# MedResearcher-R1 Guide

## Overview

MedResearcher-R1 is a medical deep research agent that combines clinical reasoning chains with iterative literature search to answer complex medical questions. Unlike general research agents, it is specialized for medical evidence — understanding clinical trial designs, PICO frameworks, evidence hierarchies, and medical terminology. Uses reasoning chain analysis (R1) to decompose clinical questions and systematically gather evidence.

## Architecture

## Usage

```python
from med_researcher_r1 import MedResearcherR1

researcher = MedResearcherR1(
    llm_provider="anthropic",
    search_backends=["pubmed", "clinical_trials", "cochrane"],
)

# Complex clinical question
result = researcher.research(
    question="In patients with treatment-resistant depression, "
             "how does psilocybin-assisted therapy compare to "
             "esketamine in terms of remission rates and "
             "long-term outcomes?",
    evidence_level="systematic",  # systematic, rapid, scoping
    max_papers=50,
)

print(result.summary)
print(f"\nEvidence quality: {result.evidence_grade}")
print(f"Papers analyzed: {len(result.papers)}")
```

## Reasoning Chain

```python
# Inspect the R1 reasoning chain
for step in result.reasoning_chain:
    print(f"\nStep {step.number}: {step.type}")
    print(f"  Question: {step.question}")
    print(f"  Strategy: {step.search_strategy}")
    print(f"  Findings: {step.key_finding}")
    print(f"  Next: {step.next_action}")

# Example chain:
# Step 1: DECOMPOSE — Split into psilocybin efficacy,
#          esketamine efficacy, head-to-head comparisons
# Step 2: SEARCH — PubMed: psilocybin depression RCT
# Step 3: EXTRACT — 3 RCTs found, extract PICO + outcomes
# Step 4: SEARCH — PubMed: esketamine depression outcomes
# Step 5: SYNTHESIZE — Compare evidence, note no direct
#          head-to-head trials exist
# Step 6: CONCLUDE — Indirect comparison with caveats
```

## Evidence Grading

```python
# GRADE methodology for evidence quality
for paper in result.papers[:5]:
    print(f"\n{paper.title} ({paper.year})")
    print(f"  Design: {paper.study_design}")
    print(f"  Sample: {paper.sample_size}")
    print(f"  Grade: {paper.evidence_grade}")
    print(f"  Risk of bias: {paper.risk_of_bias}")

# Aggregate evidence
print(f"\nOverall certainty: {result.certainty}")
# HIGH / MODERATE / LOW / VERY LOW
print(f"Recommendation: {result.recommendation}")
```

## Medical Search Configuration

```python
researcher = MedResearcherR1(
    search_config={
        "pubmed": {
            "use_mesh": True,
            "date_range": "2019/01/01:2025/12/31",
            "article_types": [
                "Randomized Controlled Trial",
                "Meta-Analysis",
                "Systematic Review",
            ],
        },
        "clinical_trials": {
            "status": ["Completed", "Active, not recruiting"],
            "phase": ["Phase 3", "Phase 4"],
        },
    },
    reasoning_config={
        "max_chain_length": 10,
        "reflection_enabled": True,
        "uncertainty_explicit": True,
    },
)
```

## Clinical Use Cases

1. **Clinical queries**: Evidence-based answers to medical questions
2. **Drug comparison**: Indirect comparison when no head-to-head data
3. **Guideline review**: Check evidence supporting clinical guidelines
4. **Case analysis**: Literature context for unusual presentations
5. **Grant proposals**: Evidence landscape for research funding

Is Med Researcher R1 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 R1 Guide access on my machine?

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

Which assistants does Med Researcher R1 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.
