Eight labels describe what kind of claim each sentence is. Confidence and source access are tracked separately.
1 · Quick understanding
Every important sentence carries a label. Tap it to see the sources. A page can mix labels — a patient observation next to a research finding next to a hypothesis — and each keeps its own status.
Clinical guidance: What a national guideline, regulator or product licence says. Guidance shapes practice; it does not guarantee a particular prescription.
Research finding: A finding from published research. Check the study design: a trial, a registry comparison and a case report carry very different weight.
Institutional position: What an NHS body or service has said or decided, in its own records. It shows their position, not that the position is correct.
Patient observation: What a patient observed or reported. Recorded by a clinician or not, it remains a report until measured or independently corroborated.
Hypothesis: A proposed explanation that has not been tested. Included because it generates useful questions — never as a basis for changing treatment alone.
Contested account: Two or more accounts of the same event disagree. Both are shown; neither is treated as settled until records resolve it.
Missing source: A source that should exist and has not been obtained or checked. Absence from reviewed records does not mean the event did not happen.
Formal finding: A formal finding by a body with authority to make it — a coroner, ombudsman, regulator or court.
2 · Three separate questions
What kind of claim is it? — the label.
How strong is the evidence? — confidence: strong, moderate, limited or pending.
What did we actually read? — access: full text, abstract, supplied document, or pointer only. A strong study read only in abstract is still marked as abstract.
3 · How to use it
Turn labels off with the Labels button for a clean read; turn them on to check.
Use the depth dial to stop at the level you need.
Hover any internal link for a preview; the map beside each page shows what connects to it.
5 · Release states
Pages move through: proposed → drafted → sourced → medically/editorially reviewed → integrated → checked → published. The current state is shown under each title.
