Full Critique
Comprehensive Critique
Runs the full five-axis methodology rubric across design validity, comparator alignment, bias control, measurement integrity, and clinical interpretation.
Start Critique →Design Validity
Study Design
Checks whether the design can answer the stated question without relying on analysis choices to rescue a weak setup.
Start Critique →Comparator / Estimand
Treatment Contrast
Tests whether the comparator, time zero, and estimand match the clinical decision the study claims to inform.
Start Critique →Bias Control
Validity Threats
Flags confounding, selection bias, informative censoring, unblinding, immortal time, and other threats to the main inference.
Start Critique →Measurement / Follow-up
Outcome Integrity
Assesses endpoint validity, missingness, attrition, ascertainment, and whether follow-up supports the reported claim.
Start Critique →Clinical Interpretation
Claim Discipline
Checks whether the conclusions are proportional to the design, safety signals, uncertainty, and real clinical decision value.
