Source corrections at Shop PT-141
The sentence, the page and the source are the useful starting points.
Name the passage that needs another look
A correction is easiest to assess when it names the page and includes the exact sentence, followed by the paper or label passage that conflicts with it. A title, DOI or PubMed identifier helps distinguish similarly named studies. I’m especially interested in a result attributed to the wrong population or a warning that has been separated from its claim.
A source correction can also concern a broken link or a later editorial notice. “This sounds too confident” is useful criticism; the passage that makes it too confident gives the criticism a place to land. The PT-141 reading list contains the sources used here.
Medical decisions need a different conversation
This is a research commentary site. Personal symptoms, medical records, injection questions and requests for a prescription or an amount do not belong in a source-correction message. A clinician’s assessment is a different task from checking whether a sentence accurately describes a paper.
I can reconsider an interpretation against the published evidence. I cannot supply care or turn a study finding into an individual treatment decision. About the site explains its purpose.
