Medical literature search for European healthcare professionals
Search peer-reviewed medical literature with a clinical question. Get a cited summary of what the published research reports, with every claim anchored to a paper you can audit in one click.
How a search works
Ask a question about a clinical topic in natural language. eUvidence retrieves the relevant peer-reviewed papers, extracts the passages that bear on the question, and returns a cited summary. The reference list stays visible alongside the synthesis, so you can check any sentence against its source.
The same work by hand runs to an hour or more: choosing an index, phrasing the keywords, sifting the abstracts, retrieving the full text, and reading it closely. eUvidence compresses that loop into one question, and leaves the sources in view so the reading you do is the reading that matters.
The corpus eUvidence searches
eUvidence searches peer-reviewed medical journals indexed through standard medical databases, Cochrane systematic reviews, and European regulatory and HTA references from bodies including EMA, NICE, HAS and KCE. Every claim in a summary cites a specific paper from that corpus, with the reference list one click away.
A general search engine indexes the open web, where a clinical query returns patient-information sites and pharmaceutical marketing pages alongside the occasional journal article, and the reader does the quality control. Searching a curated corpus moves that work upstream.
What you can search for
eUvidence answers clinical-topic questions: comparisons of therapeutic options reported in trials, the evidence base behind a guideline recommendation, the design and outcomes of a specific intervention, the state of the evidence in a fast-moving subfield. A question that mentions a specific patient is answered as a question about the underlying clinical topic and the published literature on it.
Every claim carries a citation
Each sentence in a summary carries an inline citation marker, such as [1] or [2,3], linked to a specific paper in the reference list rendered alongside the answer. Title, journal, year and DOI are visible without leaving the page. Clicking a marker scrolls to the matching reference card and flashes it, and the full source paper is one DOI click away.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a medical literature search tool?
- A medical literature search tool answers a clinical question from published peer-reviewed research and cites the papers behind each claim. It searches a corpus restricted to peer-reviewed medical journals, so the evidence you read has been through review. eUvidence is a medical literature search tool for verified European healthcare professionals.
- How is eUvidence different from PubMed?
- PubMed is the canonical index: you search it by keyword and read abstracts. eUvidence sits on top of similar indexed content and adds synthesis. You ask a question in natural language about a clinical topic and get a cited summary of what the underlying peer-reviewed papers report, with inline markers pointing back to each source.
- Are the sources peer-reviewed only?
- Yes. The corpus is restricted to peer-reviewed journals indexed via standard medical databases, plus European regulatory and HTA references (EMA, NICE, HAS, KCE).
- How does eUvidence fit into clinical practice?
- eUvidence is a literature search and synthesis tool for verified healthcare professionals. It gives you a cited overview of published research so you can check every claim at the source, in seconds instead of hours. Clinical decisions remain with the treating physician.
- Can I verify the citations?
- Every sentence in a synthesised answer carries an inline citation marker, such as [1] or [2,3], pointing to the source paper. The reference list is shown alongside the answer with the paper title, journal, year, and DOI. You can open any source in one click and audit the claim against the underlying text.
- Is the tool available in French?
- Yes. The French version is at /fr/recherche-litterature-medicale, and the rest of the product (search, citations, reference list) works in French. Synthesis is generated in the language of the question.
