What it does

The task

Find the research on treatment for condition. Search PubMed and Google Scholar, and use systematic reviews, meta-analyses and randomized trials from the last 10 years first. Read at least 12 sources. For each main study, give the type, the number of people, the result and the link. Write a summary of 300 words or fewer in plain words: what works, how large the effect is, the side effects and how strong the evidence is. Do not give medical advice. End with 5 questions to ask a doctor.

  • It works in PubMed and Google Scholar, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
  • It uses Odyssey, the deep-research mode of the Pro and Team plans, and keeps a citation for each fact.

What you get back

An example run with the example values above. Your run uses your own data.

Magnesium supplements for migraine prevention in adults (14 sources)

Best evidence: 2 meta-analyses (2021, 2024) and 9 small randomized trials

Effect: about 1 to 2 fewer migraine days each month in most trials

Evidence strength: low to moderate. Most trials had fewer than 100 people.

Side effects: diarrhoea in 10% to 20% of people at 600 mg each day

Guidelines: 2 headache societies list it as a possible option

This is not medical advice.

Questions for your doctor:

  • Which form and dose is right for me?
  • Can it interact with my other medicines?
  • How long should I try it before I decide?
