# Med-Researcher Guide

## Overview

Med-Researcher is a multi-agent system designed specifically for biomedical literature review. It orchestrates specialized agents for searching PubMed and other medical databases, extracting structured evidence from clinical papers, and synthesizing findings into evidence-graded summaries. Particularly useful for clinical evidence reviews, drug interaction research, and systematic reviews in medicine.

## Architecture

### Agent Roles

```
Query → Planning Agent (decomposes clinical question)
            ↓
      Search Agent (PubMed, PMC, clinical trials)
            ↓
      Extraction Agent (PICO, outcomes, evidence grade)
            ↓
      Synthesis Agent (evidence summary, contradictions)
            ↓
      Report Agent (structured review output)
```

### Agent Descriptions

| Agent | Role |
|-------|------|
| **Planner** | Converts clinical question to PICO format, generates sub-queries |
| **Searcher** | Queries PubMed, PMC, ClinicalTrials.gov |
| **Extractor** | Extracts structured data: population, intervention, outcomes |
| **Synthesizer** | Grades evidence, identifies consensus and contradictions |
| **Reporter** | Generates formatted review with citations |

## Usage

```python
from med_researcher import MedResearcher

researcher = MedResearcher(
    llm_provider="anthropic",
    search_backends=["pubmed", "pmc", "clinical_trials"],
)

# Clinical question
result = researcher.review(
    question="What is the comparative efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors "
             "versus GLP-1 receptor agonists for cardiovascular "
             "outcomes in type 2 diabetes?",
    max_papers=50,
    evidence_grading=True,
)

print(result.summary)
print(f"Papers analyzed: {len(result.papers)}")
print(f"Evidence grade: {result.overall_grade}")
```

## PICO Framework Integration

```python
# Automatic PICO extraction from clinical question
pico = researcher.extract_pico(
    "Does metformin reduce cancer incidence in diabetic patients?"
)
# P: patients with diabetes
# I: metformin treatment
# C: no metformin / other antidiabetics
# O: cancer incidence

# Search with PICO components
result = researcher.review_pico(
    population="type 2 diabetes patients",
    intervention="metformin",
    comparison="placebo or other antidiabetics",
    outcome="cancer incidence",
)
```

## Evidence Grading

```python
# Evidence levels following GRADE methodology
for paper in result.papers:
    print(f"{paper.title}")
    print(f"  Study type: {paper.study_type}")  # RCT, cohort, case-control
    print(f"  Evidence level: {paper.evidence_level}")  # High/Moderate/Low/Very Low
    print(f"  Risk of bias: {paper.bias_risk}")
    print(f"  Sample size: {paper.sample_size}")

# Aggregate evidence summary
print(f"\nOverall certainty: {result.certainty}")
print(f"Recommendation strength: {result.recommendation}")
```

## Search Configuration

```python
researcher = MedResearcher(
    search_config={
        "pubmed": {
            "max_results": 100,
            "date_range": ("2020-01-01", "2025-12-31"),
            "article_types": ["Clinical Trial", "Meta-Analysis",
                              "Randomized Controlled Trial"],
        },
        "clinical_trials": {
            "status": ["Completed", "Active"],
            "phase": ["Phase 3", "Phase 4"],
        },
    },
    extraction_config={
        "fields": ["population", "intervention", "comparator",
                   "primary_outcome", "secondary_outcomes",
                   "adverse_events", "sample_size", "follow_up"],
    },
)
```

## Output Formats

```python
# Structured evidence table
result.export_evidence_table("evidence_table.csv")

# PRISMA flow diagram data
prisma = result.prisma_flow()
print(f"Identified: {prisma['identified']}")
print(f"Screened: {prisma['screened']}")
print(f"Included: {prisma['included']}")

# Bibliography
result.export_bibtex("references.bib")

# Full report
result.export_report("review.md", format="markdown")
```

## Clinical Use Cases

1. **Drug comparison reviews**: Head-to-head efficacy analysis
2. **Safety signal detection**: Adverse event pattern identification
3. **Guideline evidence**: Supporting clinical guideline development
4. **Grant proposals**: Rapid evidence landscape assessment
5. **Journal clubs**: Structured paper discussion preparation

Questions

What does the Med Researcher Guide skill do?

🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库,覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI 20分钟完成一篇可复现的规范实证论文,并支持用户上传 Skills。-- Maintained by CoPaper.AI from Stanford REAP.

Is Med Researcher Guide safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Med Researcher Guide access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

Which assistants does Med Researcher Guide work with?

Its documentation mentions openclaw. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e1ba289846fd), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
