SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Reading and critically appraising medical research papers requires distinguishing study designs, judging evidence strength, and avoiding overclaimed conclusions, which is time-consuming and error-prone for clinicians, bioinformaticians, and bench researchers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-Type Classification and Track Routing: Classifies papers into clinical/epidemiology, bioinformatics, basic experimental, or hybrid tracks and applies the matching appraisal checklist. - Structured Critical Appraisal Reports: Produces a 14-section report covering study type, strengths, weaknesses, evidence strength rating, interpretation boundaries, related literature, and follow-up questions. - Deliverable Plugins: Generates journal club kits, comparison tables, PI decision briefs, replication starters, mind maps, and follow-up experiment designs on request. - Use Case: A researcher pastes a TCGA prognostic signature paper's abstract and receives a full appraisal flagging overfitting risk, missing external validation, and the gap between computational association and functional proof. ## Quick Start Analyze this paper PDF and give me a full critical appraisal with its evidence strength rating and follow-up questions.

Frequently Asked Questions about medical-research-literature-reader-pro

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I critically appraise a medical research paper?▼

Provide the paper as a PDF, abstract, DOI, PMID, or title and request an analysis. The skill classifies the study type, routes it to the correct appraisal track, and returns a structured report covering strengths, weaknesses, evidence strength, and interpretation boundaries.

How to prepare a journal club presentation from a paper?▼

Request the Journal Club Discussion Kit plugin after the standard analysis. It produces a background opener, three key findings, three strengths, three concerns, five discussion questions, and a one-sentence take-home message.

Can I analyze a paper with only an abstract or PMID?▼

Yes, the skill works with whatever input is provided, including abstracts, titles, DOIs, or PMIDs. Sections requiring full text, such as figure review and detailed statistical reporting, are explicitly marked as unavailable rather than fabricated.

What types of studies does this literature analysis support?▼

It supports clinical and epidemiological studies, bioinformatics and multi-omics papers, basic experimental research, and hybrid papers combining computational discovery with wet-lab validation or clinical data with machine learning.

Does the skill detect overclaiming in research papers?▼

Yes, it flags language that overstates the evidence level, such as claiming causation from observational data or therapeutic targets from database mining alone. Overclaims are reported in the interpretation-boundary section with corrected statements.

What are the limitations of automated paper appraisal?▼

The skill cannot retrieve papers it has no access to and will not fabricate content from identifiers alone. Related-literature suggestions may require verification against a live database, and it does not write manuscript sections from scratch.
