How the index was built
We searched Europe PMC for PubMed records first published from through . We took relevance-ranked samples from two five-year windows per topic, added selected references, and removed duplicate PubMed IDs.
This is a searchable bibliography. Entries came from database searches and may include tangential matches. Study types are based on indexing and titles. The index has no individual quality ratings. Patient guides discuss selected papers alongside the clinic’s assessment approach.
