The literature
We publish the evidence, including the gaps.
We keep an index of the peer-reviewed literature for every compound class we list, retrieved from PubMed and linked to source by PMID. Where a class has no randomised controlled trials in humans, the index says zero — because a number you can verify is worth more than an adjective we chose.
