What gets cited
Clinical pages prefer FDA and other regulatory documents first, then peer-reviewed research, ClinicalTrials.gov records, and professional guidelines. Manufacturer pages may be used for clearly labeled company information. They are not used as the source of an FDA claim when the primary FDA file is available.
Wikipedia is not used for outcomes, safety, indications, or FDA status. Patient stories, if they appear, will be labeled as stories, not as evidence.
What does not get invented
Success rates, complication percentages, recovery clocks, insurance coverage, and ranked lists of surgeons. A number without a source is not published. A non-significant difference is not described as superiority.
Conflicts of interest
This publication states that it is not owned, funded, or sponsored by Premia Spine and does not send leads to the company. The TOPS pivotal study described on the clinical evidence page was conducted for a PMA submitted by the manufacturer; that fact is disclosed there, next to the results.
Review dates
Clinical pages may show an editorial review date when the text was checked for sourcing and clarity. “Medically reviewed” is used only when a named, qualified reviewer has signed off. No such reviewer is listed yet.
Corrections
Factual errors are corrected in place. If the change affects clinical meaning, a short note should travel with it. Send a correction through the contact page. The contact form does not currently transmit messages; include the page URL and the source you recommend once a public address is published, or keep a record of the error until it is.
Independence and audience are described on the About page.
