- For
- Health researchers preparing manuscripts for review
- Worth noticing
- Its worked example identifies a missing distance-measurement method and points to the paragraph and STROBE item involved.
Field notes
The sample uses invented study material and shows a checklist finding tied to a specific methods paragraph, including what information is missing. The proposed workflow names guideline families such as CONSORT, STROBE, and COREQ, and says it will quote manuscript passages rather than generate replacement prose. The page describes identifier scanning before model calls and deletion safeguards, but its “Tell me when it opens” button indicates the main service may not yet be available.
