MedPrism analyzes published research papers for methodology, transparency, and publication integrity signals — then surfaces Points to Consider and a plain-language "What This Means for You" section to help clinicians and researchers quickly decide whether a paper deserves closer scrutiny before applying or citing its findings.
Multiple comparisons without correction, post-hoc analyses presented as pre-specified, borderline p-values, effect size plausibility, and unusual statistical patterns that may indicate data issues.
Selective outcome reporting, outcome switching between registration and publication, inconsistencies between methods and results sections, and overclaiming relative to study design.
Retraction history, journal credibility screening, predatory publisher detection, DOI verification, and cross-referencing against external integrity databases.
Conflict of interest statements, data availability, funding disclosure, and trial or study pre-registration — assessed as informational disclosures, not as red flags.
An assessment gauge and one of three verdicts — Read Carefully, Read Critically, or Use With Caution.
A concise summary of the paper's integrity profile written for a clinical audience — not a technical report.
Observations that are judged worth careful consideration — not integrity violations, but things that may warrant attention and may have legitimate explanations.
Plain-language guidance on how to interpret and apply or cite the research — relevant whether you're a clinician or a researcher building on the findings.
Each flag includes severity, category, explanation, and a supporting excerpt from the paper itself.
Structured assessment of COI statements, data availability, funding disclosure, and pre-registration.
Retraction Watch, ClinicalTrials.gov, DOI verification, DOAJ status, and predatory publisher screening.
