How papers reach the surgical retina & vitreous brief

  1. Source. Every paper is fetched directly from PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov. No paywalled aggregators. No editorial press releases.
  2. Grading. Each paper is assigned an evidence level from L1 (RCT or meta-analysis) to L5 (editorial). Bias risk is flagged separately. Both labels are visible on every card.
  3. Summarization. A 5-gate validator stack checks every summary for source faithfulness, numeric accuracy, drug-safety language, unsupported claims, and clinical-decision overreach. Anything that fails a gate is blocked, not silently weakened.
  4. Delivery. Ten papers. Twelve minutes. Every weekday at 06:00 CET. Subscribers can rate any paper as off-topic and it drops out of their feed.

The full pipeline, validators, and the founder's editorial overrides are documented on the methodology page.
