Trials kept as registry records, not as papers about them

Trial registrations kept as registry records — phase, sponsor and recruiting status intact — beside the medical literature and reference material that surrounds them.

Two shelves, measured

What the registries and the literature actually amount to.

Study type is the breakdown that matters here: a registered trial and an evidence synthesis answer different questions.

The evidence ladder

From a registered study to a settled reference entry.

01

Trials as registry records

A study's registered design — phase, sponsor, recruiting status — is kept distinct from the paper written about it afterwards.

02

Population, not just headline result

Who a trial enrolled is read as structured detail, because it usually decides whether a result applies.

03

Literature kept apart from commentary

The published paper is separated from summaries and press coverage of it.

04

Settled reference entries

Encyclopedia-grade medical reference, read from the maintained entry rather than a copy of it.

Questions

On currency, and what is browsable today.

Are trial records kept current?
They're read from the registries directly, so a status change — recruiting, completed, terminated — is reflected without a manual re-check.
Do I need the Med workspace to see this?
No. The clinical-trials and medical-research collections are browsable today. Med itself is on the roadmap and will read this same material once it ships.
Where it gets read

The clinical and research rooms.

Med
A second pair of eyes for health.
Research
Studies that cite their sources.
Knowledge
All your tools, one source of truth.
Docs
The manual, but readable.
