Study credibility
HIGH
7.5 — 10.0
Methodologically strong. Well executed. Rigorous across all MQ domains.
MEDIUM
5.0 — 7.4
Notable limitations in design, execution, or rigor in at least one MQ domain.
LOW
0.0 — 4.9
Significant methodological, design, or execution shortfalls in one or more MQ domains.
Governance

Audited by clinicians. Versioned in public.

A clinician advisory board reviews scoring drift on a published cadence. When the rubric changes, the version is recorded on every report and your saved studies become free to re‑score.

What the score is not
  • A treatment recommendation.
  • An assessment of whether the study's findings are true.
  • A judgment of how the study applies to a specific patient.
  • A measure of journal prestige or citation impact.

The MedQuiry Score

A multivariable approach to evaluating medical research

How the scoring framework treats a study as a set of interdependent considerations rather than a checklist, why MedQuiry scores complete research rather than abstracts, and how journal quality and the audit process are handled.
