01 / Research essentials
Science is a process, not a headline.
Understanding how a study is designed and interpreted can help readers approach scientific claims responsibly.
Consider the design
Sample size, study population, comparison groups, and methods influence the strength of findings.
Read the limitations
Results should be interpreted within the conditions studied, without unsupported extrapolation.
02 / Evidence literacy
Ask better questions.
Laboratory observations, animal studies, and human clinical trials answer different questions. Findings from one setting do not automatically apply to another.
01 Check the source and study date.
02 Identify who or what was studied.
03 Review limitations and uncertainty.
04 Avoid assuming preliminary findings prove clinical benefit.
