When you want the detail

You can follow the trail.

Plain English on the surface. Original sources underneath.

This is an exploratory search, not a systematic review of all the evidence.

What’s covered

Each weekly check covers English sources, PubMed, and the WHO’s international trial registry platform, which draws on registries from China, Japan, Germany, Korea and elsewhere. It also searches two more languages in depth, in rotation: Chinese and Japanese, German and French, Korean and Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Before the weekly checks began, we also read a German clinical guideline, a German consumer test and a French manufacturer page by hand. The list below includes guidelines, studies, regulators, manufacturer information and public education. These are not interchangeable kinds of evidence; each note says what we read and its limits.

What’s still missing

We haven’t directly searched CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, Ichushi, J-STAGE, Embase or Cochrane. Some research leads couldn’t be read and haven’t been used. Prices and return terms outside the US are mostly unchecked.
