url: the full explainer
citations_doi and n_citations: the studies, by DOI

What it is not

It is not patient data. Nothing here comes from a person: every row is drawn from published explainers and the peer-reviewed literature behind them. It is not a diagnostic tool and it is not a substitute for a clinician. And it is not a systematic review, so treat the citation list as a reading map rather than as evidence weighting.
