Medical Disclaimer

For informational purposes only

MedBrief provides summaries of publicly available medical research studies. This content is intended to help patients understand what research exists on their condition — not to guide medical decisions.

Reading a study summary on MedBrief is not a substitute for consulting a doctor, gastroenterologist, dietitian, or other qualified healthcare provider who knows your individual health history.

AI-generated summaries may contain errors

Our summaries are generated by artificial intelligence and reviewed by a second AI agent. While we work hard to ensure accuracy, AI can misinterpret, simplify, or omit important nuances from scientific studies.

Every summary page includes a link to the original study. If a finding seems significant to your health, please read the original paper and discuss it with your healthcare provider.

Research is not the same as clinical guidance

A study showing that a treatment “improved symptoms in X% of patients” does not mean that treatment is right for you. Medical research describes population-level findings. Your individual circumstances, other conditions, medications, and health history all affect what is appropriate for your care.

Quality badges (Gold Standard, Large Study, etc.) indicate the strength of evidence in a study, not the clinical relevance of its findings to any individual patient.

Do not delay seeking medical care

Do not ignore, delay, or discontinue professional medical advice or treatment because of something you read on MedBrief. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately.

No endorsement of treatments

The presence of a study on MedBrief does not constitute an endorsement of any treatment, drug, supplement, intervention, or therapy mentioned in that study. We summarise the research — we do not recommend any course of action.
