A verdict isn’t enough. See how the evidence is built.

Every report takes the claim apart into the things that actually decide whether it holds: how much human evidence exists, whether the studies agree, how good they are, what contradicts them, and where the whole thing breaks down.

Evidence anatomy · illustrative layout

Six dimensions

01 · Evidence strength

How much weight the human evidence actually carries.

Not a probability and not a p-value — a heuristic read on the size, quality and consistency of what has been demonstrated in people.

Replicated human trialsIn vitro only

02 · Biological mechanism

Could it work, and does that matter?

A plausible pathway is not a result. Mechanism and demonstrated outcome stay in separate columns, because conflating them is how most health claims go wrong.

Where the claim breaks

  • Studied in athletes, claimed for everyone
  • Measured a marker, not an outcome
  • One trial, never replicated
  • Doses no one would realistically take

08 · Source trail

26

Every source it read, listed and linked.

Records come from Europe PMC and Crossref, not from the model’s memory. If nothing solid was found, the report says so instead of filling the gap.

  • [1]Meta-analysis14 trials pooled
  • [2]RCTRandomised crossover
  • [3]CohortProspective, n = 4,100
  • [4]AnimalRodent model

Three stages. No shortcuts.

The pipeline is deliberately boring: structure the claim, go and read, then report what is there — including when the answer is that nobody really knows yet.

  1. 01

    Submit the claim

    Paste a sentence, a link, a DOI, a paper or a screenshot. MyAtomy restates it as a precise, testable question and breaks it into population, exposure, outcome and mechanism.

  2. 02

    MyAtomy traces the evidence

    Several search angles run against biomedical literature databases. Results are deduplicated and ranked on relevance and design before anything is synthesised.

  3. 03

    See what survives scrutiny

    The evidence is weighed against the claim as written — what it supports, what it does not, where the studies disagree, and how confident anyone should be.

Not all evidence is the same weight.

Different claims need different evidence. A question about a biological pathway can be settled in a dish. A question about whether people live longer cannot.

  1. 01

    Systematic reviews & meta-analyses

    Strongest prior

    Pool many studies to estimate an overall effect. Powerful when the underlying trials are good, misleading when they are not.

  2. 02

    Randomised controlled trials

    Strongest prior

    Randomisation is the cleanest way to separate an effect from the people who happened to receive it.

  3. 03

    Controlled human trials

    Strong prior

    Non-randomised but controlled human work. Useful, more open to confounding and selection effects.

  4. 04

    Observational evidence

    Strong prior

    Cohorts and case-control studies show association at scale. They rarely establish causation on their own.

  5. 05

    Case studies & series

    Moderate prior

    Detailed accounts of a few individuals. Good for generating hypotheses, weak for general conclusions.

  6. 06

    Animal research

    Moderate prior

    Establishes biological possibility. Doses, physiology and lifespans differ enough that translation often fails.

  7. 07

    In-vitro & mechanistic work

    Weakest prior

    Cells in a dish show a pathway can operate. It does not show the pathway matters in a living human.

The same sentence, taken apart.

A claim arrives as one confident line. Underneath it are five separate questions, and they rarely all have the same answer.

The claim

“X has been scientifically proven to improve Y.”

Confident, quotable, and impossible to check as written. It names no population, no dose, no comparison and no timeframe.

Each phrase hides a question

  • scientifically proven How strong is the evidence, really?
  • improve By how much, measured how?
  • Y In whom, and does it cause it?

The anatomy

Example layout
Evidence
Mixed

Credible studies point both ways.

Confidence
Moderate

Enough literature to judge, not enough to settle.

Human evidence
Limited

Small, short trials in narrow populations.

Mechanism
Plausible

A pathway exists. That is not a result.

Causality
Not established

Association, not demonstrated cause.

the spin.

Run an analysis

Built for people who question the claim.

MyAtomy was created around a simple principle: before accepting or rejecting a scientific claim, inspect the evidence underneath it.

The premise

Science shouldn’t require a translator.

MyAtomy separates what a claim says from what the research can actually support. It is built to disagree with whoever is wrong — the person who submitted the claim, the source it came from, popular opinion, and the person who built it. Analyses are not tuned toward any individual’s views.

FAQ

Questions worth asking.

Claims about health, biology, medicine, nutrition, genetics and physiology — the sort of statement that research could in principle support or undercut. It handles a single sentence, a paragraph of marketing copy, a paper, or a screenshot of a post. It is not built for questions about politics, law, finance or history, and it will say so rather than improvise.

It searches Europe PMC, which indexes PubMed, MEDLINE, preprint servers and full-text open-access articles, and uses Crossref to resolve DOIs. Several search angles run for each claim, results are deduplicated and ranked, and the model may only cite records that were actually retrieved. It cannot cite from memory.

No. It explains what published research shows. It does not diagnose, does not recommend starting, stopping or changing any medication or dose, and does not account for your own history. If you are deciding something about your own care, the report is background reading for a conversation with a clinician, not a substitute for one.

Yes, and it switches to a different report when you give it one. Paper Anatomy covers the design, population, methods, effect size, statistical versus practical significance, strengths, weaknesses, confounders, whether the authors' conclusion matches their own data, and what coverage of a paper like this typically overstates. Paste a DOI, a PubMed link or the abstract, or upload the PDF.

Yes. Upload a screenshot of a post, an infographic, a chart or a supplement advert and MyAtomy transcribes what it can read and lists the testable claims it found. You pick which one to dissect. Text recovered from an image can be partial or misread, so the transcription is shown to you rather than treated as fact.

Confidence describes how much the retrieved literature can settle the question — quality, consistency, how directly the studies address the claim, and how much of the relevant work appears to have been found. It is separate from the size of any effect. A large effect shown once in a small trial gets low confidence; a small effect replicated across good trials can get high confidence.

A 0-100 heuristic summarising how much weight the human evidence carries for the claim as written. It is a reading aid, not a statistic: it is not a probability, not a p-value, and not a clinical measure. Two people could reasonably disagree about a given number. The written report is the substance; the score is a shorthand.

Yes. Every analysis is free today and nothing on the site can charge you. There is a limit of 5 analyses per browser per day so the service stays available for everyone. Pay-as-you-go pricing is planned for later, with no subscription.

No. There is no sign-up, no sign-in and no password. Your recent reports are stored in your own browser, on your own device, and clearing your browser data clears them.

When checkout opens, you will pick an analysis, send the exact amount in USDC or SOL on Solana, and the analysis will run. No subscription, no stored card, no account. It is not live yet, and no wallet connection is requested anywhere in the product today.
