Method WI-EV v1.0.0. Scores are computed from indexed metadata — volume, evidence grade, agreement, peer-review share, recency and reproducibility — not from expert opinion. A high score means the literature is consistent and well-graded, not that the statement is proven. Records are retrieved from Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and related open registries.
