HoldsUp

Podcast claims vs the research

HoldsUp checks what health and science podcasts claim against the published research. Ask whether a claim has been checked and get the verdict (supported, overstated, needs context, contradicted or unverified), the GRADE certainty, a one-line note and the studies behind it with their PubMed id, evidence level and retraction status. Verify a new claim live against PubMed and OpenAlex in 20 to 70 seconds. Read a speaker's track record, a show, a topic, a single study, or the money behind it from public funding registers. Sign in by email, pay per call from prepaid credits (1 credit = 1 US cent: a read 1, a claim search 2, a live verification 30), and see the cost and your balance in every answer. Evidence summaries about published research, not medical advice.
