The Service does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, prescribing instructions, or patient-specific clinical guidance.

4. Literature Accuracy and Limitations
ToxPubMed retrieves and ranks literature based on available citation data, abstracts, metadata, indexing, search logic, filters, and confidence signals. Results may be incomplete, outdated, incorrectly ranked, or missing relevant studies. Abstracts may not fully reflect article methodology, limitations, adverse events, conflicts of interest, subgroup findings, or conclusions. A high-confidence result means that the system estimates the record is relevant to the search query. It does not mean that the study is definitive, unbiased, practice-changing, or sufficient for clinical decision-making. Users should review the original PubMed record, full abstract, and full article whenever available.
