Quickly evaluate the level of scientific agreement on the posed question.

Check the "Consensus Meter" displaying the percentage of studies supporting, opposing, or showing mixed results.

If there are many mixed results, exercise caution when using this claim in official content.

Filter by Research Quality

Prioritize studies with a robust design and a large sample size.

Use the Study Type and Sample Size filters to retain only randomized controlled trials or large sample studies.

Prioritize studies that are highly cited and published within the last 5-10 years.

Read Key Findings Summary of Top Papers

Quickly look at the main results of leading studies relevant to your question.

Open each top paper, read the key findings summary provided by Consensus.

Note any study limitations (dosage, test subjects) to avoid over-interpretation.

Cite Correctly in Content

Incorporate verified information into marketing content with appropriate citations.

Rephrase the research findings in plain language, and note the research source at the bottom of the page if transparency is needed.

Avoid interpreting research results more strongly than the actual findings, especially with health-related claims.
