A claim about a device or drug that cites only the literature is half an answer; MAUDE and FAERS are where the field reports live. Having them beside the papers, the 510(k) clearances and the trial registry means one question can be answered against all of the evidence rather than the flattering half. Smart Citation context is the other differentiator — knowing a paper was cited fifty times is meaningless if forty of those citations disputed it.
Scite grounds claims in citation evidence. The endpoint goes well beyond papers: it reaches patents, clinical trials, grants and several FDA and MHRA datasets in the same connection.
- Literature — search papers and read full text, with Smart Citation context for how a work has been cited
- Patents, clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov, and grants from NIH RePORTER, NSF, SBIR and Wellcome
- Regulatory — FDA 510(k) clearances plus OCR'd full text of their summary PDFs, and MHRA safety alerts
- Safety — FDA MAUDE device adverse events and FAERS drug adverse events
- Drugs — Structured Product Labels, the Orange Book and Drugs@FDA
- Collections — create, search and update collections, adding or removing DOIs
