What is Consensus?
Consensus searches a large database of scientific papers and summarizes what the research says about your question. Instead of reading dozens of abstracts, you get a synthesized answer with links to the underlying studies. It is designed to speed up literature reviews and make it easier to judge where the evidence points. Each answer points back to the papers it draws on, so you can check the sources yourself.
