Transparent by design

The sources behind the links.

Research metadata comes from Europe PMC, with direct links to PubMed. News and articles come from the American College of Surgeons. US policy documents come from the Federal Register.

Source checks run automatically when the site is visited, at most once an hour. The list keeps its previous links if a source fails. This is not a real-time alert service; background checks while the site is unvisited are not yet scheduled.

Research links are retrieved with specialty-specific title searches. Broad surgical and policy articles can appear in every specialty. Federal Register results match “surgery” and pass a surgical-practice title filter; proposed rules, final rules, and notices are labeled separately. This is US federal coverage, not a comprehensive legal database.

Takeaways use available research abstracts, official summaries, or retrieved article text. New links can receive short, complete source excerpts automatically; longer original paraphrases are added after source review. Missing abstracts are left without a fabricated conclusion.
