• Find the original paper or trial registry and record the publication date, identifier and study status.
• Confirm the exact molecule and formulation. A related compound or analogue is not interchangeable evidence.
• Identify whether the work studied cells, animals, measurements in people or an intervention in people.
• Check the population, sample size, comparison group, allocation and blinding. Ask whether the design answers the claim being made.
• Read the measured outcomes, follow-up and adverse events. A biomarker or proposed mechanism is not the same as a demonstrated clinical benefit.
• Separate a trial registration from published results. Separate evidence on individual substances from evidence on their combination.
• State the main limitation alongside the finding. Do not turn uncertain evidence into personal treatment instructions.
• Bring the source and one clear question to the community. Remove private medical information before sharing.
