About Consensus
Consensus answers questions the way scientists wish the internet did: its Consensus Meter shows what share of relevant studies say yes, no, or maybe, each claim linked to the paper behind it. Quality indicators flag journal rank and study design, so you can weight a meta-analysis over a mouse study. It is the fastest sanity-check available for evidence questions.
