# Biomedical News Fact-Checker & Research Evidence Finder |
|
|
|
|
|
This app helps you understand if the scientific claims in health or biomedical news articles are supported by real research. |
|
|
|
|
|
## What does this app do? |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Extracts key scientific claims** from a news article. |
|
|
- **Finds the most relevant PubMed biomedical research papers** for each claim. |
|
|
- **Checks which sentences in those papers support, contradict, or are neutral** to each claim (color-coded: green=support, red=contradict, gray=neutral). |
|
|
- **Gives you a simple, plain-English summary** of the overall evidence for each claim. |
|
|
|
|
|
## How do I use it? |
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Paste the link to any health or biomedical news article** (for example, from Medical News Today or similar sites). |
|
|
2. **Click the submit/run button.** |
|
|
3. **Wait for the results** (this may take a minute, especially the first time you use the app). |
|
|
4. For each main claim in the article, you’ll see: |
|
|
- A short summary verdict in plain language. |
|
|
- A list of color-coded evidence sentences from research papers. |
|
|
- The titles of the most relevant PubMed articles. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Who is this for? |
|
|
|
|
|
- Curious readers, students, journalists, researchers, or anyone who wants to check if a news story’s science is backed up by real research. |
|
|
|
|
|
## What is special about this app? |
|
|
|
|
|
- **No account, no sign-up, no private info required.** |
|
|
- **No paid or cloud AI services:** Everything runs here using open-source AI. |
|
|
- **Designed for health/biomedical news, but can work on most science articles.** |
