<b>What does this app do?</b><br>
This app extracts key scientific claims from a news article, finds the most relevant PubMed biomedical research papers using robust keyphrase extraction and semantic reranking, checks which sentences in those papers support or contradict each claim, and gives you a plain-English summary verdict.<br><br>
<b>How to use it:</b><br>
1. Paste the link to a biomedical news article.<br>
2. Choose an AI summarizer model below. If you have no special access, use 'TinyLlama' (works for everyone).<br>
3. Wait for the results.<br>
4. For each claim, you will see:<br>
- A plain summary of what research says.<br>
- Color-coded evidence sentences (green=support, red=contradict, gray=neutral).<br>
- The titles of the most relevant PubMed articles.<br><br>
<b>Everything is 100% open source and runs on this website—no personal info or cloud API needed.</b>
