Is there a place where major scientific findings are searchable to easily see the level of evidence supporting, whether they have been replicated, etc?

- kirubakaran 8y agoExamine.com does a good job for nutrition/supplements Example: https://examine.com/supplements/melatonin/ https://examine.com/supplements/melatonin/ I wish there were something approachable like that for other fields.

- nonbel 8y agoNo, the best you can do is a find a recent review article. Only rarely will you find direct replications in the case of medical and social research though, so as a heuristic you can just assume the evidence for everything is weak. Also, this reminds me of that paper where they "discovered" that if you spray fart smell in a room that people are more disgusted by the thought of a guy rubbing "his bare genitals along the kitten’s body". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2562923/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2562923/
