How we source, date and correct Jabbit research pages
Jabbit’s research pages check health claims against primary documents: published trials, drug labels, trial registries, regulator records, court filings, retraction notices and companies’ own pages. They are for information only and are not medical advice. This page explains the rules every page and every @JabbitApp thread follows, and how to tell us about a mistake.
Sources
- Every factual claim links to its source in the numbered references at the bottom of the page, and we prefer the primary document (the paper, label, registry entry, notice or filing) over news coverage of it.
- Each page says when its sources were checked, and shows a “Published” and “Updated” date. Prices, counts, view numbers, registry statuses and web pages can change, so we give them “as of” a date.
- Where a page is behind a paywall or blocks automated access, we say how we read it.
Our own analysis is labeled
- Counts, comparisons across trials, dose and concentration estimates, and database scans that we did ourselves are labeled as Jabbit’s analysis, with their inputs cited and their limits stated.
- Opinions and judgments are written as ours (“in our view,” “we think”). When something is uncertain, we say so (“appears to,” “we could not find,” “as of”).
People and companies
- When we discuss a named person, company or group, we report what documents say and attribute it: “the journal retracted,” “the regulator found,” “the registry entry lists,” “the company’s website lists.” Findings in a notice belong to the body that issued it.
- We describe conflicts of interest as disclosed ties and say where they are disclosed. We do not speculate about anyone’s motives or intentions.
- When a notice says no misconduct was alleged, or the authors dispute a decision, we say that too. We quote people accurately and link to what they said.
Corrections
If you think something on a Jabbit page or in a @JabbitApp thread is wrong or unfair, send a direct message to @JabbitApp on X with the page address, the sentence and, if you can, a source. (A corrections email address is coming; we’ll list it here when it works.) We review every request. If we got something wrong, we fix the page, update its “Updated” date and, for anything substantive, add a dated correction note on the page saying what changed. On X, when a post was wrong, we reply to it with a correction or remove it.
Not medical advice
Nothing on these pages recommends a drug, dose, product or treatment. Decisions about medicines belong with your prescriber and the current product label.
Who publishes these pages
Jabbit research pages are published by Bridgerapps, which makes and sells Jabbit, a paid iPhone log for injections and medications. That is our interest: pages link to the app, and we earn money when people subscribe.
