Above Mind Research Analyzer

Educational tool for critical evaluation and research literacy.

Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical, legal, or professional advice.

Paste a health claim, supplement study, or research abstract to receive an 8-part plain-language analysis — including claim strength, evidence type, confidence level, credibility signals, conflict-of-interest clues, possible red flags, a research literacy tip, and relevant sources from the scientific literature.

How the Analyzer Works

The Above Mind Research Analyzer evaluates submitted text using a structured evidence framework. It identifies the type of study (randomized controlled trial, systematic review, observational study, or unverified claim), rates claim strength, highlights credibility signals, flags potential conflicts of interest or funding bias, and provides a research literacy tip to help you read scientific content more critically.

Who This Tool Is For

This tool is designed for curious adults, students, wellness practitioners, and anyone who regularly encounters health research online or in supplement marketing. It is especially useful for evaluating claims made about supplements, diets, and lifestyle interventions — areas where marketing language often outpaces the underlying evidence.

What the Evidence Ratings Mean

Claim strength ratings — Strong, Moderate, or Weak — reflect the type of study design described in the text. Systematic reviews earn the highest rating. Randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and research summaries are rated Moderate. Unverified claims and marketing language are rated Weak. These ratings are a starting point for critical thinking, not a definitive verdict on the underlying science.

The 8 Analysis Sections

Every analysis produces eight structured sections:

1. Claim Strength — an overall evidence quality signal (Strong, Moderate, or Weak)
2. Plain Language Summary — what the text is actually claiming, in plain English
3. Evidence Type — the category of study design identified in the text
4. Confidence Level — how much certainty the evidence justifies
5. Credibility Signals — positive indicators such as peer review, sample size, or replication
6. Conflict of Interest / Funding Clues — potential industry ties or funding bias
7. Possible Red Flags — overgeneralization, missing controls, or unsupported causal language
8. Research Literacy Tip — one practical skill for reading research more critically
