🏆 Overall Evidence Ranking (0-100 points)

This green score combines multiple evidence factors into a comprehensive ranking.

1. Evidence Quality (35 points max)

Based on average study quality scores:


                        Score = (Average Study Quality / 100) × 35 points

Example: If average study quality is 80/100, this contributes (80/100) × 35 = 28 points

2. Study Diversity & Quality (20 points max)

Rewards diverse, high-quality evidence:

Human study ratio: (Human studies / Total extracted studies) × 8 points
RCT ratio: (RCT studies / Total extracted studies) × 6 points
Extraction coverage: (Extracted studies / Total studies) × 3 points
High-quality ratio: (High-quality studies / Total extracted studies) × 3 points


                        Max Score = 8 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 20 points

Requires ONE of:

≥2 human studies + ≥1 RCT
≥1 human study + quality ≥50
≥5 total studies

🔴 LOW CONFIDENCE

Criteria:

Limited human data
Mostly animal studies
<3 total studies
