Evidence moderately supports improved insulin sensitivity with time-restricted eating[1][2], though benefits appear equivalent to daily calorie restriction[3][4].
84,000+ indexed papers across every empirical field.
Built on the Semantic Scholar graph. Grows every time a researcher asks a new question.
Grounded in the literature. Always.
Every answer traces back to real, peer-reviewed sources. No hallucinations, no fabricated citations, no “according to some studies” hand-waving.
Semantic Scholar — 200M+ papers
Every query pulls fresh results from the Semantic Scholar graph, then vector-ranks them against your exact question.
Consensus meter on every query
See at a glance how many papers support, contradict, or remain neutral on your hypothesis. No more cherry-picking.
Grounded synthesis with citations
Claude reads the top-ranked abstracts and writes a single evidence-based answer with inline [1][2][3] citations you can verify.
Filter by study type
Narrow to RCTs, meta-analyses, cohort studies or systematic reviews. Filter by year and minimum citation count.
Saved search history
Every query and answer you run is saved. Re-run, share, or export them to Zotero when you're ready to write.
Paper-level deep dives
Click any citation to read the abstract, authors, journal, year and citation count — plus related papers ranked by similarity.
From question to cited answer in seconds.
A three-step pipeline. Transparent at every layer — you can always click through to the original paper.
Ask a real research question
Type in plain English: "Does intermittent fasting improve insulin sensitivity in adults with prediabetes?"
Papersearch pulls & ranks the literature
We fetch fresh results from Semantic Scholar, embed abstracts with Voyage AI, and rank the top matches by semantic similarity.
Get a cited answer + consensus meter
Claude synthesizes an evidence-based answer with inline citations. A visual meter shows how the literature breaks down: Supports / Neutral / Contradicts.
From the labs, clinics and committee rooms.
We cut our literature review time from 3 weeks to 4 hours. Papersearch surfaced 12 RCTs we'd missed on PubMed — the consensus meter alone changed how I read evidence.
As an ICU physician, I don't have time to read 40 papers per clinical question. Papersearch gives me the grounded summary with citations. It's now part of my morning round prep.
I brief the Senate Health Committee weekly. Papersearch lets me cite 8 peer-reviewed sources for every claim — with the Supports/Contradicts breakdown my chief of staff insists on.
