs. statistical significance
Citation Quality & Templates
Ready-to-use citations in multiple formats:
- APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver, Harvard styles
- Properly formatted with DOI links
- Copy-paste directly into your bibliography
Retraction & Correction Checks
We cross-reference against:
- Retraction Watch database
- Publisher errata and corrections
- Expressions of concern
- Post-publication peer review commentary
Understanding Your Report
Overall Integrity Score
The integrity score (0-100) is a weighted composite of multiple factors:
80-100: High
Rigorous methodology, transparent funding, no red flags
50-79: Moderate
Some concerns or limitations noted
0-49: Low
Significant issues identified; cite with caution
Note: This score supplements, not replaces, your expert judgment. Always review the detailed findings.
Section Breakdown
Funding & Conflicts: Lists all disclosed funding sources and analyzes transparency. Red flags include missing disclosures or industry sponsorship without mitigation measures.
Methodology Benchmark: Compares the study design to gold standards in the field (e.g., RCTs for clinical trials, proper controls for lab studies).
Statistical Power: Reports whether the study had enough participants/data to detect the claimed effects. Power < 0.80 suggests underpowered.
Citation Templates: Pre-formatted citations for your bibliography. Just copy-paste into your document.
