Research Reports
EVERY STUDY ON YOUR CONDITION, READ AND RANKED
You have already spent nights on PubMed. Forty tabs open, half behind a paywall, and no way to tell which of it means anything. This is that search done properly.

THE ANSWER IS PUBLISHED. IT IS JUST UNREADABLE.
If you have something rare, your doctor may have never seen it. There is no clean summary page waiting for you. What exists instead is forty papers scattered across twenty years, in journals nobody outside the field reads, plus a trial in Japan that never reported, plus a preprint nobody has checked.
So you go looking yourself. And the search engine hands you the loudest result, not the soundest one. A press release outranks a null finding. A mouse study reads like a breakthrough. A study of nine people and a study of nine thousand look exactly the same on the page.
Here is the thing that should get your attention. Every one of those papers states how it was built, how many people were in it, and which way the result went. That is enough to rank them honestly. Almost nobody does, because it is slow, and because the ranking that makes a journal money is not the ranking that helps you.
How it works
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
The ranking
WHAT IT GRADES ON, AND WHAT IT REFUSES TO
What counts
- Study design, because what a design can establish is not a matter of opinion.
- How many people, since nine and nine thousand are not peers.
- Whether it was people at all, or mice, or cells in a dish.
- Which way the authors themselves said it went, including when they said nothing worked.
- Who paid for it.
- Whether anyone has repeated it, because a first claim and a confirmed one are different things.
What does not count
- The journal name. Impact factor is a property of a journal's citation spread, not of your study.
- How senior the authors are, or which university they sit in.
- How excited the press release was.
- Whether the finding agrees with the current consensus. A well-built study that disagrees scores exactly the same, and gets flagged rather than buried.
What you get
TWO WAYS TO DO THIS
Research Brief
one time, back within a day
- Eight databases swept for your condition
- Every paper ranked by how it was built
- Grouped from strongest evidence down to early work
- What nobody has studied yet, stated plainly
- Every claim carries a real citation you can open
- A private link, plus a PDF to print or hand over
Research Deep Dive
one time, hand reviewed, about a week
Everything in the Brief, and then
- Jess reads every citation himself
- Papers that look relevant but are not get thrown out
- Root-cause, functional context the abstracts never carry
- Specific questions for your own doctor, each tied to the study that raised it
- A short recorded walkthrough of what the evidence actually says
Because he reads each one by hand, only a few go out a month.
See a real one
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE PAGE
This is from a real sweep on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. 562 papers screened, 272 kept. Nothing here was written by hand: every line is assembled from the papers themselves.
That last one is the whole point. You walk into a fifteen minute appointment with a specific question and the paper behind it, instead of starting from nothing.
Where my certainty ends
WHAT THIS IS NOT
I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan. A research report tells you what has been published. It does not tell you what to do, because what to do depends on you, and the person qualified to weigh that is your own doctor.
I will also tell you the limits of the method, because you are paying for it. The ranking reads abstracts, not full papers. Roughly a quarter of records have abstracts too thin to say much, and those get scored conservatively rather than generously. A report can only find what has been published and indexed, so an empty section means nobody has published on it, not that nothing is true.
And on the Deep Dive, where I read every citation myself, I will tell you plainly when the honest answer is that the research does not yet know.

TELL US WHAT TO RESEARCH
Two fields matter most: the condition, and what you actually want answered. Everything else helps the search but is optional.
Questions
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a summary of published research, prepared for your condition, with every source cited so you or your doctor can read the original. It never tells you what to take or what to do. That line is not decoration: it is what keeps the report honest and what makes it useful to bring to an appointment.
What if my condition is extremely rare?
That is exactly who this is built for. Rare conditions are where the literature is most scattered and where a doctor is least likely to have seen your case. If almost nothing has been published, the report says so plainly and shows you what little exists, which is itself an answer worth having.
Can you research something that is not a formal diagnosis?
Yes. A cluster of symptoms nobody has named, a gene from a test result, a suspected condition. The search runs on whatever terms describe it, and you can add other names or related terms to widen it.
How is this different from asking an AI chatbot?
A chatbot generates sentences that sound like an answer, and it can invent a citation that does not exist. Nothing in this report is generated. Every line is assembled from a real record pulled from a real database, and any paper without a working identifier is dropped rather than shown. You can click through and read the original for every single claim.
Will my doctor take this seriously?
That is what the citations are for. Every finding carries a PMID, DOI or trial number, so a clinician can go straight to the source instead of taking our word for anything. The Deep Dive also gives you specific questions tied to specific papers, which tends to make an appointment go better than arriving with a printout of search results.
What do you do with what I tell you?
The condition and your question are encrypted before they are stored, are never sent to our payment processor, and are used only to prepare your report. They are never used to segment you for marketing. If you want your information deleted afterwards, write to support@upgradeyou.life and it will be.
How long does it take?
The Brief comes back within a day. The Deep Dive takes about a week, because Jess reads every citation himself and that is not a thing worth rushing.
What if there is barely any research on my condition?
You still get the report, and it will tell you the truth: what exists, how thin it is, and what nobody has looked at. Knowing that a question is genuinely open is more useful than a confident summary of nothing, and it saves you the nights of searching to find that out yourself.
STOP READING ABSTRACTS AT 2AM. LET SOMEONE DO IT PROPERLY.
Tell us the condition and what you want to know. You will get back something you can actually read, actually check, and actually take to your doctor.
